Gods P and L Statement
GOD’S P AND L STATEMENT
by David C. Edwards
The success of business and industry depends on the accuracy of future planning. This planning must consider growth prospects and anticipate possible market variations, It is the function of management to be responsible and accountable for this plan. This plan is implemented through accurate and precise budgeting. The budget is the projected cost figures for a period of time culminating in a profit and loss statement. These figures are the basis upon which a man’s performance is judged.
GOD has laid out His budget plan in the Holy Bible. He is very specific as to what He expects and every person will be held accountable.
Matthew I 2:36,37
“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
II Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23a
“For the wages of sin is death….”
All mankind is lost in sin. However, GOD provided a way of salvation through His Son JESUS CHRIST.
Romans 6:23b goes on to say,
“… but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
In business it is good to have an alternate plan, or as some have referred to it, “a back door”. GOD provided one way, one plan. Salvation is through His SON JESUS CHRIST, There is no alternate plan with GOD. Our debt of sin was paid once and for all upon the cross.
I John 5:11-13
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…”
If your life is culminating in a loss according to GOD’S plan, then receive JESUS CHRIST as your personal Savior, and He will credit that loss, for “JESUS paid it all.”
God’s P and L statement is found in Mark 8:36, “For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”
Right now, wherever you may be, pray this prayer and mean it, and GOD will save you as He promised.
“Dear LORD JESUS, I know I’m a sinner and need to be saved. I believe that you rose again and offer me the free gift of salvation. I receive you as my LORD and SAVIOR and ask you to be master of my life. Please come and live within me now. Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer and meant it sincerely, the Bible says in Luke 15:10, “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
Also in II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
