Fears From Within

Ebola, tornados, hurricanes, car wrecks, murder, cancer and disease, I could go on and on naming things that can take your life. These things strike fear and rightly so but what about your eternity? There is death, the end of your life but what about eternity? God has created both your body and your soul! One is but a vapor while the other is eternal! We spend a lot of time thinking on life and our human body that is wasting away day by day. But, what about the thing that really matters? Our soul, the part of us that God has created to live on in the eternity of Heaven or Hell, this is what should strike fear in the heart of man! Who will save man from eternal Hell? Christ Jesus by the command of God the Father! There are false gods, there are non believers, there are those who have never heard the name of Jesus and there are those who are still searching! Can we speak the gospel? Can we let the gospel do what God designed it to do? He gave the law to make us aware of our sin leading us to repent, obey and trust Christ for salvation! Theses fears from within can only be calmed by the Spirit of God Almighty! As we stand in faith that God is working, not understanding because His ways are not our ways but determined to be still and wait! Sin is man's downfall! It is much worse than any other life taking disaster. Repent while you have breath! Be assured that Christ has done what no other could. He paid the price you should have paid! Mercy He gave, taking your sin, nailing it to the cross, giving you eternal life through His blood! How will you respond?

Acts 10:
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,
40 but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,
41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

Is.66:4
I also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes and chose that in which I did not delight." 

John 5:
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hebrews 9:26
for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Col.2:
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Acts 4:
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

1 Tim.2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
