DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.
We live in a society where the majority of people do not want to have any rules placed on their lives. There is a belief that Christianity is an outdated piece of history that has nothing to say in our technologically advanced lives. Maybe you are one of those individuals. After all, why does anyone need to be forgiven? And certainly, we all know right from wrong. After all, any reasonable person knows the rules of the town they live in. They know what not to do to keep them out of trouble with the police.
However, what good behavior and rules fail to do is foster love. For example, most people do not steal out of fear of punishment and not out of love for the other person. Some even think of the Bible in the same way. But the Bible shows us that God’s way not only teaches us to do good but to love our neighbor.
God wants to give us a fresh start and put love into our hearts so that we can truly be the person that we were created to be. Without him, we will never really know how to love people.
