MILLIONS NOW LIVING ARE ALREADY DEAD!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is this - double talk? A paradox? Some kind of joke?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Neither of these - Just a way to call your attention to a
|
||
|
|
universal situation because statistical facts "hammer home" the
|
||
|
|
startling information that 68 million flesh and blood people die
|
||
|
|
every year. Death is a big business with 160,000 people dying
|
||
|
|
every day. It's a deadly and frightening fact of life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
O.K., so you're young - heathy and full of the old "spizzas!"
|
||
|
|
The truth is you're already on the Death list. You, like many
|
||
|
|
others, may be dead already. The unshakeable Word of God
|
||
|
|
declares that millions now apparently ALIVE are actually dead.
|
||
|
|
Spiritually dead. Listen to the Creator's words!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"And you (believers in Christ) hath he (God) made alive,
|
||
|
|
who were dead in trespasses and sins." Ephesians 2:1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is God who said:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
|
||
|
|
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
|
||
|
|
have sinned." Romans 5:12
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which means, my friend, that if you have not been born anew,
|
||
|
|
you carry Adam's death penalty in your soul. You may be
|
||
|
|
physically in your soul. You may be physically alive but
|
||
|
|
spiritually dead, and therefore, have no contact with God. God
|
||
|
|
in great mercy provided a glorious way out through His Son. Here
|
||
|
|
is His guarantee:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"But as many as recieved Him, to them gave He power to
|
||
|
|
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His
|
||
|
|
name." John 1:12
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he
|
||
|
|
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
|
||
|
|
of God abideth on him." John 3:36
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my Word,
|
||
|
|
and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
|
||
|
|
shall not come into comdemnation; but is passed from death
|
||
|
|
unto life." John 5:24
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By recieving Christ as your Saviour by faith, you will come
|
||
|
|
alive spiritually. You will also come alive in understanding the
|
||
|
|
Bible, God's Word. You will come alive with new desires, Godly
|
||
|
|
desires. You will come alive with a hope burning in your heart
|
||
|
|
of knowing that there will be life after death, life with Christ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Would you right now, from a repentant heart, cry out to God
|
||
|
|
with this prayer?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Believing the Gospel, that the Lord Jesus Christ died for
|
||
|
|
me, and that He was buried for me, and rose again the third
|
||
|
|
day from the dead for me, I now recieve Him as my Saviour, and
|
||
|
|
confess Him as my Lord."
