FACE THE FACTS<\/p>\n
by John C. Shafer<\/p>\n
1. You are here on this earth through no choice of your own!
\n2. You will leave this world through no choice of your own!
\n\tIt is appointed to man once to die, “After that the judgment.”
\n\tA resurrection to life or a resurrection to damnation. (John 5:28,29)
\n\tWhosoever is not found in the Book of Life is cast out. (Revelation 20:11-15)
\n\tAny comfort you may have by not considering these facts squarely and honestly is a delusive comfort.<\/p>\n
3. A universal question- ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRIP?
\n\tWhy is it necessary for me to prepare?
\n\tBecause NO ONE is naturally prepared for the trip or possess the qualifications to stand before a thrice holy God.
\n\tWe come into this world unprepared to leave it.
\n\tProblem is two-fold:
\n\tWe have a bad record- that needs blotted out.
\n\tWe have a bad heart- that needs changed.<\/p>\n
4. If you neglect preparing-<\/p>\n
You will still make the trip, but unprepared, unaccepted.<\/p>\n
You will hear the Judge say “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”<\/p>\n
You will pray for the mountains to fall on you and hide you from Him.<\/p>\n
Again, none by nature are ready for this trip.<\/p>\n
God’s grace has made a way, you can leave prepared, IF YOU WANTED TO!<\/p>\n
Christ Jesus came into the world to save some sinners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
