And Cilla's only prayer at this time was that Erick was aware and could personally acknowledge and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior, if indeed God would take. This is what Cilla actually fears if Erick loses now who has not been converted, there can be no reunion in heaven later because their direction is different.
Erick's examination was out and almost all the bones were broken, but Titan and Erfan's doctors believed the miracles were still there, so they tried to calm his sister down.
"Sister I don't believe there are miracles, but one thing I fear is that if Erick is called this way, Erick's brother has not yet fully repented, it's Cilla's fault, not forcing Erick's brother to repent" cilla hugged Titan and Erfan
"Non, remember that repentance is God's business with the person concerned, we do not have the power to change someone, we can only lead the rest of the Holy Spirit, so do not blame yourself" Erfan is wise
"Non, you've done your job well, reminding your husband to repent, but maybe the time has not yet, Erick must be back. It could be that God used this event to be Erick's turning point. So keep hoping and relying on God. God is good, what seems impossible to us is very possible for God, God never disappoints" said Titan
"Thank you, brother Erfan, please do your best for Erick" said Cilla
"Surely non, doain yes.., keep coming home break your kasian babes!" pinta Erfan and Titan together
"I'm not here, book a room and check up as well" said Cilla
"Ok, Non if so" replied Titan did not want to argue with his sister
One week since the accident there was not the slightest sign of Erick's consciousness even though the wounds on his body had begun to recover. Cilla faithfully accompanied Erick despite a little difficulty due to his pregnancy but did not prevent him from continuing to care for Erick who is now moved to a special care room for Erick who was made by daddy Ardana who ate the funds not a little but they were torn for the sake of their favorite son. Money is nothing compared to the lives of those we love.
Mom Eunike has also begun to learn to accept the reality, this life belongs to God so what he makes good. One thing that Mom Eunike learned from this event is that life is short so do not be busy with worldly things but pay attention to eternal life, our future life after death. And the main task of parents If you have children pay attention to their spiritual needs, do not just physical needs.
That's what she was grateful for after Regan married Ziona, Regan had already begun to repent and had even opened her heart to accept Jesus. And there was Erick who he was worried about, and now he was still unconscious.
Flass back on
After Regan is married to Ziona, Ziona accidentally does a PA at his house and definitely invites Regan, PA komsel (cell group) and the region into Joe's lead. It is not only the Regan family but there are 10 families including the family of Mr. Gio and Mr. Hendry, Joe who became the caterer.
As always, the first material always begins with the guarantee of salvation or grows in grace. Joe exposes the material in detail and is simple so that it is easy to understand.
Grace or eternal life is the gift of God, the gift of God to us who do not deserve it.
Eternal life or heaven is not obtained by good works, worship, and not as a reward.
Eternal life or heaven is obtained as a free gift. It is not necessary to be paid for anything (kindness, worship, etc.)
But everyone cannot receive the Gift of eternal life because something stands in the way, what is it? "SIN"
All sinners in this world have sinned, including us.
"Sin is a violation of God's commandments. Such as: stealing, killing, adultery, envy, dirty talking, bad thinking, anger, revenge, hate, etc" several people answered simultaneously
"Na..it's all right, plus the consumption of drugs, nyopet, pornography, cheating, corruption, anyway a lot" continued Joe
Not even doing the good we can do and not caring about God is a sin. Such as: helping people who are in distress is good but not done, or know worship is good but not done, know read the Scriptures but not done, etc.
If we only commit 3 sins in 1 day, then 1 month has 3x30 days already 90, and in 1 year has sinned more than 1000. If we are given the opportunity to live 80 years, our sins are 80,000 more. With that much sin, of course, we do not deserve to go to heaven, right?
Man cannot save himself from sin. Like a person drowning in suction mud, it was impossible to lift his body by pulling hair.
Because our lives are not like scales, as long as our good is more than sin, we hope to go to heaven. Why...?
Because to enter heaven God requires that we must be PERFECT, meaning that there must be no sin in our lives.
For example, I want to make cake, sugar, butter, already mixed then I use 10 eggs mixed into the dough and 9 grains are all good, arriving - arrived the last rotten, then I use 10 eggs mixed into the dough and 9 grains are all good, although only 1 is rotten but it has tainted all the good dough.
Likewise 1 sin alone has tainted all our good and made us unworthy before the Perfect God.
So it is impossible to go to heaven with all the good we do. It means there has to be another way... Let's see how God works.
There are two false notions about the person of God :
God is not like a good grandfather figure, for example we are naughty must still love but not punish us who sin. So many people are free to do their best because they exaggerate God's love but forget His justice.
God is not a fair police figure. Only willing to punish without forgiving those of us who sin. So many people live in fear because they think God is punishing but ignoring God's love.
The truth is God is both love and justice. God loves us with eternal love and does not want to punish us. But what about God's justice?
For example, there are people who rob banks, because they are proven to be in violation, the prosecutor decides to punish 5 years in prison. Even though the robber said. I pleaded guilty, I regretted, repented and promised never to repeat again.
But a just judge is unlikely to acquit him, because justice means that the wrong must be punished.
Likewise, a just God punishes all of us sinners. The law of our sin is Death, suffering in Hell for a long time.
Do you see the problem...?
