Gospel Meeting 23/03/2014

Mr. Scott Armstrong read 1 Thessalonians 4 vs.13-18
We all have a future!!! it is all the way to Eternity. Where does your future lie? Our plans are uncertain, but Eternity is certain. A Christian's funeral although sad is a celebration and their grave temporary. There is hope for the believer, but despair for the unbeliever. Death is not the end!!
The lord's coming is imminent but not necessarily immediate, it could be today. There is no timescale but it will be when God's purpose is complete. It is only for those who believe, will you be left behind?
When He comes it will be the end of the day of opportunity - 2 Corinthians 6 vs.2  now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Are you ready don't live Eternity with regret. Believe that Jesus the Son of God died and rose again He bore God's complete judgement for sin including yours. He lived a life of compassion and power, He is God but He came to die, there is no one to compare to Him.
Galatians 2 vs.20 the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
He values you and me but our sin keeps us out of Heaven.
We look at sin from our own point of view and not God's point of view we can never meet God's standard, He sees your heart and yet loves you.
He sent His Son to die in our place and if we put our faith in Him God sees us as righteous and fit for Heaven.
He entered death and rose again victorious, because He lives we can live, because He has entered Heaven we can enter Heaven.
The Lord Himself will descend into the sky to take us to be with Him (The Rapture).
A shout, the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God - risen, gathered, and we move on to Heaven.
Satan is the Prince of the power of the air but has already been defeated.
There is a definite possibility that this will happen before we die are you ready, but death is like sleep to the believer.
Will you be left behind to face judgement the only people who will go are those who are saved those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter how good you think you are there will be may "good" people left behind, don't be left behind trust Christ.
These words will continually comfort you.
