JESUS talks straight on sin:
John 8:24
King James Version
24 I said therefore unto you,
that ye shall die in your sins:
for if ye believe not that I am he,
ye shall die in your sins.
JESUS is not a diplomat.
He is a revolutionary.
He doesn't sugar-coat things.
He delivers whatever the FATHER told Him.
He told things the way they are.
About sin, and the wrath of GOD.
About the consequences of unbelief, and disobedience.
He knew what ailed us.
He reached out to as many as He could, in those three years of ministry.
He was not interested in living in palaces, or receiving accolade.
More often than not, He'd ask His disciples to "tell no man" of the miracles He performed.
He came to earth, for a mission:
Luke 19:10
King James Version
10 For the Son of man is come to seek
and to save that which was lost.
He ministers to our souls.
1 Peter 2:25
King James Version
25 For ye were as sheep going astray;
but are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls.
He did what GOD asked Him to do:
John 6:38-40
King James Version
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
He came to preparel us of the Rapture:
Matthew 24:38-42
King James Version
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
He came to tell us of the Tribulation:
Matthew 24:21
King James Version
21 For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world
to this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
He came to warn us:
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
If you become part of the RAPTURE, you will be saved from the Tribulation.
You can only become part of the Rapture, if you are born again.
A believer in CHRIST JESUS.
John 3:3
King James Version
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Acts 16:31
King James Version
31 And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
In the deepest recesses of your heart, you know what sin is.
Turn away from that now.
The future of the wicked is this:
TURN back to GOD, who waits for you each day.
2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version
14 If my people,
which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Heaven waits for your repentance.
Luke 15:7
King James Version
7 I say unto you,
that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons,
which need no repentance.
Trust not your own fallible wisdom.
Proverbs 3:7
King James Version
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes:
fear the Lord,
and depart from evil.
REPENT of your sins and TURN to JESUS now.
GOD gave Him power over EVERYTHING.
Matthew 10:28
King James Version
28 And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell.
It's time to turn away from sin.
FEAR the LORD, for He hates sin.
It has cost Him His beloved SON's life.
May we be all worth it.
Every day we're still on earth, is PURE GRACE.
GOD loves us all so much, He gave us all a FAIR chance at salvation.
Let us not stretch GOD's patience.
Believers feel it is getting thin, by now.
We must turn back to GOD now.
