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
drink lots of water with my pain medications. I am thankful each time I
drink water and am often reminded of the rich man in Hell who could not
receive even one drop of water in his torments, although he begged and
pleaded for mercy.
I was thinking today of how awesome, generous and merciful God is to the world. The Bible says that God is good to everyone. Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.” I was thinking about the drastic contrast between what the saved verses the unsaved will experience in eternity. For the forgiven in Jesus Christ (who have received the Lord's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins) ALL THINGS shall be given unto them...
Romans 8:31-33, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 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? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
In sharp contrast, all Christ-rejecters who die in their sins, which includes self-righteous religious people who die in their good works and sacramental salvation, will burn in the fires of Hell forever. They WON'T be allowed even ONE DROP of water from God...
Luke 16:22-26, “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.”
It's ALL or NOTHING friend. You'll either be
given your every heart's desire or else you won't be given even a single
drop of toilet water to quench your suffering and torment in the flames of
Hell. I can't believe that anyone would be so foolish as to sing about
burning in Hell? Yet,
Conan O'Brien boasts that he's going to Hell. As an Irish Roman
Catholic, Conan O'Brien thinks Hell is a big joke. I've witnessed to many
Catholics who don't even believe in a literal Hell. Their religion is all
show-N-tell.
ACDC sings that they're on a HIGHWAY TO HELL. Millions of fans worldwide
sing along... I'm On A Highway To Hell!!! And they certainly are.
The worst sin that a person can commit is not murder or adultery, it is forgetting God (which leads to all other sins). Psalms 50:22, “Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” America has forgotten God, banning the Bible from our nation's classrooms. Women all dress whorishly and seductively in public. The abortion industry has taught Americans that life is cheap. The end result is a society that doesn't care what they do to others, even children. What do you expect in a society that cheapens and exploits the human body for profits? People speak of Seven Deadly Sins, but ALL SIN is deadly! All sin leads to more sin. Forgetting God is 100% sinful pride. The Bible says God will tear those who forget Him into pieces.
God gave both northern Israel (Isaiah 40:2) and southern Israel (Jeremiah 16:18) DOUBLE punishment for their advanced stages of wickedness in society. Americans deserve FOUR FOLD the punishment for our nation's crimes against the innocent and God (and our day of reckoning is fast approaching).
It's all or nothing... what will it be for you?
God Will Give To Us All Things, Never To Be Taken Away Again
ALL THINGS shall be given unto the Christian in eternity...
Romans 8:31-33, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 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? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
Isn't that beautiful and something awesome to
look forward to? God the Father is going to freely give us our heart's
desire in eternity. Your favorite hobbies, foods, recreation... God will
give us everything to support our interests. Just as an earthly father who
wants to support his children's interests and ambitions, so also will our
heavenly Father give unto us the desires of our heart.
We will have literal possessions in Heaven. In Matthew 6:20 Jesus told us to lay up for OURSELVES treasures in Heaven. The Lord promised that no thief could ever steal them. You won't have to sell and lose your home to pay for legal expenses in Heaven. You won't lose many of your personal belongings, having strangers come into your home and take away your stuff. No one will steal your car and trash it out, driving it into a telephone pole at high-speed. You won't lose your pets one day and never even get to say goodbye (after loving and feeding them for 9 years). You won't lose nearly everything you've ever worked for in a single day. You won't lose 15 years of retirement savings in a divorce. You won't have to endure others enjoy living in your home that you once enjoyed. You won't have to endure seeing your wife (or husband) involved with another. There will be no deaths or suicides in Heaven. None of these horribly traumatic things will happen in Heaven. Here on earth they happen every day to millions of people worldwide.
The Lord promised that neither rust nor moth would deteriorate our possessions. Neither dry rot nor humidity will ruin our possessions in Heaven. It's ironic, the Lord wants us to forsake all possessions down here on earth, so we can gain all up there in eternity. I believe that we will have our beloved pets back in Heaven that will never be taken from us again. No more tears of losing everything that we ever loved or cared about... gone in a flash! No more no-win situations where we have absolutely no control, as our life is torn away from us. It won't happen in Heaven. Jesus won't allow it! I love 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.” People will never be able to hurt us again within Heaven's pearly gates and streets of gold. It will be wonderful there... more wonderful than Oz, more wonderful than Brigadoon, more wonderful than Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory, more wonderful than Somewhere Over The Rainbow! It will be a dream come true!!!
But if you die in your sins as most people will (Matthew 7:13-14), then you WON'T even be allowed a single drop of water. NOT ONE DROP OF WATER to quench your thirst in the torments of Hell. Now the Bible does mention the gnashing of teeth caused by physical pain in Hell (Matthew 13:42); but the Bible also mentions a different gnashing of the teeth caused because of seeing all that you could have had with the loving Lord, but you lost it all because of your own stupidity and short-sighted unbelief on earth. 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.”
Can you imagine being in the Lake of Fire, knowing that there's no escape and it's forever? At least if you get life in prison here on earth, you know that death will free you; but in the Lake of Fire, it WILL NEVER END! Even after a TRILLION years, it won't even be the beginning! Are you really willing to chance that there's no Hell because comedian George Carlin doesn't think so? Are you really willing to chance that there's no Hell because some fornicating or homosexual college professor hates God and teaches youth that God doesn't exist (Romans 1:25,28)?
Jesse Ventura says that his religion is the same as George Carlin's. Jesse Ventura might as well curse God and shake his fist at Heaven above, which is exactly what Carlin did and is now burning in Hell forever. It's not a big laughing matter now to George Carlin!!! The man will burn forever, with no hope of anything good ever happening again. Is that what you want? My entire ministry online (see also Jesus-is-Savior.com and Soulwinning.info) is aimed at keeping you and others OUT OF HELL. I want you to be with me in Heaven with the righteous Lord, Who bore our sins on Calvary's tree so we could be with Him forever together (John 14:1-3), enjoying the splendors of everything good in this universe. Doesn't that sound great??? This is reality friend, and it can be yours FOR FREE, JUST FOR THE TAKING.
People get high on drugs and alcohol to escape life's problems, but the problems are still there when the drugs and alcohol wear off. I've never drank a drop of alcohol in my life and never plan to (by God's grace if I have any brains left). I've had waitresses occasionally tell me at a restaurant that a beer comes with my meal. I tell them instantly and firmly, I DON'T DRINK BEER! Give it to the Devil.
Today's Country and Rock music create a feeling
of euphoria that in real life cannot be fulfilled. The music is
bigger-than-life, just like Hollywood, which cannot be fulfilled in the
sinful world. No wonder people are committing suicide! You CAN find
fulfillment in the promises of God's Word. The rainbow testifies that
God keeps His promises! The power of God rests in the PROMISES of God (2nd
Peter 1:4).
Jesus Christ Is The Only Mediator Between God The Father And Men
There is no hope outside of faith in Jesus Christ. 1st Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” The ONLY mediator between God and men is the Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man, the sacrificial Lamb of God. John 1:29, “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” There is no salvation apart from the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12).
Salvation is a free gift from God to anyone who
desires it (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-10), but you must accept it on the
basis of the Gospel, that is, Christ's death on the cross for your sins, His
burial, and His bodily resurrection three days later (1st Corinthians
15:1-4). You must believe the Gospel, making it your only hope for Heaven.
There is no other way to go to Heaven. If you acknowledge that you are a
guilty sinner in God's holy eyes for breaking His commandments (Romans
3:19), and you receive Christ's payment on the cross as full payment for
your sins, you will be saved immediately and eternally (Philippians 3:9;
Romans 10:3-4; Galatians 3:26).
The Lord Will Give Us Our Every Heart's Desire In Eternity
I love to play the steel guitar. I already know
that God has some beautiful steel guitars waiting for me. I told the Lord to
surprise me. I never tell the Lord what I want, because I trust that He
knows my heart infinitely better than I ever could, and can do a much better
job of picking things for me than I can for myself. He said all things will
be given to us in Romans 8:32. Jesus was a carpenter and can build anything
handmade. I think it is amazing and more than a coincidence that the Creator
of this universe worked on earth for 30 years as a carpenter! Amen! The Lord
said to Peter in John 14:1-3 that He was going to prepare a place for him
(and every believer), that we may be together forever in “My Father's
house.”
I know that God is going to enable me to play music the way I have always wanted to (few artists like their work). God is going to give me an orchestra to play along with, and the best sound equipment. We likely won't even need sound equipment, but I hope so. I love the old tube technology. I love old things and aged wood. I don't play my guitar anywhere near as much as I'd like to down here on earth—in part because of my adverse health with my neck, and also because I sacrifice most of my time to maintain and work on my websites (and I am honored and grateful for the unique opportunity and privileged to do so).
I have given up my life for the Lord's work. Matthew 10:42 and 16:25, “And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. ... For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” God is going to reward me for every keystroke on my computer's keyboard, every night I've worked through until the next day, and for working hard even though it caused more pain in my neck sitting for long hours typing. Jesus PROMISED to reward all of our labors for Him. 1st Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
My ministry is never a chore in my heart, but oftentimes difficult because of my constant pain and bodily torment. The Lord gives me strength to carry on, which I believe is because of my web visitors who pray for me and my labors for Christ. Colossians 4:12 says that PRAYER IS LABOR. 1st Corinthians 3:8 promises that God rewards all labour in the Lord.
God has given me a loud voice in cyberspace that some people can only dream of having. God gave it to me because He knew I wouldn't compromise nor ask for money. God knew that my heart would be pure and sincerely want to get the truth of His Word out to others. It's all from my heart, rooted in God's unconditional love in my heart for others as a child of God. I love helping others in the Lord.
Luke 16:22-26, “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.”
Will you have ALL THINGS or NOT ONE DROP OF
WATER in eternity? The choice is yours alone to make friend. God is offering
EVERYTHING for free (not just some things, but ALL THINGS), and all you have
to do is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved (Acts 16:3-31;
Galatians 3:26-29). If you go to Hell, the Bible says that you will have NO
EXCUSES (Romans 1:20). 2nd Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he
abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”
The Choice Is Yours Alone To Make, All or Nothing
If you'll be honest with yourself, and sincerely search the Scriptures (i.e., King James Bible) as Jesus commanded in John 5:39, you'll know beyond any shadow of a doubt that the Word of God is 100% true. Nature itself also bears witness that God is real, and is a good God (Psalms 19:1-3; Romans 1:20). History agrees with the Holy Bible. Science agrees with the Holy Bible. Archaeology agrees with the Holy Bible. So many people are fools today, blindly adopting the wicked philosophies of atheist men like George Carlin, Rod Serling and Gene Rodenberry, who died in their unbelief and went straight to Hell forever. If you go to Hell, it will be your fault alone for following the Devil's crowd into Hell.
You are a sinner friend, and so am I. But I've been born-again by God's righteousness through faith in Christ alone. I got saved at age 13. I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that I am saved and going to Heaven when I die; not because I am good, but because God is good. God promised to save those who believe. Are you saved? Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Is the Gospel the power of God unto salvation to you, or is it foolishness to you as it was to comedian George Carlin? 1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” To the unsaved world, the preaching of the Gospel is nonsense. 1st Corinthians 1:21.,“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” I love the Gospel, for through believing it I am saved eternally.
The Gospel means “Good News.” The bad news is that you are a woeful sinner who deserves to burn in the Lake of Fire forever and ever, and so do I. The good news is that NO ONE has to go to Hell, because God in His unconditional mercy, grace and love has made a way of escape. Romans 5:8-9, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” No one can escape God's judgment. Romans 2:3, “And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Ah, but as you just read in Romans 5:9, we can be saved from God's wrath and condemnation by faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood washes away every believer's sins (1st John 1:7; Revelation 1:5; 1st Peter 1:18-19).
I wish I knew some magic words to write, that would impress upon your heart your desperate need to be born-again through faith in the Gospel. Oh friend, please don't let this ungodly world take you to Hell with them. You were born as an individual, and you will die as an individual. You will either reject Christ, or receive Him as your personal Savior, as an individual. When you stand before God in eternity, you will be judged and give account as an individual (Romans 14:10-12). Christ died on the cross for you, individually. Just as God created you as an individual, so also does He know your name, even knowing how many hairs are on your head (Matthew 10:29-30). As only God can do, He is omniscient (knows all) and pays 100% attention to your every thought (Proverbs 24:12), word (Matthew 12:36) and deed (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Psalms 139:1-5 says God knows when you lie down, and when you rise up. Hebrews 4:13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”
I pray with all my heart that you, whoever you may be, will receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. God has promised in Romans 8:32 to give you ALL THINGS as His child in eternity. What an awesome God! The Lord wants you to be happy and have eternal happiness, and it's all free to you, paid for by the precious blood of Jesus. Please don't foolishly let the unbelieving world in their pride, lust and hatred for the light of the saving Gospel, drag you into the lake of fire and brimstone with them forever.
2nd Corinthians 4:3-7, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
All or nothing, what will it be? Will you be in Heaven with me, enjoying all the wonderful blessings that God has promised to give us to make us happy; or will you be tormented day-and-night in the ascending smoke and flames of the Lake of Fire, screaming in pain and without hope for all time without end (Revelation 14:11). Only a fool of fools would scoff and reject so great a salvation. Only a hardened wicked person would forfeit a chance to freely escape the damnation of Hell, and freely enjoy all the blessings of God in eternity, just for the taking. It will be a horrifying time in eternity, when billions of souls attempt to enter into Heaven's pearly gates, but will not be able (Luke 13:23-24; Matthew 7:21-23). The choice is yours alone to make. You must decide. I love you in the Lord, whoever you may be. Please get saved now, before it is too late.
