The past is past. – What now?  Why not Finish Strong?

 

In today’s Christian communities many are complacent in their ultimate destination and they neglect the importance of the journey.  In so doing, they are missing out on many of the here and now benefits of their adoption into the family of God.  The normal (not average) Christian is growing more like Jesus Christ as they continue their life on earth.  If you long to be a disciple who brings a smile to God’s face, this book is for you.

The Greatest Transaction

 ~ The Day Death Died ~

 

Two Deaths  ~  On Friday Jesus Christ died a physical death on the cruel Cross of Calvary.  But on Sunday Jesus Christ provided provision for the curse of spiritual death for those who believe. 

 

“Jesus said to her [Martha], ‘I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in Me, though he may die [physically], he shall live [spiritually].  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die [spiritually].  Do you believe this?’” (John 11:25-26).

 

Christians celebrate Easter because it is the day that death died! 

 

Physical death is not the end.  Each human being will spend eternity in either heaven with God or in hell with Satan and his angels.

 

Questions  ~  Where will you spend eternity?  Are you sure?  If not, I would point you to

Called by God, 1

 ~ The Universal Call To Salvation ~

 

Series Note  ~  In this set of postings we will look at the calling of God from three aspects.  First there is the Universal Call to all mankind for salvation.  Second there is the call that all Christians receive—the Obedience Call.  Finally, there is a call which all Christians receive, but sadly few accept, the Career Call. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?  Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.  If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?  No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God’” (John 3:10-21). 

 

Comment  ~  God offers the free gift of eternal life in heaven with Him.  However, like any other gift it must be presented, recognized, and accepted.  Do you understand the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Have you recognized Jesus Christ for who He is?  Finally, and most importantly have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?
