We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Worship is a holy expression before a holy God. To invite nonbelievers into such a holy process is a precarious thing, and to design worship in such a way as to accommodate their secular mindset is not only ineffective evangelism but also severely compromised worship.

Evidence, evidence, evidence, will be the one thing wanted when the great white throne is set, when the books are opened, when the graves give up their tenants, when the dead are arraigned before the bar of God. Without some evidence that our faith in Christ was real and genuine, we shall only rise again to be condemned. I can find no evidence that will be admitted in that day, except sanctification. The question will not be how we talked and what we professed, but how we lived and what we did. Let no man deceive himself on this point. If anything is certain about the future, it is certain that there will be a judgment; and if anything is certain about judgment, it is certain that men’s “works” and “doings” will be considered and examined in it (Jn. 5:29; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:13). He that supposes works are of no importance, because they cannot justify us, is a very ignorant Christian. Unless he opens his eyes, he will find to his cost that if he comes to the bar of God without some evidence of grace, he had better never have been born.

    • What About The Heathen

    What About The Heathen “WHAT ABOUT THE HEATHEN?”

    “You say I’ve got to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior. Well, what about the heathen who’ve never heard?”

    This is usually a smokescreen question thrown up by people who want to shift attention away from themselves. But here is a Scriptural answer to it:

    God has given each human being a conscience, and has put us in a universe which testifies to His power and glory and wisdom and order.

    The apostle Paul observed, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse…” (Romans 1:20 NKJ).

    Although neither conscience nor creation can inform of the redemption provided for believers in Christ, Paul makes the point in Romans 1 and 2 that “they are without excuse” for their SIN.

    People will be judged and condemned for their SINS, whether they have ever heard the Good News about Jesus Christ or not. Certainly, it is a very serious sin to hear this “good news” and reject it, but this is just another sin, and “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).

    The rest of the letter to the Romans explains that the Law of God was given to show the need of a Savior. Trying to follow conscience or trying to keep the Law will never save anybody. The point is that people who have Bibles of their own as well as people who have never heard of Jesus of Nazareth all need a Savior. Otherwise, we can only receive what we deserve: eternal DEATH in Hell for our sins.

    If you are genuinely concerned about the “heathen who’ve never heard”, you should take Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and GO TELL THEM!

    But if you have not yet received the Lord Jesus, we would ask, what about YOU? You HAVE heard. What about the “heathen” holding this paper?
