For The Time Is Come...

1 Peter 4:17 (KJV) - "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"

If any of you are believers, always keep this in mind.  Judgment must come FIRST to the house of God, and if we are not walking completely and properly in the ways of Christ our Savior, how hard will that judgment ultimately be?  Walk rightly before Him and He will protect you through even the worst of trials.  Walk wrongly and...well, I'm sure you can figure that part out.  Either way, if you're not walking rightly and holy before God, it won't end well.  If you're NOT a follower or believer in Christ, you're next on the list and it'll end a whole lot worse for you than the believer.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

That might sound a bit cruel to some, but it's the cold, hard truth.  God didn't send His Son to die for you just to have you reject Him and live your own life however you want it, steeped in sin and defiant of His laws and the incredible, wonderful gift that He gave you.  Why did He do this?  Obviously because He loves you, but also to save you from Hell.  God doesn't send people to Hell.  They go there of their own free will.  Hell is a place of torment and suffering apart from God.  If you want nothing to do with God in this life, God will gladly oblige you in the next.

But where there is no God, there is no love.  Where there is no God there is no light, nor joy, nor peace, nor happiness, friendship, or none of the good things in this world.  Hell is a place completely absent of God.  But it is also a place of incredible torment and suffering.  Why?  Because that is where all things evil go, all things dark and fearful, painful and cruel, without love, without joy, without light, without friendship, without peace.

So why would we go there if we do not accept Christ's gift of salvation and believe in Him and accept His free gift?  God is indeed love and He is indeed just, but to be righteous and just it means He must in turn punish us for the many multitudes of sins we commit against Him, every hour, every day, every year.

Romans 3:10 (KJV) - "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

Time is running out friend.  If you're not a saved, born again believer in Jesus Christ, things are about to become literally Hell on Earth.

Luke 21:26 (KJV) - "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

The Tribulation is coming, the Anti-Christ, darkness, demons, death, disease, hardship, starvation, and so many worse things than I can describe.  But if you are a child of God, no matter what may come against you, God will protect you, and you have nothing to fear.  Don't mess around, my friend.  Turn to Jesus now while He can still be found.  If you wish to know the full steps to be saved, if you wish to know Jesus and become a saved, redeemed one of His, read and understand these two verses, then pray the prayer given below.

Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: That while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:9-10: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Now, if you wish to receive Christ, pray this simple prayer.  I won't give you the words to say as this needs to be more than just words.  This needs to be an honest, heart felt, legitimate, truthful prayer.  You can't just get "fire insurance" by praying a bunch of words.  You must REALLY, REALLY want Christ to come into your heart and life and save you.  This isn't magic, and it's not a religion.  It's a relationship with the savior and creator of the entire universe, including you.

Now pray this in your old words.  Begin by confessing to God that you are a sinner and acknowledge your sins and that you know you're a sinner deserving of Hell who is in need of salvation.  Then heartfeltly and honestly repent (ie, turn away) from all of your sins and then ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life, to save you, and to make you His child.  If you've prayed this prayer, then praise God!  If not, then I strongly advise you to reconsider your decision and this very day choose Christ.

If you're still not certain and you have questions or doubts, I'm always available and willing to answer or address any questions or concerns that you have.  All you need do is ask.  If I'm unable to answer them, then turn to the one with all the answers and speak with God Himself and He will show you what you need to know.  And know this, I am not trying to beat up on you or make you feel bad.  I'm trying to save you from a fate most horrible.  Why?  Well, ask you this.

If I knew that you would die tomorrow and there was a cure available that could keep that from happening, and I said nothing, would I not be wrong in doing that?  If I knew a way to save your life and did nothing, then your blood would be on my hands no different than if I'd killed you myself.  But if I say something and you reject it, then your blood is on your own head, and I am clean.  You're welcome to disbelieve me all you wish, but I refuse to stand before God knowing that I said nothing.  So please, if you still haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, I plead with you now to at least give God five minutes of your life, and I guarantee you will be eternally grateful you did.
