1st Corinthians 2:9-10, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
I was thinking today about how great it is to know that my name is written in
Heaven as a Christian. Amen!
And then I thought about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and all the smorgasbord of food that were going to feast upon. The Bible says when the two angels came to Lot's house, they ate a feast which Lot prepared. This included fresh homemade baked bread (Genesis 19:3). That means angels eat! When Jesus resurrected, in His glorified body, He ate and drank on multiple occasions with His disciples (Luke 24:39-43).
The Bible promises that when each believer receives our new glorified body at the Rapture, it will be fashioned like UNTO THE LORD'S (Philippians 3:21). Yeah boy, I can't wait to get to Heaven and feast on all the awesome family recipes throughout the ages of time!!! I'm talking everyone's favorite recipes will be in Heaven! Do you want to miss out on the grandest buffet of all time and beyond? Not me buddy! This is a great reason to get born-again!
Consider the following drastic contrast between the unsaved and the saved:
UNSAVED - Philippians 3:18-19, “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
SAVED - Philippians 3:20-21, “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
What would you rather have—a brand new perfect body with supernatural abilities like the Lord's, or a body designed to withstand the tremendous heat and torture of the Lake of Fire for all eternity? Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” I don't know about you, but I want to be with Jesus in Heaven, with a new immortal perfect body, enjoying the wonderful recipes and foods from around the world. The Lord enjoyed eating while on the earth. Matthew 11:19a, “The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber...” The word “eat” is mentioned 757 times in the New Testament. The Lord enjoyed eating and fellowship with others. We read in the Bible that Jesus attended wedding feasts and often accepted dinner invitations into people's homes. In Heaven, we are going to enjoy eating and drinking. I sure don't want to miss that!
The same omnipotent Savior Who walked upon the Sea Of Galilee, and commanded the raging waves of the sea and the mighty blowing winds to calm, will change our corrupted earthly bodies into immortal and incorruptible glorified bodies. We will be able to ascend into the air as did the Lord (Acts 1:9). We will be able to walk through walls as did the Lord (John 20:19). 1st Corinthians 15:51-53, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye.
All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.Chorus
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
God is so good!!! When I think about all the horrible wars, famines, pestilences and atrocities which have afflicted so many hundreds-of-millions of people throughout the history of mankind, I praise God for our blessed American culture. Unfortunately, things have slowly been deteriorating because of the rejection of Christianity in the United States. Ultimately, our nation will fall to chaos, anarchy and a rising police state.
Another great reason to get saved is to escape the fires of Hell. I heard Dr. Jack Hyles say in a sermon that he was saved, I believe it was at the age of 11. Brother Hyles said he got saved because he was afraid of going to Hell. My friend, that is a very good reason to come to Christ for salvation. That is why I got saved too. I heard a false prophet named Paris Reidhead, teach that a person is not saved if they only got saved to escape the fires of Hell. That is a lie of the Devil. It doesn't matter why a person receives Christ to be saved, just so long as they get saved. Every person who acknowledges that they are a guilty sinner in the eyes of a holy God (Romans 3:19), and BELIEVES the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are immediately and permanently born-again. 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”
Wanting to escape the fires of Hell forever is a perfectly acceptable motive to trust Christ as one's Savior. I'm so sick-and-tired of the Lordship Salvation heresy that has infected thousands of churches today. The new corrupt Bible versions all teach “ANOTHER GOSPEL” by redefining what it means to “REPENT.” Please use only the King James Bible, which hasn't been corrupted. Satan knows that if he can replace the inspired Words of God with a substitute, then he can misled you and even take you to Hell with a false plan of salvation. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born-again. Have you been born-again? Are you saved? Have you believed the Gospel?
There are so many reasons to get saved. My friend, you will absolutely hate yourself for all eternity if you go to Hell. You will be miserable, lonely, tormented in flames of fire, inexplicably uncomfortable, without rest, without relief and without hope. IT WILL BE TOO LATE. You'll hate yourself even more when you look into Heaven, and see the saved enjoying the blessings, joy and presence of the dear Savior. Luke 13:28, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
Jesus could return right now!!! Are you ready to meet your Maker friend? Have you been born-again by the Holy Spirit of God? The heathen world has a hundred excuses not to get saved. If you're not saved, what's yours? I hear so many people praising atheist comedian, George Carlin, who was a gifted orator; yet Mr. Carlin is burning in Hell this moment, because he died in his sins without Jesus Christ. Do you want to join him? Do you really? Think about it, because life is short, Hell is hot, and eternity is a long time!!!
Perhaps you ask, “Why should I trust Jesus? Why not Allah? Why not Zoroaster? Why not Buddha? Why Jesus?” Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” The inspired Word of God teaches that SALVATION IS FOUND ONLY IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!! The big question is: Do you believe that the words in the Bible are God's Holy Words? Most people who criticize the Bible have never truly read the Scriptures. They read a few verses or chapters with a bitter heart, a closed mind and a love for sin, looking for justification to validate their hatred of God, fundamental Christians and the Holy Bible.
The appearance of the Antichrist is drawing near, which means we are so close to the appearance of the Lord Jesus at the pretribulation Rapture. As a born-again Christian, I am looking forward to receiving a brand new healthy, perfect and immortal body, fashioned just like Jesus' body, at the Rapture. I'm looking forward to all the blessings of God. Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” I'm looking forward to Jesus protecting my feelings, and no one will ever ruin my day again. John 16:22, “And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” I'm looking forward to Heaven, where there is no worry over thieves breaking through to steal, and the gates are left wide open all the time. Revelation 21:25, “And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.”
Oh, how I want to be with Jesus! If I took the time to go through the entire Bible, I am confident that I could find at least 1,000 reasons to get saved. The Scriptures teach that believers will one day reign with Christ. Revelation 20:6, “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” The 'First Resurrection' Of Revelation 20:6 Consists Of Five Separate Resurrections. In sharp contrast, Christ-rejecters in Hell will suffer in torment and have nothing. There is no future in Hell, except death, pain and misery.
It is tragic that most people today scoff the reality of Hell, challenge the legitimacy of the Holy Bible, and downplay the need to be born-again. We are about to find out very soon who was right, and who was wrong. When the Lord returns, or this short earthly life ends, we will all learn THE TRUTH. I'm betting on the King James Bible being right! I'm taking the side of Jesus Christ! If you dare deny and reject the Holy Bible, knock yourself out; but I believe that the King James Bible is 100% God's inerrant, infallible, perfect, inspired, incorruptible, holy and preserved Words!!! My complete hope and trust is in the precious name of Jesus Christ!!!
There are so many reasons to get saved. Anyone with a working brain ought to want to escape Hell. Certainly, being with Jesus is my greatest desire, the One Who died for me and set me from from the curses of sin, death and Hell. Praise the Lord, for He is good!!! I'm looking forward to eating with the Lord, feasting on Heaven's menu. It's going to be grand! I'm looking forward to my new body, fashioned like unto the Lord's body.
I'm looking forward to whatever work God has for me to do. I believe we will have jobs in Heaven, but they will be fun and enjoyable, things that we enjoy doing. I believe God gives everyone a special desire and ability to do a certain work (Philippines 2:13). I'd love to learn to be a food chef in Heaven, cooking for others, watching them enjoy a delicious meal. I'd also like to be a luthier making stringed musical instruments, and enjoy people making music on something that my hands crafted. That would be great. And I very much want to perform musical instruments (especially my pedal steel guitar) in Heaven along with other musicians. Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Yes, I believe the Lord will let me do these things, as He promised in Romans 8:32.
In Heaven, believers will be one big happy family. Yes, if you are saved, you have a Christian family here on earth and in Heaven. Ephesians 3:14-15, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” This is what the local church is—your spiritual family in the Lord (if you are saved)! People who go to Hell will have no family. There's no party going on in Hell. That's only how idiots talk. Nobody is laughing in Hell!!! (an excellent MP3 sermon by Evangelist Phil Kidd). Tears In Heaven (MP3, Evangelist Phil Kidd; Life is short, hell is hot, and eternity is forever!). I have given you just a few reasons why you'll hate yourself forever if you go to Hell, but once you get to Hell (and I sincerely hope you don't let that happen to yourself), you'll think of thousands!
All you have to do
to go to Hell is NOTHING!!! You are a sinner by nature and by choice, and so
am I. You and I were born spiritually dead, inherited from Adam's sin (Romans
5:12; Ephesians 2:1-2). That's why we all must be born-again by the Holy
Spirit of God (John 1:12-14; 1st Peter 1:23). No amount of good works, prayer,
penance, reform, generosity or religious devotion can substitute for
God's imputed
righteousness (Romans 4:5-6 - Note: All Scripture references are ONLY to
the trustworthy KING JAMES BIBLE), which is obtained ONLY by faith in
the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other way! That is why the
heathen world hates and despises Christianity so much, that is, because we
teach what the Bible teaches, that Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven (John
14:6).
Or Perhaps You'd Like To Take The Highway-To-Hell Instead
Friend, what are your hopes, dreams, desires, talents and ambitions? If they are decent, good, pure and holy, then God has promised to give us ALL THINGS in eternity. But if you die in your sins and go to Hell, the Bible says that you will be tormented day and night with the Devil, forever. Revelation 14:11, “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” This will be the fate of everyone who goes to Hell. If you are not born-again, then you are a child of the Devil, whether you realize it or not (John 8:44).
Perhaps you say, “I would never worship the Beast when he comes!” Oh really! Many people are unknowingly worshipping the Beast (Antichrist) already, which is indirectly worshipping Satan. Satan will use any lie or scam to deceive you. The Bible says the Devil will be very successful at tricking the world. Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
NOTE: Carefully notice in the preceding Scripture that we learn how Satan and the demons came to be upon earth, that is, they (Lucifer and his loyal disobedient angels) were kicked out of Heaven and cast down to the earth. Since this event is not recorded in the Old Testament, and Satan was already present in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, it is logical to conclude an old earth creation. That is, a pre-Adamic creation when dinosaurs roamed the earth. In the Genesis 6-day creation beginning in Genesis 1:2, God remolded the universe. For a compelling exegesis of Genesis 1, explaining the truth of an old earth, please read: THE REMODELING.
If you live on planet earth, then you are familiar with AC/DC's massive hit, HIGHWAY TO HELL from their 1979 album). The original singer, Bon Scott, drank himself to death with booze several months later, sadly discovering the horrifying REALITY OF HELL. Oh, please don't follow Bon Scott upon the Highway-To-Hell. My friend, life is short, Hell is hot, and eternity is a long time!!! Don't be a fool. Salvation is completely free, but you must receive it by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You must receive Christ's sacrifice, believing that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and bodily resurrected three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
In 1980, new AC/DC singer Brian Johnson and the group perfected their demonic song on their next album, Back In Black, recording the version most often heard today around the world. In fact, AC/DC's song HIGHWAY TO HELL has won awards for being one of the most played songs.[1] Tragically, this blasphemous song against God has unofficially become America's new national anthem, being performed millions of times a year around the country, from nightclubs and public concerts to the 2015 music Grammy Awards in Hollywood. The song has been featured in umpteen Hollywood movies. They are all on the fast-track to the Lake of Fire, and they don't really believe it. They don't believe that the Bible are God's holy, inspired, Words.
If you die right now in your sins without Jesus Christ, your eyes will open in Hell. You'll have to wait in fear for your court date, at The Great White Throne of Judgment. If you died today and Christ came back tomorrow morning at the Rapture, you'd have to wait at least 1,007 years for your court trial (i.e., the 7-year Tribulation plus the 1,000-year Millennium). At The Great White Throne of Judgment, you will be judged and sentenced to the Lake of Fire forever (Revelation 20:11-15). Is that what you want? You'll hate yourself forever if you choose that destructive route, knowing that you could have had eternal life, paradise and blessing all completely for free. The choice is yours alone to make. People who are burning in Hell now would give a million lifetimes of wealth, pleasure and fame if they could just have one more chance to get saved. If you are reading this, YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE!
Hell will be
filled with rich, powerful, influential and talented people. Most rich people
reject Jesus Christ, because they are sinfully proud, blinded by their
prestige, social class, wealth and influence. But God is no respecter of
persons. 1st Peter 1:17, “And if ye call on the Father, who without respect
of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your
sojourning here in fear.” We will soon find out who was right, and who was
wrong. The end of the world as we know it is drawing closer each day.
According to the dream given to king Nebuchadnezzar by God,
which is interpreted for us in
the book of Daniel, we are now living in the End Times. Are you ready to
meet your Maker?
You Still Have Time To Get Saved Before It's Too Late
It doesn't matter how wicked you may think you are, God is a forgiving God, Who loves to pardon iniquity. Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” The world is foolish, sinfully trying to enter into Heaven “some other way” (John 10:1)—through human effort (works), religion, sacraments, water baptism, devotion, morality, philosophy, reformation, the Virgin Mary and various other methods—which are all idolatry!
Most people laugh and scoff at my website ministry, because I preach the Word of God from the Holy Bible (i.e., the King James Bible). I'm not the one who is going to be sorry, you are, if who reject Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. I'm speaking to supporters of Lordship Salvation. You need to get saved. I'm speaking to Roman Catholics. You need to get saved. I'm speaking to Seventh-day Adventists. You need to get saved before it is too late. Satan has blinded the masses of this world (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Unless you get born-again, you will be cast into the Lake of Fire forever (John 3:3; 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 21:8)!!! Religion is a sure road to Hell, fire and damnation. Have you truly been born-again?
Please don't miss out on all the blessings which God has prepared for those who “die in the Lord” (Revelation 14:13). Only born-again Christians die in the Lord, meaning that you are in Christ by faith. Ephesians 2:12-13, “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” The only one who can prevent you from going to Heaven is you, because God has given His solemn promise to save anyone who believes of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God (Romans 10:13; John 3:16; Philippians 3:9).
If you die in your sins and unbelief, you'll regret (with the bitterest of tears) your stupidity for ever and ever. You'll spend the rest of eternity burning in the flames of Hell, being tormented night and day without rest, comfort or relief. There is no water in Hell. Please think about this, because it is reality. Once you pass into eternity, your fate is sealed, there is no going back. Once you die and go to Hell, you cannot come back for a second chance. Friend, you have that second chance right now, please don't blow it!
