A Sense of Urgency

Sam and I started marriage with a study on Hell (way to start a marriage, eh?) It was morbid. Disturbing. Real....very real.

 Luke 16 shares a little glimpse of what hell will be like for those who do not put their trust in God. "The rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’'

Some people picture hell as horns, massive orgies and eternal games of beer pong. But this is a lie. Hell will be an eternal fire where people will be begging for even a drop of water because flames will consume them night and day. They will be alone in agony for eternity.

If you know me, and have trusted my sincerity in the past or present, please continue reading.  I love you with these words.

We have no idea what tomorrow holds. We can’t know tomorrow- but we can know eternity. There is a real Judge at the end of this lifetime and He will judge each one of us. Those who will be saved will be rescued because of their faith in Jesus Christ, not because of their good deeds. They are bought by the blood of Jesus- not by their charities or genuineness or title as “reverend” “pastor” or “nun”.  Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is our great Rescuer. No one else. No other god. Just Jesus.

We all need a Savior. We have all lied, cheated, murdered, and hated. We have all broken at least one of God’s laws, and for that we deserve eternal damnation. These are the wages for our sins, but Jesus has a precious gift that He bought for us when He died on the cross. Eternity with the Love we were made for! The Love we were designed for! Eternal marriage with our forever Husband, Jesus Christ. Are you thirsty? Come to Him! Are you hungry? He will invite you in with His feast! Do you feel alone? He will embrace you because He knows you by name!

There has been a sense of urgency to write you this truth. Some of you will despise this message. Some of you will complacently exit out this screen. But some of you know, or one day know this same sense of urgency. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. And I love you. The world is spitting lies at you and you believe them because they sound better to your ears. You have a soul, man! And it’s going one of two places after this. Sell yourself out for Christ, He will never fail you. He will never leave you. He will always love you. You need Him.  Eternity is at stake.
