Suppose You Committed A Serious Crime, And Were Brought Into Court. The Evidence Against You Is Overwhelming,

Suppose you committed a serious crime, and were brought into court. The evidence against you is overwhelming, and the judge asks how do you plead and you say GUILTY, and then asks if you have anything to say and you sincerely plead:

“I am SO SORRY!! I promise I will NEVER do this again! Please have MERCY on me!”

Regardless of how earnest you are an EARTHLY JUDGE has no choice but to execute JUSTICE according to the law — but before the HEAVENLY JUDGE it’s a different story!

While we all deserve judgement as due justice for our sins, in God’s courtroom 1 John 2:1 says that “If any man sin, we have an ADVOCATE with the Father, JESUS CHRIST the righteous” where 'advocate' here not only means attorney or counselor, but additionally that the fine and punishment for your sin WAS fully paid for by this adovocate on your behalf through the blood of Christ:

“In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7

All of us one day will stand before the heavenly judge, and if in that courtroom you do not have Jesus as your Advocate, your sentence will be the Hammer of JUSTICE instead of the Cross of MERCY.

Friend, sincerely confess your sins today BEFORE before you stand in that court, and you WILL receive God’s MERCY which you do not deserve instead of the JUSTICE that you do deserve.

Most people do not adhere to any religion - because at heart, they don’t believe what is taught by that belief system is TRUE.

For example, when people see elaborate temples full of candles, incense, and endless statues to strange looking idols, practicing animal sacrifices and performing strange dances, or large cathedrals or mosques they think…Why? What’s the point of going to church service every morning and lighting candles, praying five times each day or following a strict tenant of laws and behavior. None of these things seem logical, acceptable or point to “a way to TRUTH ”.

That leads us to Christianity, which on the surface is the most seemingly un-true and un-believable faith of all. Here is a teaching that claims that a man raised himself from the dead and promises eternal life if you will “eat his flesh and drink his blood” - a non-sensical thought to say the least! Then there are all those other seemingly incredulous Bible stories about the world being created in six days, the Red Sea parting, a talking donkey, and voices from heaven. In this regard, Christianity has all other religions beat for sheer un-believability.

But consider for a moment, What IF Christianity IS TRUE? How would that change things for you personally if that was so?

What if in fact Jesus Christ was God, became man, and came to deliver you from the consequence of sin to bring you into eternal life? What if Christ actually did rise from the dead and ascend into heaven? And because of and believing in that, your eternal destiny would be secure. In that case, that’s a game changer that cannot be ignored.

Faith in God in Christ and in the Bible is indeed a leap of faith and the Bible itself says that “Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please Him (i.e. God)” (Hebrews 11:6)

In the world today there are many “truths” expounded by many, but Jesus said that he was “The way, The TRUTH, and the LIFE.” This message is not designed to convince you, because the only one that can really convince you that this is TRUE is yourself.

SO, If Christianity were TRUE, Would You Become a Christian?

YOU DECIDE...

Imagine that you went to the doctor, and after examining you, she leaves the room and comes back after awhile with a grimace on her face and says, “I am sorry to tell you this but your test results came back and you have a life-threatening disease. If unchecked it always results in death, however we caught it in time and have a sure cure for it. Would you like to start treatment right away?”

So if this was you, what would your answer be? Would you take the cure?

Of course you would.

Well the truth is every single person ever born has a terminal disease, and that disease is called SIN. If left untreated, it always results in certain death.

Fortunately like the doctor offered to the stricken patient, there is a sure cure! It but it does not come from a hospital or a lab, but it came from a hill called Golgatha 2,000 years ago from the Blood of Jesus Christ that was poured out as He was crucified on a cross. The Bible says the cure was given when -

“(Christ’s blood (was) poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Matthew 26:28

There IS a sure cure for the disease of sin, and if left unchecked ETERNAL death is certain, but if you haven’t received it yet, you can! All you have to do is to ask the Great Physician for this cure to forgive you of your sins, and when you do The cure is FREE and SURE.

Will you take this cure today?

What will YOUR answer be?

The iconic comedian George Carlin often derided the Bible by saying whenever there was something that seemed a bit wacky, he explained it in a mocking tone saying, “Well…It’s MYSTERY.” While a humorous tag line, it raises an interesting question.

Does that mean that because we don’t understand something, therefore it must be UNTRUE?!?

That was the dilemma Sir Isaac Newton faced after discovering the principle of gravity. He proved scientifically it existed, but did not know HOW it worked, and today we STILL don’t understand how it works, yet we all depend upon it! Does that mean gravity is untrue?

Likewise, just because there are parts of the Bible that are not understandable doesn’t mean the entire book is a false fable of fabrications.

The Bible says that all scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16) and that God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), so given that, while we may not totally understand, we can totally trust it is true.

Are you open to trusting God at His Word, even if you do not fully understand it?

It’s hard to know what the future will bring when life suddenly throws you a curve. Just when everything is going along fine and dandy, the rug suddenly slip out from under your feet and unexpected things will inevitably happen completely out of the blue. Our response to those things will be determined on how we have prepared ourselves of how much the word of God has been built up inside of us. Will we stand firm in our faith or will we experience fear?

When life is difficult, we look to God and find out that He has grace. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Bible tell us that His grace is sufficient for you, for his power is made perfect in our weakness. First, we must give our situation and life to God; this is the hardest part, because we feel more secure of we think we are in control of things. Once we give these things over to Him, He is going to give us the ability to stand up and endure.

So, no matter what is going on in your life, remember that all things are temporary. Keep your focus on Jesus and not on any negative circumstances. God is faithful and He will always see you through by bringing you into the season of blessing, so rejoice and praise Him for the season you are in, even it is very hard and trying. Be strong and be brave and remember that He is right there by your side with you and expect Him to see you through.

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills from where comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1

A car at a stoplight had a bumper sticker that simply said 'Non-Judgment Day Is Coming.' As this fellow pulled away, it raised an interesting question and that was 'How exactly can an event be coming that is NOT coming?' But then pondering more about it, depending on your point of view this statement could be entirely correct!

From the perspective of many, a day of judgment is definitely NOT coming. If there is no god, then it makes perfect sense to be free to live life with impunity without any repercussions for your actions. You are free to 'eat, drink, and be merry' because there are no limits or restrictions on life except the ones you set.

On the other hand, the Bible says something diametrically opposed to that - but with a hopeful twist! While Romans 16:20 says that such a day is indeed coming, here’s the thing – Judgment Day is coming for some but not everyone. Here’s why…

While God is a God of Love, He is also a God of Justice. While we will all cross the threshold of mortality into eternity, when we reach that intersection those that have received a pardon for their sins by standing under the doorposts of the blood of Christ, just as the Hebrews did in Egypt, were “passed over” from that Judgment Day. That means that for those not under the redeeming blood of the Lamb of God (Christ), Judgment Day WILL Come.

So YES, there is a Non-Judgment Day coming for some, but not because you put a bumper sticker on your car, but those that have put their faith in Christ to redeem them from (i.e. pay for) their sins and remove the charges against them that would cause them to stand before that final heavenly court.

If you are “In The World” and not in Christ, then Judgment Day IS coming, but you don’t have to face it.

Agreeing with a bumper sticker will not prevent it from coming. The question you have to ask yourself is “Will You Be Ready When It Comes??”
