Don’t need God
Usually when we think we don’t need God it is when everything in life is going great in life. But what about when we experience that crisis in our life. That’s when we realize we can’t do life on our own. Let some of these verses soak in and consider how much we all need God!

Sound familiar? Still think you don’t need God?
Hopefully by now you’re thinking to yourself…I need God! But if not, we’re still not done.
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those you are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,there will be wrath and anger.” Romans 2:5-8
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23-24
For God so loved the world!

“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them”. John 3:36

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Romans 10:9-10

Jesus, how I have sinned to think that I didn’t need you. I’m coming to you now asking you to forgive me. I truly believe in my heart that you paid the price for my sins by dying on the cross. I believe that you were raised from the dead to give me new life even though I don’t deserve it. I trust in you and that only you can save me from all the junk and failure in my life to give me a new life with you. I thank you that you never gave up on me. In Jesus’ perfect name. Amen
