are you ready?

  Recently we were hit by a horrible storm. we were warned it was coming, and that flooding could ensue for low lying areas. we have experiecned flooding before,and did not want to have the losses again. we prepared.  our basement was emptied, and we could relax.
     I knew some people who said it would not be anything,and nothing would happen.
   They were wrong. we fled to another state to watch the storm from a distance. when we returned, there was a lake in our back yard, and very wet basement.
    many houses in our area were destroyed and are no longer livable.  the warnings were there, and many people did not heed the warnings.
    Listen, thereis a warning now. it is in your heart. do you hear it?
     the warning says that if you don't acccept christ, you will end up in a flood of fire. Will you heed the warning? will you prepare for the future by accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour today? by living his way, and not your own?
     if you are ready to make the most important descision you will ever make?  if you are ready to accept christ, i will tell you how.
         1) realize you have sinned "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. " (Romans3:23)
        2) realize that you cannot save yourself "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God  not by works, lest any man should boast."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
         3) realize your descision to follow Christ means surrendering your life to Him , to serve Him and obey Him "If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed." (John 8:31)
        4) confess your sins to Jesus, tell Him that you dedicate your life to Him, and that you accept His gift of salvation. "that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)
    I will not leave you a prayer to say here, because I believe what you say should come from you,not a paper.  But do remember to close with Jesus' name. He said: "And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13)
    Be sure to share the gospel with others too! "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:47)
     Christ will bring you  ever lasting joy, if you would receive him today " Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." (Matthew 29-30)

       Remember, Christ alone can save you from the flood of fire to come. Will you trust Him today?
