There are so many things that are happening all over the world. In Asia, America, Israel and everywhere it seems, there is so much happening everywhere and the world seems to be ignoring a lot of it. Even the floods that happened in North Carolina have been ignored now that fires have destroyed so much of California. In North Carolina there were many houses destroyed and thousands who died but after a couple of weeks, this “news story” was pushed aside.
Why do the networks push aside stories so quickly? Likely because the new stories are more interesting, some because they are in California and near Hollywood. Flooding in the mountains of North Carolina doesn’t grab people’s attention like fires burning through cities in California.
These are just a couple of the news stories out there but you can tell how the news is decided. Why am I bringing this up on my website? Because there are many millions of Christians who are being tortured and killed in countries that don’t like Christians and we never hear about it either. We are living at the “end of the age”, the Church age, and life is getting harder to understand. Much of what we see depicted as “normal” today is not normal at all. God’s Word tells us that the world around us would become more like the world was when Noah built the Ark before the floods and it has become that way.
Read the sixth chapter of Genesis and then the 24th chapter of Matthew. The Lord describes much of what is happening today and He does it from 2,000 years ago. He is God the Son after all. My point is that we should be looking into eternity and where we will spend it. If you believe in Jesus as your Savior then your eternal home will be in Heaven. If you refuse to believe in Him for your Salvation and think that you can work your way into Heaven, your eternal home will be in hell. Take your pick.
Before you come to know Jesus as your Savior, you are dead toward God. You are not seeking His favor nor His love or forgiveness…but you usually have a hollow feeling that tells you that Someone is missing. Something is missing but you don’t know what.
You are dead without Jesus in your life. The apostle Paul wrote this to the Ephesian church to let them know that they were dead toward God but they became alive in Christ when they accepted Jesus as their Savior. God loved us so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to pay the price for all of our sins and give us the gift of eternity with Him if we will only accept Him as our Savior.
When you feel the Holy Spirit’s touch on your heart and you resist it and walk away you are risking a death that will take you before God without Jesus as your Savior. Eternity is and will be a very long existence for you without Jesus because you will not be in Heaven with Him. God created hell to punish the angels who rebelled with Satan against God, it was not made for us but it will be your destination if you turn away from Him when you feel His call in your life. Don’t walk away from Jesus when you know you need Him.
