Being a Christian: A relation between God, You and Sins

Most of us reads the bible but most of us are not aware about some of the verses which has differ meaning and probably has self-impact. Basically, some read the bible just for entertainment; some read it for history reference. Well, defining each contents of the bible, it is clearly un-understandable or should I say it is really tough to understand with only limited knowledge. Now, most of us know that the bible is a key on order for us to know ones-self, a key in order for us to know more about God, a key in order for us to become a true Christian. I will give some brief history of my life. I was born and raised as a roman catholic, both mom and dad are catholic which means all of our family and some relatives are catholic. It started at the year 2012 when one of my cousins became a born-again hristian, knowing the fact that he was converted into a born-again. That cousin of mine approach me, he teaches me various topics about God, how to repent how to become a true christian, at first, it was weird because I do not care about that kind of thing the only thing I know is that when we die we will immediately enter heaven. We talk and talk until he finally gets me. That’s the point where I also converted to be a born-again. Now, going back to the topic, many people thinks that if you die you will immediately enter heaven but they are wrong. According to the bible verse “for the wages of sin is death, but the gift if God is eternal life thru Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom. 6:23. Now let e emphasize this verse, first of all what are sins? Sins are things that we have done against God’s commandments. Such as killing, stealing etc, for most of us, killing is the major sin, but not, lying, disobedience, envy, lust, and just a simple act of taking just one coin is considered a sin. Many of us are blinded with this taught. Now, as it said in the verse there’s a “wage”, wage is the penalty we could get for doing despicable manner. The penalty is death. Are you willing to burn your soul in hell? But in the verse there is hope, there is a way to overcome death, it is by receiving God’s gift, the eternal life. Of course, in order to receive the gift we must believe in Jesus our Lord obey His will, do what He wants and accept Him in our life. Therefore we will be able to enter the kingdom of God without any falter here on earth. We will be able to obliterate all the sins that we do because of our Lord Jesus. Now, the best thing is to accept Jesus in order to achieve the eternal life.
