The God of the Real

"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake." A familiar tune I know, but the truth of the matter is that it is all based on a lie. Does that seem like a strong statement? We live in a world where true reality doesn't matter, only perceived reality. If I want to believe in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, or Godzilla that is my liberty. Also, if I don't want to believe in UFOs, Hell, or God, that is also my choice. Jesus plainly stated that those that worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. Do you worship the real Jesus? Do you realize that you need Jesus more than you need air to breathe? When we tell one lie, take one thing that is not ours, or look one time with lust we break the law of God and condemn ourselves to an eternity of punishment in the lake of fire. We are all guilty, and deserve to be punished, but Jesus entered the courtroom of eternity and took your place and suffered your judgment . . . death. We could act the fool and refuse His offer or we could accept it on His terms. What are His terms? You must acknowledge that you havfe broken God's laws, ask for His forgiveness, and give Him complete control of your life. Scripture commands us to follow up our commitment with baptism and involvement in His work. That is real.
