Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; …

 

Much better life after knowing who Jesus is and what He did for us:)   The peace He gives us is for real where would we be without the Lord?

 

Jesus came to set the captives free!!!!!!!!  I'm am very happy and free in the Lord         I'm a child of the King                        

We can have all the fun in life we want ....

[angels4u]

I don't think so. Even Jesus went to a wedding for no other reason then to go. I think, though, that while God allows us to go out and have fun-but He also expects us to glorify Him with everything that we do-whether it be having a BBQ at a friends house, shooting clay pigeons at the range, or a nice weekend of fishing we should let His love shine through-we should invite Christ to come have fun with us.

Are you still eating fruit loops and hiding in your tree house?

[The_Patriot21]

yes. and its fun. my tree house has free wifi. and no, Im not sharing.

[Bienvenue]

Of course not, we can still have fun. God wants us all to be happy after all, but we still need to follow God's law and listen to God. 

[missmuffet]

yes. and its fun. my tree house has free wifi. and no, Im not sharing.

 Well,then I will just take my doll house and go home.

[ayin jade]

I have a lot of fun. What has changed is what I see as fun. I dont see drunkenness as fun. I dont see sin as fun. He has changed me so that what I enjoy now is not sinful. 

[Openly Curious]

If so then alot of Christians are missing out on God's prescription.  For scripture declares that laughter doeth good as a medicine.

There is a renewing of mind ...

Rom 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
NKJV
Fun is now redefined for what will bring glory to God for we know

that in the time we are in-

2 Tim 3:2-6
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without

self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure

rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from

such people turn away!
NKJV

Here is why God does not throw away that of value!

1 Cor 7:29-31

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have

wives should be as though they had none, 30 those who weep as though they did not

weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they

did not possess, 31 and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this

world is passing away
NKJV

God puts it into a uniform reasoning-

2 Peter 3:10-13

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass

away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and

the works that are in it will be burned up.  11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved,

what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and

hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved,

being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according

to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
NKJV
