A Place For Us All!
A fantastic song from a fantastic movie (Jesus Revolution - a favorite!): Living Water by Anne Wilson
As she rightly sings, "He paid every sinner's price!"
And so "every outcast, every wrong-way, runaway rebel" - no matter who you are or where you've been - can come on down to the Living Water and find hope, healing, and eternal life in Jesus.
No one is hopeless. No one is too far gone. No one is destined for hell.
There's a place for us all in God's family. All of us are able to and welcome to freely accept the gift of eternal life, paid for by Jesus's death for us all.
“For God so loved the world that he sent his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3:16-17)
"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ, who gave himself as a ransom for all men ..." (1 Timothy 2:3-6)
Don't pass up this opportunity, this free gift. There is no other way to heaven.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)
But that's the good news!
Because you don't have to do anything to get to heaven but believe. You don't have to struggle to work your way to heaven, because God's done all the work for you. Jesus paid the price for you - all of you! - and all you have to do is open your hands and accept it.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
“if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.... ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Romans 10:9-10,13)
I'm not sure how much time we have left before God ends the Church age (the "salvation by grace through faith" age) and begins His "end times" plans, but I think we're living on borrowed time. So don't wait. Make your decision now.
"So if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve ... But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord!" (Joshua 24:15)
"The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!'... Whoever is thirst, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." (Rev. 22:17)
Bonus: A few "end times" songs (which will either be encouraging or terrifying, depending on where you're headed):
(FYI: When Jesus comes back, I'm going with Him. And so if the rapture happens sometime this year, don't be surprised if new posts keep popping up on this website. It wouldn't mean I'm here, just that they're already on the schedule to be posted automatically over the next few months.
"Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!")
