The So we talked about the cross and how at the cross everything changed we could be forgiven but it's not just about

this one-time decision where we decide okay we believe that it's about the change of a lifestyle and this is where

so many people get it wrong they think that it's just about this one-time

decision to just come before God and say okay clean me up, wipe me clean, so I don't have to face your judgment.

Yes, that's what happens there when we believe in him, but so much more.

I mean, it's about this idea that I have access to him. That it changes every day

because it's not just about me interacting with people anymore, but now I literally

have access to God. Like I can pray to him and he hears me and the craziest things have happened

through my prayers. Man, life becomes completely different when you realize man it's just

about not about me and these other people

but I can connect to that holy god the Creator and all of that was done because of the

cross and what Jesus said was the most important command is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and all your mind.

So it's not just about me getting something from him, but it's about me knowing him and loving him and our

hope is that you would do that that now that you have access to him that you use that

daily and get into his presence. Tell him your desires, tell him your

heart, tell him your struggles, tell him about this life that you're living and he knows

at all, but it's about you building that relationship.

And we know that this whole calling to follow

is something that is so difficult

because he says the majority of the world is going to be against you.

There's a much easier road you could have taken but you're taking this difficult road

because you've got temptations all around you, you've got people that hate the way that you believe now,
