God rescued you from a dead-end life
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
1 Peter 1:18-21 (The Message)
This passage explains things far more clearly then I ever could. Jesus paid the price for our sins, took the blame for our sins, so that we could be considered worthy of spending eternity in heaven. Take a minute to thank Jesus for dying for you, for the pain and suffering He went through is far greater then we can even imagine. And because of Him, we now have a future in God.
