Surmounting insurrection

     Where do we get off? This is Easter Sunday, and I can't help but recognize the "religiousness" of this day. I keep seeing how churches and business promote themselves using the [Easter] slogan. How do we know that People want to believe in a God, that absurdists are few and far between? From what I understand, Easter has the largest percentile difference in Sunday church attendance. We cannot deny the fact that people are seeking some kind of purpose and eternal life. Why would evolution evolve in us a desire for religion, wouldn't the law of religion restrict us in our innate need to survive? Creating a "Fair" playing field instead of the "fittest" surviving? What I hate more then anything is that one of the biggest bold face lies is told on Sunday mornings all over the country and across the world. That is that Christ died for the sole purpose of getting us the option of taking a get outta' hell free card. This isn't true at ALL. He died so that we may know the father, just check out John 17:3..People have this distorted vision of Christianity being a one and done, acceptance and back to the way I live my life, and living how I want. I have a verse for you people that just think we can go on sinning once we are saved and repent later to..well more then A verse. ¹ What shall we say, then? 

     Romans 6: Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? ² By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? ³ Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

 ⁵ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. ⁶ For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,^[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— ⁷ because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

 ⁸ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. ¹⁰ The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

 ¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. ¹⁴ For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

     Be careful what you believe and teach, for we will be judged more harshly if we teach. Be warned, be aware, be alive in Christ.
