What is Christianity all about any way?

What is Christianity all about anyway? What are we on this earth for? Those of you that have been taught the right answer will answer “To follow God and bring Him glory”
What that really means to most of us is “to do my duty and follow Christ because I know better then to choose any other religion, I payed attention in my apologetics class. I know I have fire insurance if I’m a christian.” What about bringing him Glory? “ Well I will do my best to imitate Christ and learn the lessons He sends my way.”
This is what I use to think. Surrender was hard, I didn’t like it. I was scared what God would do with my life if I really gave it up. I was sure my life would be one long continues struggle trying harder each day to be like Christ. It wore me out just to think of it. Surly I would fail. I would disappoint God. How does one endure the disappointment of the Almighty? I could not understand I still thought I needed to add to my righteousness. I didn’t understand that my Kings work needs nothing from me. My Kings work is complete and solid.
Here I am in Asia. I living with 9 other people in a city of about 10 Million. My King has been speaking and reminding me of the very basic foundation of my Faith. My faith is complete in Jesus. Why did Jesus come and pay our debt? Why did He finish our faith? Why did he come to earth as a servant?

“For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son....”
“While we were yet sinners and enemies of the Most High He died for us...”
“God is Love...”
“The first commandment is that you love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul, all your mind and all your strength...”

Christianity is about Love. It’s about first knowing the Fathers love. It’s about knowing you are secure in Him fully and completely. It’s not about you telling your self a million times hoping you will remember. It’s about know His love because you know Him. Do you know Him? If some one told you He didn’t loved you would you doubt? Or would you know it a lie because the day in day out reality of your life is that you live in the love and acceptance of the King? What if every pastor and teacher in your life told you you must earn a special place in Gods heart by doing a list of do’s and don’ts. Would you know it to be false because His spirit bears witness in you? Dear brothers and Sisters, I beg you, turn and see the King, His love is pursuing you fiercely, He moved heaven and earth to come after you. Know Him. Know his love not because some teacher told you but because He told you.
Here in an unreached country the Spirit is bearing witness in me. I walk down these streets and I see the Kings jealous love winning back His kids. I don’t see do’s and don’ts working. I see the King working. I see people changing because the Kings work is perfect. All He does never fails.
Does your theology tell you about the heart of the Father, or does the heart of the Father teach you your theology? One will produce a dead religion. The other will bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth.
I now know the love of my King. I find the greatest joy in surrender and lying down my life. I welcome Him because He has won my heart by His never ending faithfulness. His kindness has brought me to repentance. I rest in His love, gentle mercy, and the knowledge that He poured all His wrath out on Jesus and has none left for me. My Savior Redeemer King. His redemption is alive and well in the lives of His saints. His love is thick in this place. He is bringing in the harvest. He is winning his Kids back. He is having His way, He is wooing and winning His bride!

Lift your eyes, lift your hearts! The King of glory is coming back!
