Each
of us has been given by God this natural life
For
one purpose alone; To choose LIFE or Death;
Everything
else in this natural life is insignificant by comparison.
LIFE,
being that found in Christ Jesus; in God, alone;
That
is Eternal LIFE, LIFE that lasts for all Eternity.
This
is Christ Jesus living in and through us in the here and now,
As
well as for all Eternity.
This
LIFE begins with our responding to the still small voice of of God
Speaking
to our heart and our saying yes to His voice by faith;
Receiving
God's Christ, Jesus as our Savior, the only Savior;
Confessing
with our mouth that Jesus is Lord,
And
believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead;
Applying
the blood of Christ to our lives for the cleansing of our sin;
Being
water baptized signifying the death and burial of our old self
And
being resurrected into a new LIFE in Christ;
Being
“Born Again” by the Spirit of God;
Waiting
for and receiving our “Personal Day of Pentecost;”
Being
immersed, baptized, in the Spirit of God;
Receiving
the Anointing from the Anointed One, Christ Jesus
And
continually drinking the Living Water from the Fountain of LIFE,
Which is Christ Jesus.
Death
on the other hand is the absence of the LIFE of Christ Jesus;
It
is remaining in the condemned state of being
We
were born into,
And
then at the end of this natural life, spending Eternity in Hell.
God
Almighty spoke to the Israelites:
Now
what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you
Or
beyond your reach.
It
is not up in Heaven, so that you have to ask,
'Who
will ascend into Heaven to get it and proclaim it to us
So
we may obey it?'
No,
the word is very near you;
It
is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
See,
I set before you today LIFE
and prosperity,
Death
and destruction
For
I command you today to love the Lord your God,
To
walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, decrees and laws;
Then
you will live and increase,
And
the Lord your God will bless you in the land
You
are entering to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16)
This
day I call Heaven and earth as witnesses against you
That
I have set before you LIFE
and Death,
blessings and curses.
Now
choose LIFE, so that you and your children may live
And
that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice,
And
hold fast to him.
For
the Lord is your LIFE,
And
he will give you many years in the land he swore to give
To
your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)
Today,
the God of Creation
Sets
before every living person LIFE and Death;
LIFE
and Death are set before every nation.
Every
person and every nation chooses LIFE or Death.
Not
to choose is as effective as to choose.
At
the end of this brief life
God
alone decides by His perfect knowledge who lives and who dies.
He
alone knows the heart of every living person and every nation.
Those
who choose LIFE choose Christ Jesus the only WAY to LIFE;
They
choose to live in the Kingdom of God.
All
others choose the kingdom of this world, Satan's kingdom,
And
the Lake of Fire God has prepared for him.
My
prayer is that all who read this message will choose LIFE.
This
world in its present form is passing away; it is almost gone;
It
is raging against God; rushing to oblivion!
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
