Your story of redemption through the Cr...Hi Susan,<br /><br />Your story of redemption through the Cross of Christ is an encouragement to all! <br /><br />The suffering of our souls is clearly evident in the world today. Before the forgiveness and salvation of Christ is applied to our hearts through confession, repentance, and the indwelling Holy Spirit, we can only be seen as an example of being in "the marketplace of slavery to sin (Galatians 3:13; 1 Timothy 2:6)." Every person who has ever lived has a sin problem! Our individual types of "slavery to sin" may be different, but it all leads to death - the eternal death we would experience if not for Jesus Christ who paid a ransom price to redeem mankind.<br /><br />We all have that heart problem you mentioned. But when the gift of Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross is substituted for what would have been our own spiritual death, who would EVER want to go back to that "marketplace of slavery to sin?"<br /><br />All people have been in that "marketplace." But the Good News of the Gospel is that there is no need to stay there! <br /><br />Keep sharing your love for Jesus the Messiah, Susan! Those who are being culturally brainwashed into thinking that nothing could set them free from the lesbian lifestyle needs to read your story and see that through Christ - it is indeed possible!<br /><br />Love & God Bless!<br /><br />ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-77402901822461899522011-10-15T09:58:54.139-07:002011-10-15T09:58:54.139-07:00Hi Christine,
These are beautiful words. Thank y...Hi Christine,<br /><br />These are beautiful words. Thank you. The sun is shining brightly in SC today.<br /><br />You said: “. . . I discovered that angry skeptics are just lost people who have a severe hole in their heart (whether they want to admit it or not) that can never be filled until they are redeemed through the Cross of Christ and reconciled back unto God. That is when a person becomes whole spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and even physically!”<br /><br />I was a very angry skeptic as I tried to reconcile my behavior, emotions and identity as a lesbian for more than 20 years during my death style in a way the world calls a lifestyle.<br /><br />I had a heart problem and did not know it. “For out of the heart come evil thoughts…” (Matthew 15:19). Only the Great Physician, Jesus the Messiah, can give us a new and healthy heart.<br /><br />My wholeness continues to progress in a positive direction toward the ONE G-D of ISRAEL as my wounds from childhood, adolescent and adult abuse continue to heal. Some of my abuse was self-inflicted.<br /><br />Keep shining the LIGHT of the ONE who lives in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). Your brilliance is being seen all over the world from the east to the west. Much love to you and your readers in the world this day!
