10 Mistakes People Make with Life (plus 1 bonus)

Jesus Raises Lazarus from the DeadLightning fast read meant to make you think…

10 Mistakes People Make with Life (plus 1 bonus):

1. Forget how short life really is. (Psalm 39:4-5)
2. Think they are descendants of apes, products of chance (embrace Darwin’s theory of evolution) when it’s God Himself who gave them life. (Genesis 2:7)
3. Waste their life on wanton pleasure and indulgence. (Luke 15:11-16; Hebrews 11:24-26)
4. Think there is more than one life (believe in reincarnation) when there is not. (Hebrews 9:27)
5. Don’t come to the One who is Life to discover what theirs is meant to be. (John 11:25-26; 14:6)
6. Forget that life doesn’t end with death for the believer in Jesus Christ. (John 3:16; 11:25-26)
7. Don’t realize this life isn’t really “life” at all (it is nothing more than the testing ground to find out who is worthy of eternal life). (Romans 2:5-11; Hebrews 9:27)
8. Reject the Bible which is God’s manual on how to live (B-asic I-nstructions B-efore L-eaving E-arth). (Hebrews 4:12)
9. Blame others for their lot in life instead of taking responsibility (Adam and Eve). (Genesis 3:11-13)
10. Forget that, though they may have wasted their lives to this point, God can redeem a life and cause all things to work for good. (John 11:14, 43-44; Psalm 30:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:28)

BONUS Overlook that some Christians will be called to lose their lives for the faith (physically) and be killed by those who think they are doing it for God (we must not love our lives even unto death). (John 16:2; Hebrews 11:37-38; Revelation 6:9, 12:11)
