I've been watching events unfold around the world. Especially in the Middle East, and I feel an urgency deep in my spirit that these are indeed the last days, even the last "minutes" of this age.
I just want to shout from the rooftops that time is running out!! Please don't risk your eternal soul!! Don't believe the lies of the enemy, and his minions!! God is calling out to the lost, those who are hurting deep inside, those who are ready to just give up, or who feel they cannot take another day.
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says:
28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
That doesn't mean that our lives will be carefree after we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. However, it does mean that He is always there with us, no matter what. Nothing can separate us from His love for us. As it is written in His Word--
Romans 8:38-39 says:
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Wow! What an unbreakable and abiding love He has for us!! Just as we are. We don't have to "clean ourselves up first" before He accepts us. He loves us just as we are at this very moment in time!
He loves us enough--as the sinners that we all are--that He gave His only Son to die for us.
And when we make that ultimate decision to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He is with us forever. For eternity. And the angels in Heaven rejoice!!
You may be asking, what happens "when I get saved"? You become a new creation in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
You may be thinking, "Well, then what do I do"? The most important thing is to buy a Bible, and start reading it every day. Even just a few minutes a day to start. God will reveal to you His understanding and wisdom in what you read. Reading your Bible is the way to get to know Him, and learn about Him.
Don't let anything distract you from learning about Him. This is how we start to grow as a Christian. We all start out as babes in Christ, and day by day we grow and mature. Our growth is not an instant process. Just like a baby learns to crawl, then walk, so do we grow as Christians. Each of us is at a different stage of growth.
It is up to us to keep growing, and learning. No one else can do it for us. But what a joyful journey it can be!! Eternal life!! WOW!! All the mysteries of the universe will be revealed to us in His time.
He calls to each of us, and He wants us to choose Him--today!
Not tomorrow, next week or next year. We are only guaranteed today. So what better time to choose Him?
Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Hold on to Him, its a glorious journey!! Amen!
