They are many in number!
They come from all walks of life!
Rich men, poor men, wounded in spirit, and some with broken bodies but they all have a common trait!
They worship a risen Savior, Christ the Lord!!
Some we are blessed to know!
Others we will only meet in Heaven!
While all WERE born sinners, most of us come from loving parents that taught respect and the consequence of a sinful life!
While others come from a background of challenge, from an insurmountable amount of sin all around them and the truth be told, if we had walked in their shoes, we could have very well crumbled under the weight of sin!
Praises and shouts of worship to a merciful Most High God for the gift of unmerited grace and the blessing we received through Christ for the forgiveness of sin!
I'm saying this to say, every once in a while there comes along a man, just a good ole country boy, who never missed an opportunity to speak of the love Christ showed sinful man and the effect it will have on his eternity!!!
His mission was to tell you and I that without Christ, we are doomed to Hell for eternity!
The man of whom I speak died last week!
As with all Christ followers, he wanted no accolades!
He lived his life knowing praise and worship only belongs to God for He alone is worthy!!!
He lived life TOTALLY resting on Christ for salvation!!
His family and friends mourn his passing but we know by his repeated words of faith that salvation comes through the blood of Christ alone!!!
Friend, did know that Christ is pursuing you?
He died for you!!
Grace and faith are marvelous gifts that should not be ignored!!
Where you spend eternity depends on it!!
Bow before the blood stained Cross of Christ for salvation, regeneration, forgiveness, restoration, and redemption!!!
Be that person who is assured that the last breath here on Earth will be followed by your first breath in the presence of our sweet Savior, Jesus!!!
Hallelujah, our God reigns forever!!!
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. - Romans 10:12-17
Lord, speak to the hearts of those who are not searching for You, forgive them, open their eyes to hope that comes from Christ alone. Amen
