As people, we were born into bondage, the bondage of sin as a result of the fall. Every one of us has a sin nature and it is this nature that needs to be surpressed, so that the nature of God can be realised in our lives. It blows me away the level of love God has for all of us, the bible says that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). This means that when we were carrying on with our bad behaviour all our lives, to whatever level we took it to, God was looking down on us heartbroken because of the level of love he has for us. The thing is, that because of our sin nature, when we were doing these things, we did not even recognise that we were doing anything wrong and we justified our actions by saying “It my life and I have the right to make my own choices”, while all the time God was saying “I love you”. Some of us my have done many things in the past that we are not proud of and any times our past stops us from moving forward. However we serve a forgiving God! Many religions say, in order for you to get to heaven you first have to balance out all of your sins in this life first and if you are not able to do this, then you will come back again to try and balance it out in that life. They say if you keep on coming back it will always be in a lesser form than before. Then there are other religions that says, you have to watch everything that you do and weigh them in the balance and if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, then at the end of your life their god will decide whether or not you get into heaven. I am so thankful that we serve a loving God who said, “I am not going to force you to do anything but here is my love and here is the proof of my love. I came down to where you are, to experience what you experience, to feel the pain how you feel it, to be tempted how you are tempted. This was so I could pay the ultimate price and become the sacrifice for your sins, so that just as long as you accept this sacrifice and entrust your life into my hands, not only will I cleanse you of all of your past sins, I will also empower you to live a life without sin and even if you do unintentional sin just as long as you truly repent, I will forgive those sins also”. Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Because of this action of love we can be blameless, spotless, set apart from the rest of the world for his glory. Sometimes the enemy tries to bring back your past and throw it in your face. When he does I want you guys to remember the lyrics of this song: “I am blameless, you call me holy, I am forgiven, you call me righteous, I am free. I am spotless, you call me worthy, I am your child, you call me chosen I am yours. I am YOURS” This is how much God loves you! We are living in a world that is broken and the only person who can fix it is the person who made it.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Parallel Principals In order for a person truly build a success Reliv business, they have to have a genuine love for helping other people. Once they have that love, it will be demonstrated in actions. We direct people to the Reliv system because the system is not bias, it does not care how successful you were before you came to Reliv, it does not care how many times you failed in other network marketing businesses. It does not care how good a public speaker you are and it does not care about your level of education. All you have to do is plug in. Even then your distributors may be going off on a tangent, the love that you have for their success should cause you to guide to back to the system. However remember guys, love is never forced, it is their choice. ************************************************* Jason Gregory, Mentor & Business Coach www.jasongregory.info **************************************************
