It's Not Too Late!

How close are you to your family? Would you let them get Hurt or even Killed if you could stop it from happening? I'm sure that most of us would stop them from harm if we could. But do you realize that if you are a born again Christian and you are not trying to talk to your family about God, you are letting them continue on a path toward eternal hell! Now, I know that you don't want your loved ones to end up in hell for eternity. If they are saved and you are not, they feel the same way about you and your eternal destiny. What about all your friends and the people you know? Have you ever asked them if they are saved or not?

If we as Christians are not willing to spread the Word of God, then we are not doing what Jesus said. Jesus told the disciples to go into all of the world and teach them about Him. We are commissioned to spread the good news about Jesus and eternal life in Him. We can not count on someone else to do this job for us.
Matthew; 28:19-20
(Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen)
When God tells us that He will be with us, He means always. Not just for a little while, but He is there to strengthen us when we are weak and burdened down with the troubles of life.

We can sit back and just know that our destiny is secure in Jesus, or we can go to others and tell them about Jesus and what He has done for them. They can live forever if they give their life to Him now. Once we die down here there is no second chance to ask for forgiveness. We will have lost our only chance to be saved. We will have died without Jesus and eternal life in Heaven. Don't let someone tell you that you can still be saved because the Scriptures say you will have died in your sins and the wages of sin is death.
Romans; 6 :23
(For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
We deserve death, but God says that we can have eternal life. How do we get this eternal life? Only through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross in our place can we have eternal life. We will never be worthy and when we get to Heaven, if we haven't given our life to Jesus, we will be cast into the lake of fire. God will tell you that He never knew you. Your works without your faith in Jesus will mean nothing.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. You cannot work your way into Heaven.
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.)
Without the shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross, we would not have forgiveness of sins. We are brought near to God by Jesus' blood.
Ephesians; 2:13
(But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.)
We were separated from our God by our sins, but now we can have fellowship with Him because of the blood shed for our sins.

Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins today and ask Him to come into your life and save you. It's not to late for you, but don't wait until it is too late.

God Bless You!
