Did you thank God for waking up this morning? I did. Why? Because none of us are “given” tomorrow or even the rest of today. God gives us our time on Earth and He knows the number of those days…we don’t. No one is guaranteed to be alive tomorrow let alone next week or next month. That is one of the reasons that Jesus said that we are supposed to carry our cross each day we follow Him. We crucify our old self on that cross daily and walk beside Him. At least that’s what we are supposed to do if we have been born-again.
There are many people in America and around the world who attend church at least once or twice a month and they know about Jesus and His offer of salvation…yet they haven’t accepted Him as their Savior. The go through the motions and even read the Bible a little but they think they’re saved so why do they need Jesus? After all, they’ve bought into Satan’s lie: “You have plenty of time to do that later, you can wait until next month or even next year.”
So many people have done this until most of the polls show that the number of actual born-again Christians is probably around fifteen to eighteen percent of America rather than the seventy percent who believe in God. Satan knows and believes in God and Jesus too, he just won’t serve them. He knows they exist and that every word in the Bible is true but he won’t give his life to serve God.
John 3:16-17 says it all: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
I pray that whoever reads this will seek Him to know Him as their Lord and Savior. The world doesn’t have much more time regardless of what you hear on the “news” shows.
