good news

This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”

Romans 1:17 NLT

Last night I went to the movies with girlfriendd to watch Mrs Harris goes to Paris. Mrs Harris is inspired to buy a Christian Dior dress, and has several windfalls which enables a cleaning lady to travel to Paris to buy an expensive dress. All silly nonsense, but apparently the story around the woman who changes the course of a fashion house has some merit. 

We have a better windfall than dollars or dresses, we have eternal life. Jesus gives us the good news in the gospels, especially John 3:16. Paul, the writer of Romans had the same experience. He was travelling the way of a religious zealot, persecuting Christians, when Jesus knocks him from his horse and asks why Paul is persecuting Him. Paul had what is called a paradigm shift. I have had this shift, from religious Catholic to a born again believer with a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

Yesterday I read a post about a born again Catholic believer who still is a Catholic. Not being a Catholic anymore suits me as I found Jesus outside the Catholic system. However, it still works for some. I have a cousin who enjoys the system while having a living faith. 

The important message is being born again into eternal life. Amen!
