9-11 Anniversary: A Reminder

From the beginning of time, God has allowed everyone the right to make decisions. One major decision for all of us is to decide what our destination will be after death. If you have decided to wait and think there is plenty of time, here is a reminder.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of people began their normal workday in the World Trade Towers in Manhattan New York. Suddenly and without warning, an airplane flew into one of the 110 story towers and exploded on impact. Then a second one hit the other tower and exploded as well. In just a matter of minutes both towers fell to the ground.

Life and death is unknown. Only God knows the length of your life (Deut. 32:39). God's Word, The Bible, says, "Today is the accepted time and the Day of Salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2). There are no guarantees in life. Unless you make a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, there are none in death either.

Just One Easy Way

When you have something to do and it's going to take a long time to do it, what do you do? You just figure out how many ways there are to get it done, then choose the best way and go for it.

The same thing applies to Salvation. So you ask how many ways there is to become a Christian and are surprised to find out there is just one easy way. Yes, all you have to do is believe. Just believe Christ died on the cross for you and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Is God Real?

There really is a God and "He knows everything" (I John 3:20). Of course, if you don't believe in the Bible, you won't believe in God because the Bible is the true Word of God and there is none other.

And if you don't believe in God, you won't believe in the Bible. We read, "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God" (John 1:1). So we believe there is a God.

So, how about you? Do you believe God is real? If you believe in the Bible, of course you are going to believe He is real. But if you don't, maybe it's time you do so!

Stop, Look, and Listen

These are words of caution which are used when approaching railroad tracks. This is important in other areas as well.

When it comes to salvation you want to stop, look, and listen to what God has to say. There is only one way and that way is to believe Christ died on the cross for your sin and rose the third day.

So, if you believe, you will have eternal life. And eternal life is the most important thing you will ever experience in your life on earth and in your life after death.

Four Letter Words

There are a lot of four letter words. Some good and some not so good. Then there's the word four, it's a four letter word, but so is the word five. These are good words.

And if you are sick, this four letter word becomes a bad word until you take some medicine which makes it much better.

Speaking of four letter words, "Love" is another one of the good words that we use once in a while. In 1 John 4:8, we read "God is love," and it is good to know that He loves us no matter what we do.

Thy Will Be Done

In Matthew the sixth chapter, the Christian has been given a guideline for prayer. In the tenth verse it says to pray, "Thy will be done."

When we say, "Thy will be done," we are trusting God to do what is best, no matter what is best, no matter how long it takes.

There will be times when we will have to wait longer than we want to, but if we wait for His will to be done, it will be on time and done right.
