Max on Life

God’s love is unselfish. In fact, if you never love God, he will still love you.

During your years away from God, you lost much: you lost joy, peace, and opportunities to glorify God. But you did not lose your place in heaven.

What do we need to do to be saved?“Whoever believes in him . . .” The debt is too big to pay. Working ourselves to death wouldn’t be enough. So Jesus, out of love, did all the work for us two thousand years ago on a cross outside the walls of Jerusalem. What must we do? Believe. Believe that Jesus died for you and me. Know that God is satisfied and our sin bill has been paid in full.
What will happen as a result of salvation?“Have eternal life.” Jesus’ death on the cross paid for our sins. Jesus’ resurrection from the tomb promises our eternal life. We are no longer stuck on death row. We will be set free to enjoy life eternal with our Savior himself.
God saves us because he loves us.

Good people are taken away, but no one understands. Those who do right are being taken away from evil and are given peace. Those who live as God wants find rest in death”

Never announce your success before it occurs. “One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off ” (1 Kings 20:11).

Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb, and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand. (Eccl. 5:15)

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income” (Eccl. 5:10).

What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

Barnabas, which means “Son of Encouragement”

Bottom line: don’t make a theater production out of your faith.
