Where do we play music? For what purpose do we play music? What’s the reason for music? In this article, I share the reason I play the guitar.
Music is a gift from God and should always be used to glorify Him. He blesses us with many things like food, water, & shelter. He has also given us ears to hear good music & sight to watch YouTube videos, etc. However, we don’t glorify Him. Most people see themselves as “good”, but the Bible says that “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory God.” (Romans 3:23) Why? What is sin?
Sin is breaking God’s laws (1 John 3:4): the Ten Commandments. Let’s look at just a few Commandments to see how you are doing. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything (regardless of the value)? Have you ever looked at someone with lust? Have you ever used God’s name in vain (as a cuss word, or an exclamation)? This is blasphemy, God, the righteous Judge of the entire universe, will judge those who break His law, and the penalty is an eternity in hell, His prison. However, the Good News is that God wants to show mercy to us lawbreakers. God came to earth, in the person of Jesus Christ, was tempted in all ways yet was without sin, and died on the cross to pay our penalty. You and I broke God’s law, Jesus paid our fine, and He rose on the third day to show that He was God.
Now God commands everyone, everywhere to repent, turn from our sins, turn to Him, and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior. He will give you a new heart and place His Spirit within you and when you die, He will bring you into Heaven to be with Him for eternity.
