TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: ” For many are called but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14 ———- ” You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:37-39
TODAY’S MESSAGE: There are people in the world today that believe they can do all the things of the world, have fun, drink and be jolly and live lives that are not accounted for, and then at the last-minute, go to God and be forgiven and allowed into his Kingdom. The thoughts of those people are very dangerous. The Lord makes it very clear that it is not that easy to get through the pearly gates. He tells us in Matthew 22:14 that many are called but only a few are chosen. I would certainly not want to put my eternal life on the edge of this cliff and allow myself to be so close to hell. It is important that we train ourselves up in his Holy Word. We must consider what he wants of us and learn how to live our lives in such a way. If we are continually living in the world, it will not be easy to change our ways in a moment’s notice and suddenly be a what God wants us to be. We are to love the Lord with all of heart, mind and soul. We are to love God with every part of our being. This includes our emotions from our heart, our thoughts and understanding from our mind and the very essence of our spirit(soul). Because we are all born sinners it takes time to be able to change our ways. When we meet Christ Jesus on a personal level we invite him into our heart. We are giving up the ways of this world and entering into a contract with our God in heaven, by loving his son with every part of our existence. This does not mean that a person laying on the death bed cannot accept Christ and enter into his eternal Kingdom. This is quite possible. However, not everyone will have that opportunity. After living in the world for so long, many will have hardened hearts and will not be able to change in the last moments of their lives. We must remember the sacrifice Jesus made when he died on the cross. He did so, so that you and I would not have to. His sacrifice is greater than any we are asked to make. It is time today to get your ticket for your admission to the greatest event you will ever attend. It is time to meet Jesus on a personal level and assure yourself of eternal life. Jesus loves you and wants very much to enter your heart. Take the time, learn about his ways and then get as close to Jesus as you can. JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
