"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
~I Corinth 15:51-52~
Often when God does something, it's very sudden. And certainly our life can change or end in the twinkling of an eye. How prepared are you to face eternity, to face the Lord?
Many in our church came to the startling reality they were not prepared. About 15 souls have surrendered their life to Jesus in the last month. Several of these thought they were saved at a younger age but did not have the peace or assurance to " know" if they died, that they would meet Jesus in heaven.
Bro. Michael Baker preached a dynamic message Sunday morning: "There's No Such Thing As a Casual Christian". The defination of a casual Christian is :
"one who would like to please God, however also wants to please the would & self; they try to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of the world so they can have the best of both worlds; they only come to church when it's convenient or there is nothing else going on; they are mostly committed to self. Their life reflects the world". . .
Then he gave the defination of a commited Christian:"One who's life is centered in Christ& His kingdom's work; their faith defines every area of their life & who they are. Their life reflects Christ consistantly to those around them"
Wow . . .which one of these define you?
Bro. Baker went on to say: I believe casual Christians are lost & bound for hell, & don't even know it.
1 John 5:12-13 says:
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. "
You can know for certain, you don' t have to live in doubt & wonder & fear. The day will come that your life will suddenly end. Don't delay. Settle this with Christ today.
