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."
