Life Without God! by Myra Boozer

“Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil...It has no point!" When the woman in the book of John, chapter 8 was taken in adultery in the very act the Law wanted to stone her. So they asked Jesus. He stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger, "He that is without sin among you, let him cast a stone at her...” And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. I WONDER WHAT HE WROTE THAT TIME! Whatever it was it CONVICTED their own conscience and they went away one by one. Jesus was left alone with the woman. WHAT DID HE TELL HER TO DO? He got up from the ground and asked "woman where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?" She said, “No man Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee...” And here is the clincher that many don't want to hear! “...go and sin no more." That was the answer Jesus gave!

Yes, heaven will be full of people who were once sinners. But they were convicted in their hearts by the words of Jesus and they like the woman stayed behind to hear what the LORD had to tell them, "...go and sin no more." But that is not the end! Jesus said in John 8:12, "...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness (sin), but shall have the light of life.” But do you know what the Pharisees said to him about that? "...Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true." That is what many in the world are believing today that HIS Word is not TRUE! That is why we live in such a SAD world because so many are unbelievers!

John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Jesus tells us in John 8:34, "...Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” BUT the best verse for all is John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” We must believe! If we truly believe, we will follow after the Lord daily. We will no longer be called a drunkard, a thief, a liar, an adulterer, or a sinner! We will be called by the name of Christ, a Christian! I truly want to be worthy of His name!
