What A Difference God Makes (7 of 10)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Ecclesiastes 8
If you want to read a book about life and how to live it to the fullest . . . then the Bible is the book for you! Now when you come to the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes .. you find the journal of a King. His name was Solomon. And like so many of you . . . Solomon set out on a quest for the best. Now you would think that being King would bring contentment and fulfillment into his life .. but in looking back over his life .. he realized that life without God was empty!
Friend . . . life is different for those who know God from those who don't! I mean .. when you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ your past is forgiven . . . your present is fulfilling .. and your future is fabulous!
When you have peace with God and the peace of God through Jesus Christ . . . Your past is erased . . . your present is enjoyable .. and your future is eternal.
Now you say, ''Wait just a minute. Even a saved person is going to physically die.'' That's right! The person with Christ is going to die physically .. but death doesn't threaten a Christian because death can't take away anything important!! What a difference God makes!! You say, ''Ernest, I feel sorry for you because you're a Christian.'' Well don't! I feel sorry for you because you're not a Christian!
You're just existing and I'm living! You're enduring life and I'm enjoying it! You're still searching for contentment and I've found it! Life to you is monotonous and life to me is marvelous. Not because I'm better than you (you may be better than I am) and not because I'm smarter than you (because you might be smarter). And not because I possess more than you (because you may possess more) .. But because I've discovered that life is complete through a relationship with Jesus Christ! Well .. that's what I want to talk to you about for a few minutes this morning. ''What a Difference God Ma ...
