Have you made New Year’s resolutions like to Lose Weight, Stop Smoking, or Get Organized. That’s great. But, did you know that studies show that nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions are broken – by February. So rather than a year long resolution how about a 21 day challenge – to read the Gospel of John a chapter a day. The Bible says, “it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Ever lied? Stolen? Hated? Jesus calls hatred murder! Looked with lust? Jesus calls lust adultery. Innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? God does not want you to go to Hell (1 Timothy 2:4). Two thousand years ago, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. Jesus being fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the Law and then willingly became the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. He died on a cross to pay for your sin (1 John 2:2). Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin, death and the devil. If you repent and believe the Gospel, then God will forgive all of your sins and give you eternal life (Acts 17:30-31, Mark 1:15, John 3:36). This year, instead of making resolutions, take the 21 day challenge. Read the Gospel of John one chapter a day. It may change you life and your eternal destination! “These things were written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). www.afterlifecatalog.com/21/
