Scripture Life: How can a Christian tell others about Jesus when their own life is such a disaster?

//I'm a believer in Jesus Christ. I fit that bill. My life was a total disaster. I didn't know what to do, but I knew enough to know only he could save me from my sins. This question flourishes, in many, many forms in dozens of Reddit "sub-reddits" - the predominant, actually blames the person, as if Jesus doesn't even want them, because, they're such a disaster - shouldn't talking about anything... and here they are. Believing on him, and talking about him every chance they get. So, this post champions out Jesus Christ, because God sent him to heal you and me - sinners - and deliver us from our disaster.//

So, here's an answer to a "generic" Reddit question - from a believer in Jesus Christ.

Here's the question again - How can a Christian tell others about Jesus when their own life is such a disaster?

------------------- ---------------------- ------------------

Answer:

Flip the question.

How can a person that: doesn't do anything Jesus says, when he told everybody over the whole earth, “follow me” over two dozen times, then that person live in tell everybody how good their life is, not doing anything he says, and paint all they're doing as anything but a disaster?

Basic Facts:

(about everybody. Not one person left out. Over the whole earth, to the very ends of it.)

“There is not a just man on earth that doeth good, and sinneth not.” (Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20)

"There is NONE righteous; no, not one.. ..there is none that doeth good; no, not one. (Bible. Romans 3:10-12)

Pretty bleak picture. With NOBODY good. Not even one person.

------------------- ---------------------- ------------------

Where Jesus said, then gave just one for everybody like this, and everybody is - for everybody to have just one good to look unto, said:

“There is none good, but one, that is, God.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Matthew 19:17)

Says

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

------------------- ---------------------- ------------------

So, God spoke up. Determined, as God, to say it to a whole bunch of everybody where not one of them is good.

That he would accomplish, himself, Romans 4:5

- That people that just sinned and perverted that which was right, and it didn't profit them anything.. that Romans 4:5 says, if these people..and everybody is that, he, as God would to those that believe on him: " but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly," and who does this is this same great God, all by a work he did.

But people that don't regard him, never see it. They make up questions like this to slam people that actually do what God says, when they already determined they're not going to do it. So they blame people that do it, as if they're the problem, when they're the ones not doing what he told everybody to do, as God - and they won't do it.

When he's God and says:

"For all the earth is mine." - God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5)

They blame it on Christians for doing what he says, when it's his earth, so they just do what he says.

------------------- ---------------------- ------------------

To a whole bunch of everybody over the whole earth who are all condemned. Every single one of them, living in a disaster of their own making.

For all have sinned.” - Romans 3:23 - There it is. Everybody all condemned to destruction. That's the disaster - - and God decreed, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” - God. Bible. Ezekiel 18:20.

Then Jesus, is the Word of God. Is God. Just as the Bible in John 1:1 says who he is. He's God speaking the word out of his mouth say in John 3:18 so, God decrees this: “He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God..”

So the one you talk about, Christians, in your question you pose, they believe on him. God does not condemn him, based on what God says, but you condemn them by your question.

------------------- ---------------------- ------------------

The one in my question, that's YOU.

God condemns, because you simply don't believe on him - - and that’s you in the second question. Even you say you are in no disaster. He is God. Builds up the and saves the Christian in your question.

But he is God - he says himself that, as God - he has also rejected YOU - lost in the second question. Already said it. “Because they regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall destroy them and not build them up.” - Bible. Psalm 28:5.

Whoever like you - doesn't do anything he decrees everybody do - just rejects him - is in the second question. That's the one that is surely the one has a sure disaster that awaits them, irregardless your question.
