Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:9-10 NIV
We must grieve and mourn over our sinful nature. We on our own cannot stand before God. We need an intercessor, Christ Jesus. We must understand that, on our own, we fall far short of God’s desires. But, with Christ, we are pleasing in the eye of God. Our laughter over our days of living in sin must be replaced by days of mourning over that which we had done. The joy that we had found in earthly treasures is replaced by gloom, knowing that our earthly treasures can provide nothing toward our eternal destiny. No earthly treasures accompany the soul when it departs from the passed away body.
Yes, when we turn to Christ, we must turn in humility, for there is nothing within us that warrants an eternity with God. We were born into sin, and are enslaved by it until we humbly turn to Christ. No one can boast of anything, for all that we have has been given to us by God.
God’s eternal plan for those who believe in Christ is a free gift, given lovingly by a Father who wishes for us to be with Him forever. Do not turn away from that which He offers. You do not know the all of that which awaits the one who belongs to Christ.
