Gospel Meeting 28/10/2018

John’s Gospel ch17 vs17
Hebrew’s ch10 vs31

“God’s Word Says”

Today, countless people mock God and His Word – a most dangerous thing to do!
Their attitude is often “have you nothing better to do than to preach that rubbish”.
How many in our land would say they still fear God?

Many people simply believe what they have made up in their own hearts and minds – often which is compatible with their own lifestyles. It is usually without any foundation!

Christian people the world over believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God - infallible and completely trustworthy.

“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost”.
-  2nd Peter ch1 vs20 – 21.

In this land at present, there is a severe lack of warning about God’s Judgement Day which is approaching. Countless people are refusing to accept that they are fully responsible for the way they live their lives, but nevertheless, it will have eternal consequences for each one.
Every person will spend a never ending eternity in either Heaven or Hell.

What Almighty God has said matters infinitely more than what mortal man thinks!

Mankind has invented many ways in which one can get into Heaven, but these are all lies and have deceived millions of people. The devil is the father of lies and loves to give false hope!

So what does God’s truth say…?
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief”.
- 1st Timothy ch1 vs15.

Who are the sinners, you may ask? 
Dear friend, that is me, you, and everyone else that has ever lived, apart from God’s Son, Jesus Christ. He is completely sinless!

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God…”
- Romans ch3 vs23.

To disobey God is sin - and we are all totally guilty!
All sin is an abhorrent offence against Holy God, our Creator, and if our sins are not dealt with and forgiven, it will end in us being forever separated from God in a lost eternity.

“And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement”.
- Hebrews ch9 vs27.

God’s Judgement Day is an absolutely fact, and each one of us must make sure that we are forgiven and have made our peace with God before it is too late forever!

Thankfully there is ONE WAY that we can be forgiven – God provided His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour of sinners.
This was foretold by God, centuries before Jesus Christ descended from Heaven and became a Man …
 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting”.
- Micah ch5 vs2.

The “child” was born in Bethlehem, but the “Son” was from everlasting!

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”.
- Luke’s Gospel ch2 vs11.

This ONE WAY requires a personal faith in who The Lord Jesus Christ is, and in His atoning sacrifice for our sins at Calvary’s Cross.
Come to Jesus Christ, and being sorry for your sins, ask His forgiveness and invite Him into your heart and life as Lord and Saviour.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast”.
- Ephesians ch2 vs8 – 9.

Friend, how is your track record going to look on Judgement Day?
You cannot save yourself!
There will be no debate!
 Now, today, is when you can be forgiven and saved.
How many countless people will die in this world before tomorrow comes and find themselves in eternity?
What an eternal tragedy to die in your sins!

Heaven… So what does God say about it …?
The Lord Jesus Christ is there, and so will every person who have put their personal faith and trust in Him!

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”.
- John’s Gospel ch14 vs3.

There will be no sin! No tears! No pain! No worries! No mental illness! No death!

“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love him”.
- 1 Corinthians ch2 vs9.

Friend, by faith in the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, I will be spending my eternity there!  – will you?

Only ONE WAY – God’s way, not the devils lies!

“… I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”.
- John’s Gospel ch14 vs6.

Hell … So what does God say about it …?
It is the only other eternal destination.
For the unsaved, those who have not accepted Jesus Christ’s offer of forgiveness through His sinless sacrifice on The Cross.

There shall be weeping and nashing of teeth.
Utter blackness and forever separated from God.
An eternity of torment and punishment for unforgiven sins.
It is the most awful real place and to be avoided at all costs.

Oh what could have been, if only one had repented and believed the Gospel!
Friend, will you be there?

Each of us are in full need of the only Saviour of sinners!
Please accept the love of Jesus Christ and His Salvation He freely offers you tonight, before it is too late.
Do not be deceived by the devils lies, but heed the abiding truth of God’s Word.

Any person may only be a heartbeat away from one of these two eternal destinations.
Please make your decision for Christ tonight!

1.
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free! 

Chorus.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

2.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

3. 
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

(Hymn by H. Lemmel)
