Steven Chambers left a comment for Donna Wilcher"Hey Donna, I said the words as a child but could not remember when. I wanted to put finality to this in my life. The Lord has been working in my life for the last year or so, and when our pastor James McDonald was preaching on april 25th, God…"
Steven Chambers replied to Thomas Nelson Bibles's discussion Day 2-Chapter 2 of Acts in the group Read Through Acts in the Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible"since 4/25/2010 God has rocked my world. I know what it means for the first time what is talked about in Acts 2. I so much want to be available to God to use me in any way that he wants. I have given my business, life entirely to him."

I'm so glad you now not only know "about" God, but you "know" Him personally. And you're right..it's an "18 inches from heaven" thing...Enormous difference! Actually the difference between heaven and hell.
Saying the words and actually "recieving" the words are 2 difference things interely.
I think "maybe" that is part of what Jesus meant when He said..." “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day (the day of judgment), ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:21-23
That scripture scares me like no other does.
Saying words, or doing "things"; going to church, giving $$..etc..are good things but don't get you into the Kingdom, or heaven....People go to heaven because they have obeyed God by accepting His one and only Son Jesus and what He did on that cross...THEN we do all those "other" things as a result of it.
Far to many have it backwards, and will be rejected on Judgement day, and what a sad day that will be.
