Win-Win by Gary Rose

I forget where I found the saying above, but I jotted it down and made a new graphic of my own. Whoever came up with this compilation is certainly a very positive person indeed! Christians are to be like this, because Christianity is a win-win scenario. If we live, we live for God, for God is always with us; if we die, we just change locations, for we will still be with God. As I reflected this matter, I thought of the sermon on the mount, where Jesus said…

Matthew 5 ( World English Bible )

 ¹ Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.  ² He opened his mouth and taught them, saying, 
  ³  “Blessed are the poor in spirit, 
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
  ⁴  Blessed are those who mourn, 
for they shall be comforted.
  ⁵  Blessed are the gentle, 
for they shall inherit the earth.
  ⁶  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, 
for they shall be filled. 
  ⁷  Blessed are the merciful, 
for they shall obtain mercy. 
  ⁸  Blessed are the pure in heart, 
for they shall see God. 
  ⁹  Blessed are the peacemakers, 
for they shall be called children of God. 
  ¹⁰  Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, 
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Christians are to be like God, and Jesus tells us the attitudes to have. More than that, he defines those who have these attitudes as “Blessed”. Can a disbeliever, atheist or agnostic be described as “blessed? I think not; for without God, ultimately, there will be unhappiness because all human beings will eventually die, but not all human beings will be in heaven. Like the photo, everything works out in the end for those who truly follow God. Knowing this, if I were not a Christian, I would want to become one!
