I have been preaching and speaking the message of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ for about three decades now; I want to pause and ask a simple question, has anybody believed my report? Who at all have believed our report?
What is our report?
Though God created us in His own image and likeness to rule and have dominion in the midst of His creation; we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (See Romans 3;23).
The Bible tells us that in the beginning God created us in His image and likeness to have dominion. God blessed man and mandated us to;
- Be fruitful and multiply
- Replenish the earth
- Subdue it
He blessed man to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it. God planted us in the heart of His creation to have dominion and rule; but shortly after man disobeyed God and believed the devil’s lies; as a result death began to reign until Moses. We have all sinned because one man sinned.
Just as by one man disobedience sinned entered into the world and death reign; by one man’s obedience we all can recieve the remission of sins and eternal life.
The Bible says that those who recieve the abundance of grace and gift of righteous shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. This gift of eternal is given to all who believe. It is a free gift of God through Jesus Christ (See Romans 6:23; Roman 5:17; John 3:16)
Indeed, with the heart, a man believes and with the mouth confession is made unto righteousness.
Romans 10:13 teaches that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Eternal life is a free gift to all. You can access it by merely believing and confessing to that effect with your mouth.
What shall we do if we neglect so great a salvation?
Listen, there is no hope for a man who neglect so great a salvation. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Seize it and press on into it.
[Hebrews 2:1-4 KJV] “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;”
“how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?“
The truth is if you neglect so great a salvation you will perish in hell fire. We must pay earnest heed to this messge!
[1 Peter 4:17-19 KJV] “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.“
Whose report would you believe?
I have no doubt that there are many voices in the world. Each of them is speaking; but there is only one authentic source of truth and that is in the word of God, the Holy Scriptures. I know you are hearing many messages and arguments, whose report would you believe? Many have lost their bearing because they yielded to carnal instincts than the word of faith.
Pause and think! God bless you!
