There Is A Man Facing Death

Heb.9:27 

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment

God is patient with man and his rebellion. He withholds judgement while we ignore the gift of salvation. He places loving people within man's path who believe that Christ is able to save their souls from eternal damnation, so they can hear the gospel. Man responds by glorifying God for His gift of Jesus or he ignores the gift. There is no in between, no other choice by which man is redeemed! Your soul was designed by God as an eternal spirit. God meant it to return to Him for all eternity. The beginning sin of man in the garden of Eden and the sin that remains today changed that! God gives man freedom of choice! With choices come consequences, this we are taught from childhood. Ignoring salvation comes with an eternal consequence, eternal suffering in Hell. We can present the gospel, which is our mission here on Earth, but only God calls you to repentance and only He, in mercy, can change your heart and your sinful life! There is a man, a brother of family member, who lays in his bed dying of cancer. He does not believe in the saving power of Christ! He will die lost, eternally sentenced to Hell. Why? How can this be? God is loving! It is because God hates sin! He sent Christ to atone for sinful man! Christ is the only way for God's forgiveness. For sinful man is eternally lost without the blood sacrifice of One who is worthy to satisfy God's wrath against sin! Christ alone, by faith alone! What is your choice? Are you the one who is devoted to destruction because of the lack of faith, that Christ indeed, can atone for your sin or will you humbly ask God's Son for hope and mercy that comes only from the blood of His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection? I will be praying that God will awaken your soul to the truth that is found in His Word.

Lord, I humbly ask for souls to be shaken awake. Time is short, there will be judgement, Christ is our hope! Amen

God's patience toward sinful man...

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
1 Timothy 2:4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
2 Peter 1:4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

Man's soul...

Ecc.12:7

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.

John 5:28-29

28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 

29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

1 Corinthians 15:53

For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

Christ sufficiency...

Heb.10:12

But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God

Hebrews 10:10 

And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrews 9:14 

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

Hebrews 7:27 

Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself

1 Tim.2:5

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Acts 4:12 

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

1 Corinthians 8:6 

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

Hebrews 9:15 

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant
