Do you know Him?
The very clearly delineated message of salvation from Jesus Himself, the Gatekeeper to Heaven, is: “deny himself…”, express “a willingness to endure whatever may come”, and “follow Me” – which means “believing in Me, conforming to My example in living”. It’s free. It’s simple. But it will cost you.
We do not “stay saved” by holding on desperately to His Hand, careful not to fall into Hell. His act of saving us is His act, and it is eternal.
What will your final check-in look like? Scenes of Hell, or scenes of Heaven? Will you check-in to “a full and perfect reward” or “no reward” and clothes a’ smokin’ “as one who has barely escaped through fire”?
However brief or casual – throughout most days we have a precious chance to give individuals hope for the future, show them the love of Jesus.
How can it be that God allows me into His very presence? I just can’t comprehend it. What a privilege.
Jesus predicted that a world-wide trap is going to trounce on the whole world unexpectedly. We are in that predicted time now! But He said He will rescue His followers from that trouncing (Revelation 3:10-11). You ready?
