There is one message in the Bible, one central theme; Glorify God by love and obedience. That is true worship. There is one sermon in the Bible, the same one Noah preached, the prophets of old preached, the Apostles preached, and the Lord Jesus Christ preached; repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. We humans are prone to be disobedient to the only God of heaven and earth. As an entire race we have gone away from Him and can do NO good. He created us; He is God and King and the Father of us all. No amount of ignorance or disbelief can take away truth, and that is truth. No matter how much a man believes the sky is green it is still blue. You can't change truth. Another truth is that all men are separated from God. Separation from God includes separation from all benefits associated with God such as temporal blessings and special protection. But the most terrible tragedy is the loss of eternal life in heaven and the promise of eternal punishment in hell. This broken relationship with God is caused by sin; your personal sin. However, since God is merciful and loving He has granted provision for the restoration of this broken relationship; He has made a way to wipe our slate clean, take away all the sin in our life, and grant us eternal life in heaven. Jesus Christ is that way, and He is the only way. He took the punishment you deserve. Without Him you are condemned to eternal hell because of your sins. It is not because you haven't accepted Christ but because you are laden with sins that God must condemn. Let Jesus bare your load of sin. Though your sins be as red as scarlet Jesus will make you white as snow. Don't delay because we are not promised another day. James 4:14, "Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow; for what is your life? It is a even a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away." Life is short. Give your life to God through Christ today. Repent, turn away from your old way of life, and turn to Jesus for forgiveness.
People have noticed that I usually write only about one thing, and that is salvation. Well, when God puts it on my heart to write about something else I will; but until then, people are dying and being sent to eternity in fire and torment. Let me ask you, Christian, can you live with that? Can you live with the fact that the person you are sitting next to at work may one day be burning in fire eternally? Can you imagine a family member in torment forever? That's right - FOREVER. God have mercy on us for neglecting the salvation of souls.
