Excerpt from God’s simple solution
We who live on earth are on the brink of disaster. We are about to die, and be forever lost in the universe. THAT is the plight predicament of man, according to the Bible Hebrews 9:27.
Earth is one big, life-long testing ground – Deuteronomy 13:1-3. You who are without Christ – test to see if you will come to Christ. You who have become Christians – test to know for sure your faithfulness to God – 2 Corinthians 13:5.
* We who are about to die without Christ, will exist for eternity without the goodness of God. That is called Hell. One hell of a place you want to avoid.
* We who are about to die in Christ will simply be passing on through to the other side called Heaven. Bliss forever with God. Best choice.

What is keeping you from yielding to God? What is so appealing about “your way”? Earth life is a great big test. You may wish to know how you’re doing with it – before the test ends so read the Bible!

Jesus Christ is in you—
unless indeed
you fail the test
and are rejected
as counterfeit
– 2 Corinthians 13:5
“testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and all your soul [your entire being].”
– Deuteronomy 13:1-3 NASB
“So produce fruit that is consistent with repentance [demonstrating new behavior that proves a change of heart, and a conscious decision to turn away from sin]”
– Matthew 3:8
The ultra extreme unresolvable horror upon arrival for God’s condemnation
The many hardhearted mind closed Excerpt:
…so many hardhearted
they live with hard rock heart
mind closed to Jesus’ Words
how can they claim “Christian”
no inkling of disaster
no clue of future woe
the horror will surprise them
that coming judgement day….

Solving Hell Excerpt: Jesus solved the damning factor that resulted from sin. He did this by dying on the cross for all of it John 3:16-18. THAT is what that was all about. Sin caused Hell as a result. Salvation is what God did about it.
God’s simple solution…was to solve Hell. Excerpt: We who live on earth are on the brink of disaster. We are about to die, and be forever lost in the universe. That is the plight predicament of man, according to the Bible.
Thankfully, Jesus has the solution. What is needed? God is telling us very clearly that we need to agree with Him. Have you?
We must not reject His plan of the Ages. After all, He created us and knows what is what. Do you?
Jesus said to him,
“I am
the [only] Way [to God]
and the [real] Truth
and the [real] Life;
no one
comes to the Father
but through Me.
– John 14:6
Even if you die, you will live
Oh immeasureable joy of arrival
What joy and exhilaration soon
Be full of joy – because of this…
Gird up your mind and be ready!
I’ve got that peace that passes understanding
Being faithful, little by little Excerpt:
What drives you, day by day, to do the things you do, to act the way you choose to act?
Those who are faithful to Christ – are not faithful all-at-once, and faultless thereafter. Those who are faithful to the end – are faithful over time, little-by-little.
Faithfulness is a process. We live, we try, we fail, we sin – but the faithful then repent, turn to God again, and move on in faith, believing God that we will be stronger next time. Philippians 3:12-15 The faithful develop a pattern of an overcoming faith. The pattern we strive towards, each day, is: we live, we conquer, we act by the power of the Holy Spirit. Believers do not accept sin in their life as normal and acceptable before God.
“We live, we try, we fail, we sin
– but the faithful then repent,
turn to God again
and move on in faith
believing God
that we will be
stronger next time.”
“The pattern we strive towards,
each day, is:
we live, we conquer,
we act
by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

“…forgetting what lies behind
and reaching forward
to what lies ahead….”
– Philippians 3:12-15
Philippians 3:12-15 AMP *marked up by editor
12 Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect,
but I actively press on [a]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. 13 [b]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do:
forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.
“All of us who are mature
[pursuing spiritual perfection]
should have this attitude”
I run to win! Christ did. Do you?…are you in it to win it?
Staying Alive Excerpt: The faithful have a faith that is staying alive day by day.
God’s fantastic home – for those who follow Him
My salvation is “beyond the reach of change”
I am almost perfect Excerpt: Soon Jesus will return – and then, I will be perfect. I will be perfect at last! I will say,
“Thank God I’m perfect at last!”
Be found by Him spotless and blameless, in peace
What you think and practice as compared with what Jesus thinks
Contemplate this Excerpt: Contemplate arriving in sin – before Almighty, Holy, God.
At death we put on immortality…we exchange the mortal for the immortal –1 Corinthians 15:50-53
Oh haunting fear of death be gone
Death was just a doorway | by Andree Seu Peterson | In the moment… We can always find a reason to put off serving the Lord | World Magazine | Post Date: December 03, 2019 – Issue Date: December 28, 2019.
Me when I die, forgiven…in Christ
Heaven is going to be like this
–1 Corinthians 15:50-53 *a prediction of the Rapture
50 Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does [a]the perishable inherit [b]the imperishable.
51 Behold, I am telling you a [c]mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised [d]imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this [e]perishable must put on [f]the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
Earn your wages of death -or- Freely receive God’s gift of eternal life
We know what Jesus believes. Do you agree with Him?
Being tested to know for sure your faithfulness to God
Agreeing with God Excerpt: Salvation is one sinner agreeing with God that he needs a Savior, calling on Jesus to forgive him, and following His Way all the way, no holding back. Anything less is just religion.
What Jesus gives to sinners like me and you
What’s your problem? – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Swift’s Amped-up Paraphrase of the Bible
Excerpt: What is keeping you from yielding to God? What is it about “your way” that is so appealing?
Slowly becoming less and less Excerpt: And so it is with those who reject Jesus. They continue on in unbelief, and little by little those un-noticed little things harden. Rejection embeds.
Scripture says that some rejectors of Christ will eventually go dark. They will fail themselves into an inextractable unbeliefism so deep that they just never recover. God gives them over to their sin. God eventually gives a free rein. Their slavery is absolute (verse 16 of Romans 6).
Caught-up with a practice God has said not to practice?
Pleasure and bad behaviors we love to fall for
Living through our tunnel of sorrows
Letting It Reign Until Hell Is Home
About past sins and being forgiven now Excerpt:
The very clear message of Christ is
that sinners can be changed
when they repent with sincerity and truth,
choosing to become God’s true followers.
You can have all your sinful past forgiven by God,
and be totally accepted into His Forever Family
immediately, both here on earth now –
and in heaven where we are declared forgiven in His Courts.
When you turn from your sinfulness
(true “repentance”),
and turn to Christ for His forgiveness
(“accept Christ” and His ways),
He then recreates you in that instant
– and you become “born again”.
Regarding the sinning in your past, you may struggle and fail from time to time in your weakness, but the truly born again will not accept that sinfulness as okay anymore.
