the real PROSPERITY gospel

May

I

Live

Like

I'm

Owed

Nothing

And

I've

Received

Everything

That's called grace my friends. When we deserved nothing, Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He gave us eternal life, eternal joy, and eternal love. The King of Kings has made us His children so let's live like we are sons and daughters of the most high God! Quit living as if this world could offer you everything. As C.S. Lewis would put it:

"Our lord finds our desires not too strong but too weak. We are half hearted creatures fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us. Like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday by the sea."

Let's live like we're millionaires, amen?! We're owed nothing, and we've received everything! What's holding you back? The Apostle Paul writes that "God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." [2 Cor. 9:8] God already loves us perfectly, and He has already given us everything we need. Money, sex, popularity, it all means nothing. Maybe in this lifetime we won't make too many Benjamins, but we sure are rich in our hearts. Better believe it. Now live like it.

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." [2 Corinthians 8:9]
