A MESSAGE OF REPENTANCE

God will not be near forever.

Everyone believes that they have time. They can put off that important task in face of good old fashioned living.

No need to worry about homework, it’ll still be there after some gaming and YouTube scrolling.

But Monday always comes. And if you didn’t do your work when you had the time, well then, you’re out of luck buddy.

This is exactly how it is when it comes to the salvation for your soul.

The world has dispensed the popular belief that you’ll always have time, and anything important or boring can be put off for later.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Whether you’re a believer or not, tomorrow is never confirmed. Today, as far as you know, may be your last day on earth.

Let that sink in for a bit.

Today may be the last time you see your family. It may be the last time tater your favorite food. It may be the last chance you have to repent of your sins.

Despite the popular saying, there is a time when it’s too late to do the right thing, and it’s after you die.

The Bible states that after a man dies comes the judgement is his soul. There will be no repentance, not any forgiveness. All will have been said and done, and the Lord will judge accordingly.

If you died tonight, will you make it to heaven? If you took your last breath tonight, will you be sure that you’ll wake up in the arms of Jesus?

Right now, you have an amazing opportunity, one that a majority of people all throughout history do not have. An opportunity to repent.

The window is open for you. Jesus is knocking at your door. The offer is yours for the taking. Now it’s up to you to take God up on it. It’s up to you to open the door of your heart to the Savior who desires it. It’s up to you to make your decision within this precious window of time.

The Lord’s grace won’t be on you forever. The Lord won’t let your sin carry on forever. He will bring his justice upon you. So take this opportunity that’s he’s giving to you. Repent while you still can.

This is not a post of condemnation, but of conviction.

The Holy Spirit is using me as an instrument to reach out to you, to tell you of your chance to repent. He’s urging you to take it before it’s too late.

Seek the Lord while he may be found, because sooner than we think, he won’t be, and we’ll all be handed the judgement of our actions.

Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

There is no Christianity without a cross. And there is no real repentance without sacrifice.

The Christian life is about the Lord bringing forth your full potential by the power of the Holy Spirit. But this cannot happen if you do not out to death your old self.

When becoming born again in Christ, your old self has died. It was nailed to the cross with Jesus, and put to death when our Lord drank from the cup of his Father’s wrath.

You are now a new creation in Christ, and being molded into his image via the power of the Spirit within you. But being given new life doesn’t mean freedom to do whatever you please. It actually means the opposite.

Becoming a Christian means to take up your cross, just like your Lord did 2,000 years ago, and surrendering yourself completely to the Father’s will. Jesus’ cross was living his entire life knowing that he was going to die on behalf of the world. Our crosses today may look different.

Maybe it’s an addiction that you’re called to quit. Maybe it’s persecution for the sake of the Lord. Maybe resisting temptation to stay faithful to your spouse.

Whatever the case, we all have our crosses to carry, and we can’t truly call ourselves followers of Christ if we do not pick them up. For doing so is our way of participating in the sufferings of our Lord.

Jesus was sent to experience everything that we would on this earth, and that includes taking up a cross in accordance with the Father’s will.

What’s your cross? Are you carrying it?

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

The following is a message straight from the mouth of God. I had nothing to do with the writing of this message:

Even before Christ roamed this Earth, I was already coming near.

I dwelt with Abraham before the birth of his son. I wrestled with Jacob before he was known as Israel.

I spoke to Moses face to face. As I was with Moses, so was I with Joshua.

My prophets encountered me in terrible and spectacular ways. I walked with Noah before the flooding of this world.

I rebuked Job with my own mouth. I conversed with David all his life. I called out, “Here I am” before my people, but they would not listen.

My word is near, my salvation is even closer to all who call upon me.

I have made my stance, the stance of a father calling his children home.

I am coming near once again, to take those who love me to be with me forever, and for all eternity.

I am coming near again, be ready.

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

The Christian message of repentance and sacrifice is not meant to be sugarcoated. And yet, too often, that is exactly what we focus on doing the most.

Instead of preaching the words of Jesus to a world that desperately needs to hear them, we hyper focus on how to make the message more digestible, and easier on the ears. Rather than the liberation of the soul, we turn our attention to the opinions and thoughts of those around us.

Christ’s message and teachings about the kingdom of God have survived for so long because they caught their listener’s attention, not just for the fact that the were words straight from the mouth of God.

Jesus’ words were convicting, challenging, not always what their listeners wanted to hear from the one who claimed to be the Messiah (as the Pharisees made clear). But Jesus wants interested in what those skeins him wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear.

Isn’t it a form of love to tell someone what they need to hear, instead of what they want to hear? If your loved one was living with somebody whom they loved, but also abused them, wouldn’t you tell them to get out while could?

God’s word is meant to save the lost. It’s meant to touch the deepest part of your soul, and demands a reaction from those who read it.

Christ had very little tolerance when it came to the twisting of the word of God. He made the Father’s stance on the topics he discussed crystal clear, with no room for misinterpretations.

Christ also cared little for what others thought of him. His said what had to be said, regardless of what others thought about him. He held onto his integrity even to the end. And as his disciples, we are called to have the same virtue.

If something is hard for you to hear, then chances are it’s what you need to hear the most.

Christ isn’t concerned with your comfortability, he’s concerned with the salvation of your soul. He’s rather you be uncomfortable for a bit than to for you to trade eternal comfortability for this world.

Don’t reject the hard teachings, embrace them, for they are the road that goes through right through heaven’s gates.

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

Colossians 2:13-15 NLT 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
