Do You Know Anyone Famous Who Was Born On Your Birthday?

Do you know anyone famous who was born on your birthday?

The famous actor John Wayne was born on May 26, 1907 and died June 11, 1979. Everyone has lived through a June 11th and through all the other the 364 days in the year. One of those days is the day you were born, and the other is the day you will die, but which day is it? Have you ever thought that you have lived through that day many, many, times and never knew it?

So we all have two very important days; the day that we arrive in this life, and the day that we depart from this life. The most important question is; what happens after that second date? Do you know?? If you do not or are unsure, READ ON...

Here is the thing...you have to make a decision about some key important beliefs. For example, do you believe that God Almighty - the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob - sent Jesus Christ to die for your sins, and that believing and accepting of what he did will save your soul?

That’s it...the ball is in your court! You have 100% freedom to either reject or accept Christ. Now when that day of the year comes around and your time on earth expires, are you ready to accept your eternal fate? Don’t just think about it - ACT!

That calendar day will come...(someday). Please be ready and do not delay.

Make that decision TODAY, because the day you ASSUME will happen tomorrow may never come, and as Hebrews 9:27 urgenly concludes and warns all says:

“Then Cometh THE JUDGEMENT”

There’s a popular idea in the world that there are many ways to god, that all religions essentially teach the same thing and that by being good and living life best you can is all you need to do.

The problem however is that pesky guy Jesus!

While almost all religions revere Jesus Christ as a wise man, prophet, and great teacher, he made a statement that negates all other paths, when He said:

“I am THE WAY The Truth and The Life.” John 14:6

You see, according to Christ there are really only two ways we can take — His Way...Or Another. He also said “Follow Me” and that way is along a narrow road that leads to eternal life, or you can choose to take the broad path that “Many Will Follow” that points in a different direction to destruction. (Matthew 7:13)

Both do not — Or Cannot — arrive at the same destination.

Friend, you are free to choose which way you will go in this life and follow along the path you think is best. It may not be Christianity, and that choice is entirely up to you. No one can make that decision for you, but at some point there is a Time To DECIDE to choose one path or another. The crucial word here is TIME because when your life clock points to the last hour, minute, and second it will be too late to change the Final Destination of your direction.

TODAY is the Day of Salvation. NOW is the Time.

What PATH have you decided to follow?

I once heard that it is possible to make the explosive TNT (Nitroglycerin) if you mix just the right amount of manure (nitrogen) and butter (glycerin.) Now I’m not sure if that that is possible but assuming this was true, it would indeed make a powerful combination.

This idea of mixing two key ingredients together to form a powerful element is at the heart of today’s scripture lesson, and like this fabled union of nitrogen and glycerin, the act of mixing the WORD and FAITH when applied is Real Spiritual Dynamite!

Hebrews 4:2 also says that when the Good News (i.e. The Gospel) is spoken to even those that that have the FAITH to BELIEVE, it’s message is indeed DYNAMIC! In the original language the word “power” in the following verse literally is our English word for 'DYNAMITE!'

“The gospel (WORD) of Christ…is the POWER of God to salvation for everyone who believes (FAITH)” Romans 1:16

Friend if you are just casually listening or reading the Word of God and not mixing it with FAITH, the power of what God can and will do in your life will not manifest. So take the Word of God and believe it, act upon it, and apply it fully mixed with faith in what it says. Then and only then will you experience the POWER that will be unleashed by God for you “to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

We love our little dog Missy, however she’s never really been house trained and as many times that we let her out to water the yard, she seems to decide at random times to baptize the carpet or couch with a touch of yellow to our aggravation and frustration. Nevertheless after a little 'time out,' her mommy and daddy forgive her and she is once again back in our good graces .

Likewise when we disobey God, he too gets frustrated with us - but here’s the thing, His FORGIVENESS is always available to us because the Bible promises us that...

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ” 1 John 1:9Just as our little dog occasionally makes mistakes - so do we - but it still is no excuse to keep on doing wrong. So just as we forgive and love our little dog over and over again, even more so God will likewise always forgive us over and over again too...and He is even More Forgiving than us! Despite our mistakes and disobedience, He is always there to pick us up when we fall down and love and forgive us.

So if God can forgive US, and We can forgive our DOG, then We also need to practice the same repeated forgiveness and love towards OTHERS.

So next time somebody does a 'boo-boo' on your life...FORGIVE THEM!

As descendants of Adam we all carry the curse of sin on our lives. Because sin came into the world so did death, and after death a doorway will lead to one of two places. Either to a blessed, joyful, eternal life in heaven or complete separation from God forever and in hell.

What separates the two depends entirely on how your SIN is accounted for.

You see on our own, the sin debt accumulated in this life is too much for us to carry and at the end reckoning there is no way you can pay that amount due. The Bible says that “The wages (what we will get paid for) of SIN is DEATH” (Romans 6:23a) and this is everyone’s natural fate, but the good news is reading the end of that verse!:

“… but the GIFT of God is Eternal Life In Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:23b

You see God in His loving mercy made a provision for all under the curse of sin by paying in full our sin debt, and he paid it with something more precious than all the riches in the world. He paid it with his own blood.

Friend, which of these two eternal paths are you walking? The path of payment for sin, or receiving the free gift of removal of sin? Christ can and will do that for you. It is His free gift to all those that believe in Him and repent of their sins.

One day, this debt will come due.

Will you choose to have your sins converted to righteousness or receive the just payment for sin?
