Paying the Consequences

Have you ever done something that you knew you shouldn't?

Today I did and trust me. I learned my lesson.

 Remember how I mentioned a few posts ago about my new paleo lifestyle and how I think I have an intolerance to some sort of grain or gluten? I had a few...ok a bunch of Oreos. And then I had some awesome pasta corn Alfredo thingy that Matt made for dinner. 

And now I'm paying the consequences. I. Feel. Terrible...Seriously. And the worst part? This isn't even the worst act I've ever committed! 

I'm a liar, a cheat, a jerk, I'm greedy, lustful, gluttonous, I used to swear like a sailor, I'm jealous and the worst? Christ has died because of me..because of my sins. 

And not just because of me but because of the sins of the world... Because the only way for us to be with Him was by his death. He provided a way for us to have a relationship with Him and to spend eternity with Him. 

So what I find amazing besides the fact that Christ wants a relationship with us, is that we no longer have to pay the consequences for our sins...my sins. 

Not only did He provide a way for us, but once we accept Him as Christ, our slate is washed clean and His righteousness is stamped on us. 

Nothing we say or do can ever change that. 

What about them apples?? :)

The only thing we have to do is repent of our sins and accept that Christ has paid the consequences for us. 

So between friends, what about you? I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in the whole sinning business. 

Have you accepted Christs' work? 

If not, please, please, please, contact me or someone else you trust, who knows Christ, and start a relationship with the most amazing Father ever.
