The Good News Is Not Just Good Advice
What drew you to Jesus? Was it a sincere desire to change? Or, did you want to simply your quality of life? It seems like many have equated a personal relationship with Jesus and His Word as simply “self help” or good advice. In the Book of Matthew (10:34), Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword”. In other words, Jesus came to save the world from the world.
We have watered down the gospel as just another self help book. When Jesus told Nicodemus he must be born again (John 3:3), He was referring to a spiritual birth where we are made new. With true salvation comes a change of: heart, mind and sight.
Becoming a more positive person is a natural result of inviting Jesus to live in your heart…
