Nobody Told Me You Could Die Like This

It's easy to look around see only perfection in other people's lives; however, the Bible tells us that we are all dead in our transgressions. With that in mind it becomes even easier to look around and see people wearing black veils hiding their sin. Humans are notorious for following the phrase,"monkey see, monkey do." We see the actions of our fellow human beings and use that to justify our own actions, whether or not they honor God. It becomes easy to get comfortable in our secret sin, continuing to white wash our rotting corpse in God's eyes. On the outside we put on a pretty facade which fools our fellow man into thinking that we are good, but God sees the long dead corpse on the inside. He sees the worms, the maggots, the rotten flesh, and every other disgusting feature that comes with the deteriorating body. We are all rolling around in our own filth, making it comfortable until the day our eyes our opened. Everybody will realize their sin, everybody will know who God is, everybody will know what Christ did, but not everybody will learn the truth soon enough. When the day of Judgment arrives, God won't even bother with the shiny exterior, but he will convict straight to the core. No man has anywhere near enough power and or strength to last even a millisecond. That's why Christ's sacrifice is so HUGE. Christians have been made pure, have been made alive through the rejuvenating blood of Christ. Now that we've been made into a new, holy creation, we need to start acting like one. Instead of defining ourselves by our secret sin, we need to confess our sins, repent and turn away from our sinful lives. We need to leave behind the comfort of a life of sin and get uncomfortable by becoming true followers of Christ. We need to strive to be like Jesus, to live like Jesus so when the day comes we can stand before the thrown of God, holy and blameless. However, that means giving up the comfort of this life and following a path that involves persecution, discomfort, and sacrifice. So, who wants to get... Uncomfortable?
