He is coming

He is coming
“He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Revelations 22:20.
Billy Graham said,
“The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation... But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.” Billy Graham.
I am a Christian. I make no apologies I believe in God. I believe God will one day judge the world.
The apostle Paul speaking in Athens said,
“In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.  
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:30,31.
Prior to the birth of Christ the writer of Ecclesiastes stated,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole  duty  of man. 
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
The only question remains is will you meet God as your Saviour or your Judge?
As a Christian I believe you have a choice here and now. It come down to who you think Jesus is and what his purpose on this earth was for,
Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
 but to save the world through him.” 
John 3:16,17.
                 Jesus said,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through me.”  
John 14:6
  Paul writing to the Romans said,
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came 
by Christ Jesus.”
 Romans 3:23,24.
      Sinning is falling short of what God wants for you life. Sin separates us from God.
 The apostle John noting,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins 
and purify us from all unrighteousness.  
If we claim we have not sinned, 
we make him out to be a liar
 and his word has no place in our lives.” 
1 John 1:9,10.
Paul make it clear salvation is not something we can work for. Paul writing to the Ephesians stating,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
 not by works, so that no one can boast.”  
 Ephesians 2:8,9
Ultimately salvation is an act of faith, Hebrews stating,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, 
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”
Hebrews 11:6
Faith defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 
and certain of what we do not see.” 
 Hebrews 11:1
What do you believe, because your eternal resting place depends on it.
Please think about it.
