My thoughts!

I am sure by now all know that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I applaud our military for carrying out such an amazing task. What a courageous act it was for the Navy Seal men. To me the reality of heaven and hell ring louder than ever before. Does Bin Laden deserve what he got, absolutely, here on earth and now for eternity in hell. I look at myself and I deserve the same for eternity. I have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I have rebelled against the almighty God. But by the grace of God and His work in my life I have been redeemed by what Christ did on the cross. I can not boast in anything I have done and I can't compare myself to anyone else to justify why I should be in heaven over someone else. I once stood as an enemy of God. By grace alone through faith alone in Christ Jesus my eternity is secure, not because of a single thing I have done it is only by Christ alone.

My heart breaks for so many people who think only the really evil people will go to hell. As hard as it is for our humans minds to understand if Bin Laden would have believed in Jesus and repented of his sins he would be in heaven right now. That to me speaks volume of how incredible the God I serve is. That there isn't a sin that God won't forgive. That a person is never too far gone to be reached by the grace of God. I pray that God will use this all for His glory. I pray that instead of us thinking we are good enough because we compare ourselves to one another that we will stop and compare ourselves to God. We can never measure up to Him. We can never be good enough to earn our way into heaven. The ONE and ONLY way to be found not guilty is to believe in Jesus and repent of sins. I pray that anyone who reads this will examine their life. If you have a bible read the book of John and the book of Romans. Cry out to God and allow Him to do a work in you that only He can do.
