A lot of teens nowadays feel like they have to be with someone in
order for them to feel wanted and loved. Well... why is this? It’s because they
either do not have Jesus in their heart or they do not prioritize Him. I know, I
know, it sounds a little cliché to say "God has to be #1 in your life" but it’s
honestly true! If you don't try to serve Him and just do your own thing then
what's the point in calling yourself a Christian? Oh I know! It’s so you can
have a free pass to heaven right? Yeah that's what I thought. Think of all the
things that God has done for us. First off he actually created us and everything
else. One major sacrifice He gave up His son, Jesus. God gave up His only son to
die on the cross for our sins! Jesus was nailed on the cross because people
thought He was a fraud by saying he is God's son. Jesus is fully man and fully
God. He is perfect. But yet even though God knew that, He still sent His son to
die on the cross. Of course God had the power to take Him off the cross and make
things as if that never happened. I mean... He is God. The reason why He didn't
though is because God just loves us so much and He wants us to be with him and
be able to have a relationship with him! When we believe in Him and accept Him
into our hearts that is the only way we go to heaven. No other way. Not by good
works or anything else. We serve Him because we want to and that’s what He
deserves.
