What is this all about? Im an evangelist. It is my duty to reach the lost with the saving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I cant do it alone. All of the evangelist on the Earth today can not do it even if they were
together in one place. Our job, along with that of the apostles, prophets,
(evangelist), pastors and teachers cant either. It is our assignment to
equip the Church to accomplish the Great Commission.
You can read this for yourself in Matthews Gospel. Read the last chapter
and also the first chapter of the Book of Acts and you will see this is a
command of God. It is a command and not a suggestion!
And he who believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has
(now possesses) eternal life. But who ever disobeys (is unbelieving toward,
refuses to trust in, disregards, is not subject to) the Son will never see
(experience) life, but [instead] the wrath of God abides on him. [Gods
displeasure remains on him; His indignation hangs over him continually.]
John 3:36 Amplified Bible
Do you see what the Bible is telling us in very clear language? God is
never mocked. Anyone who refuses to receive Jesus will be cast from His
Presence forever. Millions of people go to Church each Sunday with
absolutely no intention of being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
A disciple is one who brings his or her life in submission to their Master. God is grieved
over the vast numbers of people who will miss the joy of His Presence forever and ever in Heaven.
The reason He has created us in His own image
is that we could call Him Father and He can call us sons and daughters. We
are not like the animals and other creatures.
Ask yourself this question
please if you claim to be a Christian. Am I living like a son or daughter
of the Living God? If you are born again of His Spirit why arent you?
Dont you know you have experienced redemption and salvation through a
saving faith in Jesus and His finished work at Calvary?
If you are a Christian in name only you have an excuse shared by many but
all of the excuses in the world will not allow you to escape His fiery wrath
which is to come. I dont enjoy telling you this but I must or I would be
failing Him who has called me as His servant. I can name large denominations that can not explain to you the simplicity of the born again
experience. They call themselves Christians and will look you straight in
the eye and tell you if you arent one of them you will be lost. They have
been deceived!
If you will look at John 1:12 you will see it is necessary to RECEIVE Jesus
as your Lord and Savior. "But to all who believed him and
accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God."
To simply say I believe in Jesus and I have been
baptized is not enough. Dont you know the devil believes in Jesus?
We
must actually allow the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts by receiving the
breath of the Lord Jesus Christ. When you hear the full Gospel and have
come under conviction by the Holy Spirit you are looking for a Savior. There is only One. No one but Jesus has died for the sins of the whole
world. No one but Jesus has shed His Blood from the cross at Calvary. No
one but Jesus could have paid the penalty for our combined trillions of sins. God sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus to accomplish this so that we
could escape the coming judgment.
Jesus said, I Am the Way the Truth and
the Life, no man comes unto the Father but by Me. Do you believe Him? If
so, are you falling to your knees now as you read this?
Vast numbers of preachers will face judgment from Almighty God for watering
down the Gospel. If you have read the Gospel you know that Jesus didnt call
us into a religious club or association. He has called us into His Own Body. We are to assemble for the purpose of continuing His powerful
ministry. He said, if you abide in Me and my Words abide in you ask and it
shall be done for you. He also said, the things I do, you will do and
even greater things shall you do that the Father may be glorified in the
Son. Tell me when is the last time you saw the things of Jesus being done
in your Church.
A fine man of God told me recently, you can preach healing in most Churches
as long as you dont expect anyone to be healed. He should know. He was
healed of cancer and since then has been used of God to bring healing to
others. He has spoken in over 200 churches and has been teaching Sunday
school at a large Baptist Church where the above is the case.
Can you believe this? It is true! Gods people dont walk their talk most of the
time. What about you? Are you a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you
believe what He has said? Are you making a daily commitment of your life to
be His witness? If you are you have a wonderful future before you.
If on the other hand you are an agnostic, many Christians are, then what do
you expect God to say to you on Judgment Day? Well done My good and faithful servant, enter now into the joy of your Master? You can forget it. The Bible is true, all of it. And, you and I and everybody else on this
planet better believe it too. If you do believe it, will you make a commitment to God right now to change your ways (repent) and do His will? I
hope thousands after reading this now will. What if you refuse? Can God
save you? Yes He can, but He wont, because He said He wouldnt. God
always keeps His Word, for good and for bad. Please teach this to your children if you have any.
The Bible says this world will disappear in a flash one day. Then, God will
create a new Earth and new heavens. The Holy City we will live in is
already made. In Revelations 21 it is called the New Jerusalem. This is
where we will live. It is 1500 miles cubed in size. There is a wall around it 216 feet high. There are 12 gates of clear pearl set in these walls, three on each side. There is no need of a sun or moon as God Himself is there. He is Light. No one will ever hunger, suffer, cry or ever be in need there. We will live as Gods own family. Millions and millions
of angels will be about us along with the Heavenly Host continually worshipping
God. We will too!
We will live in such splendor and joy that our earthly bodies could not bear
it. In our new bodies God will give us opportunities to serve Him in the
Cosmos. We will never be older than about thirty. Our bodies will be perfect
in every way. Our loved ones will always be there without the threat of ever losing them. Isnt this wonderful? I could go on and on but
I think you are getting the picture.
It is our duty as Gods adopted children (born again of the Spirit of Jesus)
to take this Good News (Gospel) to the majority who are without hope. If
you love Jesus this is something you automatically want to do. His Spirit
within you compels you to look with Gods sympathy upon them. One of my
favorite verses says about Jesus, He was moved with compassion. Shouldnt
we too be moved by compassion when we see people in grave danger of spending
eternity in Hell?
