A Car At A Stoplight Had A Bumper Sticker That Simply Said 'Non-Judgment Day Is Coming.' As This Fellow

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??”

A crew on a deep sea fishing boat sadly saw a whale struggling as it was ensnared in a large fishing net. The web covered almost its entire body and was wrapped around the tail and fins making it difficult to swim or dive.

The crew carefully pulled alongside with hooks and knives in an attempt to free the struggling animal, but each time they reached down to help, the whale violently resisted their efforts. After several attempts to save the whale, the caring crew sadly pulled away only to watch the whale continuing to try to free itself in vain from this deadly snare which would certainly guarantee its death.

This is a perfect picture of people in this life. We are all born into a web of sin that ensnares us that will also eventually lead us to our demise. The boat that comes alongside to free us from our bonds is God, yet the natural tendency of people likewise is to resist God’s help.

Just like that obstinate whale, you too can choose to fight against being saved, but there is no escape from this web of sin without the help of the great “Fisher of Men” - the LORD Jesus Christ.

Before The Web Of SIN ends your life, let God free you and you will not only live in this life, but in the next life in eternity. Let Him come close to you and simply ask Him to help you - AND HE WILL.

Friend, will you choose to do that today? Or will you resist and let that net drown you?

What would happen if you fell out of a plane? Well, the falling part through the air might be exciting…the crash landing — Not So Much!

In this illustration, SIN is the Falling and HELL is the Crash, but if you are saved from the falling, then there is no consequence of the crash! This is just how salvation works.

You see, salvation is not about God saving us from hell — although that IS the end result. Rather He is Saving Us From (the fall of) Sin by His love and grace for us.

Sadly many people choose instead to ' fall into sin' and the Bible says that they will indeed “Enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season ” (Hebrews 11:25) However it’s not the fall, but the crash at the end of the fall that kills them. Sin was just the vehicle that got them there.

Friend, no matter how far you have fallen through the dark sky of sin, God can and WILL snatch you and pull you back into the safety of Salvation. It is never too late to avoid the crash into Hell. All you need do is ask and trust him to save you and HE WILL.

What kind of landing are you headed for? Is it a smooth landing in heaven or a certain crash to Hell?

It’s your choice to fly solo, or to fly with the Saviour.

As we have been GIVEN GRACE we can show and GIVE GRACE to others in many simple, meaningful ways:

Grace through a MEANINGFUL TOUCH:Isaac blessed Jacob in Genesis 27:26 saying to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.” Through the God-given gift of touch, we can show love and care towards others.

Grace through SPEAKING A GOOD WORD: to those around us. Think about it – just as you would like to hear good thoughts spoken to you, return that same grace to a friend or stranger. My friend, we need to remember that graceful words need to be spoken.

Grace by how much we VALUE OTHERS: God shows us to Value His grace – not because we’ve done anything to earn it – but because He loves us so much. When we bless others, then part of our job is to encourage them in their life’s journey and help them see and find God’s plan for them.

Showing Grace is an Active Commitment that involves not only the blessing, but the responsibility that goes with praying for those whom God has put on your heart. Granted, sometimes it may not always be easy to show grace, and may even be painful in some circumstances, but as we have been freely given the Gift of Grace, so Give it to Others.

May the Grace of the Lord Bless You and Keep You Safe In The Palm Of His Hand in 2023...And SHARE your GRACE with others!

Everyone is in a hurry these days, and while people are rushing to and fro, they may want to reconsider the direction they’re heading instead of how fast they are going.

The reality is that we are all rushing to one final destination, and that is that is — life as we know it is going to end at some point. Instead, we’re rushing down the street of life without considering how important it is to safely arrive at our FINAL DESTINATION.

The prophet Amos reminded the Jews how God miraculously saved them from the Egyptians and through the Red Sea, yet in the years following were 'swift of foot' to make haste in their own direction instead of moving towards God.

Friend, are you laying skid marks rushing towards things you think are important? If so consider it’s not how fast or how much you do in this life that is important, but setting your heart on where you are going and how you are going to get there.

Christ is the way. The Bible is the map.

Are you rushing towards God, or to somewhere else?

Just like the transmission selector in a car, people have one of three positions about Jesus Christ.

Either they are in NEUTRAL, meaning they have no feeling or interest one way or another, about Christ or spiritual things, they’re in REVERSE and are moving away from Christ or they are in DRIVE moving towards him. Now think about this for a moment — because each of these is a choice.

Just as we get into our cars and place our hands on the gear selector, in the physical world we have to make a conscious choice which gear to select depending where we want to go. The same is true in your spiritual (or lack of) spiritual life as well.

Life is full of choices, and the most important choice you can make is to determine what will happen after your physical life on earth is over. While you can be right about thousands of things in this life, If You Are Wrong About Christ, It Doesn’t Matter What Else You Are Right About.

Friend, you need to make a choice about Christ. Will you make a choice to stay neutral, move away from him or move towards him?
