TODAY'S PROMISE

"Seek the LORD while you can find him.

Call on him now while he is near.

Let the wicked change their ways

and banish the very thought of doing 

wrong.  Let them turn to the LORD that

 he may have mercy on them.

Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive

generously."  

(Isaiah 55:6,7 NLT)  

YOUR RESURRECTION

We have just finished celebrating the resurrection of 

Christ.  He not only died for us, but after three days

in the tomb he came back to life - or was resurrected -

NEVER TO DIE AGAIN.

Did you know that after you die, you too will be 

resurrected.  The Scriptures clearly teach us:

"... that there shall certainly be a resurrection

of both the righteous and the wicked."

(Acts 24:15 NASB)

They further teach us that it consists of a first and 

a second resurrection.  The first one is the resurrection

of the righteous.  These are the people who are in a

relationship with Jesus Christ.  And they will be raised

from the dead to live for ever and ever with Jesus Christ.

[The rapture and judgement are not a part of our discussion

right now.]

And the second resurrection is the one for the wicked.

But instead of living for ever with God, they will be

given an eternal death sentence away from the presence

of God in a place of eternal torment.

My point is this.

Christ's tomb is empty because he was raised to life

so that we to can be raised to life with him at our

resurrection if we have a relationship with Christ. 

I can rejoice over Christ's resurrection making possible

 my coming resurrection after this old body dies someday.

LACKING PEACE?

"But the wicked are like the tossing sea,

For it cannot be quiet,

And its waters toss up refuse and mud.

There is no peace, 'says my God, for the wicked."

(Isaiah 57:20,21 NASB)  

The "righteous" often have trials and tests.

But God gives them peace in the midst of 

the problems.

But if we are faced with the storms of life,

and have no peace, it is time to examine our

relationship to God almighty.

LIMITED TIME OFFER

It is true that God loves everyone in the world.

It is true that God does not want anyone to die

and go to the Devil's hell.  It is true that God has

provided a way of escape from an eternal death

through Jesus Christ's atoning death for us.  IF

WE WILL TURN TO HIM AND ACCEPT IT.

It is also true that God tries to draw us to him

time after time after time through one means

or another through out most of our life.  BUT

EVEN GOD HAS A LIMIT.

He said;

                   

"My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, ..."

(Genesis 6:3 NASB)

God further said;

"Seek the LORD while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

An let him return to the LORD,

And He will have compassion on him,

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon."

(Isaiah 55:6,7 NASB)   

"I the LORD GOD,  don't like to see

wicked people die.  I enjoy seeing them

turn from their sins and live."

(Ezekiel 18:23 GNT)  

Have you taken advantage of His offer?

Or are you still ignoring it?

TODAY'S PROMISE

"The fear of the LORD prolongs life,

But the years of the wicked will be

shortened."

(Proverbs 10:27 NASB)  

GOD'S CALL

"Turn to the LORD and pray to him,
now that he is near.
Let the wicked leave their way of life
and change their way of thinking.
Let them turn to the LORD our God;
he is merciful and quick to forgive."
(Isaiah 55:6,7 GNT)
