This morning's sermon was about the Lake of Fire. See Revelation 20:1-15. I don't know about you, but this is one place I don't want to go! And none of us HAVE to, if we accept Jesus as our savior !! This is GOOD NEWS! As long as we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and believe in our hearts that He died on the cross for our sins, our names will go into the Book of Life and we won't go to that Lake of Fire.
I know a lot of people that say that they're good people...or that they've done a lot of good things. Sorry...that doesn't cut it. Yes, those works help...but only in the level of the Lake that you'll be thrown!
If you're still not certain that you want to 'go there' and confess your sins, consider this...God also judges us on what we THINK, as well as what we do!!! I don't know about you, but that made me BEG His forgiveness the very second I heard that!!
Jesus died on the cross so that WE would have life...with HIM! But first we must ask His forgiveness. Then we must strive to do better. It ain't gonna work if you just say "forgive me" and then go on to do what it is you've been doing in sin.
True Christian faith results in loving behavior...the way we act can give us assurance that we belong to Christ! (Or what you're doing could look like you're headed to that said Lake!) What you have in your heart and not your bank account matters to God and endures for eternity!
Won't you accept Him as your Savior? If you already have, continue to praise and thank Him! I by know means am a Bible Scholar ... but if any of you have questions, I'll be glad to answer or find the answer! I want to see my family and friends in Eternity. I can't even fathom the thought of anyone I know being in the Lake of Fire!
Everyone in my life, who has touched me in one way or another, is always in my prayers. I hope I see you in Eternity! Jesus loves you and so do I!!
Melvin....you KNOW me and the heat have never gotten along...so I sure KNOW where I am going. LOLLLL I will be up there at the buffet table on the beach...(I can only hope!) LOL LOVED this!!! Keep them coming please!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis was fantastic. I too thank God I'm not going there, only because of what Jesus did for me...not by what I do. Love ya sister in Him.
