Living without Christ is like being the Dead Sea…that huge body of water in the Middle East with no outlet and 35% salinity. Even though it’s cobalt blue waters are beautiful, nothing can live in that…no fish…no plants…no life.  No matter how pretty or handsome a person is on the outside…no matter how popular or successful…without Christ, a person is spiritually dead on the inside. However, that can all be changed…from death unto life…by trusting in Jesus Christ as your God and Savior from sin.

2 Corinthians 5:14-17

14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

“There is no fullness of joy anywhere except in Christ. God has made the human heart so only He Himself can fill it. All the pleasures of the world, all the riches of earth, though they may bring a temporary thrill, leave unsatisfied the longing of the heart.” ~ Bob Jones, Jr.

The Lord bless you and keep you…
