A SAD SITUATION
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”–2 Thessalonians 1:8
Some who are reading this will have received it from one of our readers who sent it to you out of concern for your soul. Others are reading it who are professing Christians and have heard it before, and might even attend church every week. Yet, deep down in their heart they know they have no assurance of heaven. Whatever the case, I hope you will give serious thought to this scripture and to what an unknown writer said about it.
“Many people go through life and never obey the gospel. They have no use for the church. They do not support it, either with their money or presence. Yet when they die, they want their body taken to a church building that they did not help build; they want songs sung from books they never helped buy. They want a preacher that they never helped to support, to read from the Bible that they never respected enough to read, sweet words of comfort and consolation to their loved ones and preach their soul into heaven that they never prepared to live in. Isn’t it peculiar? Never let it be said of you. Obey the gospel of Christ before it is too late.”
Truth is often hard, but ignoring it is much worse! I pray that you will consider the awful consequences of not receiving Christ as your Savior. Jesus said,” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6. Trust Him today! HDS
