My friend said that 2012 was a reminder that the end of the world is about to come...
My other friend said that she watched the interview of the movie stars and they were saying that they didnt believe it becoz its only a movie, people made that up...
And apparently a few people say that someone predicted that in 20 dec 2012 (or something like that) the world is going to an end...
The important thing is, what is going to happen with me when the world is ended whether its gonna be in 2012 or not??? what would i be doing after that??? is there anything after this life???
We learned last saturday at youth group that we need to becareful about how we listen to the gospel and what we listen shows the truth about our heart. Why is it important in the first place to pay attention to the gospel?? what is the gospel and why are christians so into it??
The gospel is the good news about Jesus's death on the cross to pay off our sin and his ressurection which showed that he conquered death (1 Corinthians 15). Christians are so excited about sharing the gospel because we heard about this good news and want to share it with the rest of the world.
The gospel is worth it to focus on because for me personally, the message of the gospel gives me hope, a living and certain hope that is not like any other hope that the world has to offer. A hope that gives me a secure and certain place in heaven. I wanna go to heaven and I dont think I would be able to reach God's standard to be a good person so then I can go to heaven because I keep failing when I attempted to do so. In other words, my good deeds would never be able to cover up my bad deeds because I keep failing and failing in doing so.
The saturday talk at youth group was based on Luke 8:1-18. It was about the parable of the sower and the parable represented different responses people can have towards the gospel. People can:
- completely ignore the gospel
- excited at first but when they face suffering, they fall away
- hear the gospel but influenced by other things in the world thus their focus in the gospel shifted away
- hear the gospel and respond to it and persevere till the end
The passage reminds me that knowing which group I belong to is important because it allows me to look at myself and where my hearts is heading towards. If my heart is heading towards Christ then I can be confident in him that I'll be with God later on when the world is ended whether it'll be in 2012 or sooner or later :D:D
It means that I dont have to worry about doing good works and all that to cover up my bad deeds before the end of the world. Because I know I am saved through Jesus' death and resurrection not by doing good works and it is all happen on ly by God's grace.
