1 Peter 1:24-25a

“All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

"UNTIL WE TRULY RECOGNIZE OUR NEED FOR CHRIST, WE WILL REMAIN EMPTY!"
We can claim to have accepted Christ as our Lord & Savior,
We can attend every service held at our church,
We can memorize every scripture,
We can recite a good sermon,
We can even pray for those in need!

But the truth is that:
UNTIL WE TRULY RECOGNIZE OUR "OWN" NEED FOR CHRIST, WE WILL REMAIN EMPTY!

"EMPTINESS IS ALL THAT AWAITS THE NEEDLESS SOUL!"
Proverbs 27:7 says,
"Someone who is full refuses honey, but anything bitter tastes sweet to a hungry person."
"IF WE CLAIM THAT WE ARE FULL, THEN CHRIST CAN POUR NOTHING INTO US & WE REMAIN THE SAME!"
It is when we actually realize that all of our activities, all our contributions & all our achievements merit absolutely nothing in the face of Eternity!

"CHRIST IS THE ONLY ONE TO EVER EXPERIENCE ETERNITY!"
"HE INTENDS TO GUIDE US DOWN THE PATH THAT LEADS TO LIFE!"
"WE CAN NOT CLAIM TO KNOW A PLACE WE HAVE NEVER BEEN!"
"WE CAN NOT CLAIM TO LEAD A LIFE WE HAVE NEVER LIVED!"
"THEREFORE, LET'S STOP TRUSTING OUR ABILITIES TO GET US THERE!"
"INSTEAD, LET US TRULY RECOGNIZE OUR NEED FOR JESUS CHRIST!"
