Matthew 16:24 If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

 

Jesus is the Way to our Heavenly Father. He is the ONLY Way. We cannot continue to live in this world and practice sin and expect to make Heaven our home. God does not reward disobedience. Jesus told us what is required of us. If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:24-26)

 

The above Words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ must be taken to heart. God’s Word is Truth. God means what He says and He says what He means. Anyone who desires to follow Christ MUST lay down their own life and deny himself. That is the method God designed for Salvation and He will not back down from it.

 

Anyone who refuses to lay down his own life and deny himself will lose his life in the end. That means he will not be spending eternity in Heaven. Rather, he will spend all of eternity in Hell. There is no other place and there are no more chances after death. Once we take our last breath here on this earth, our eternal destiny is set in stone.

 

The things of this world are nothing compared to spending all of eternity in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy will try to convince you that God doesn’t really mean what His Word says. This is a lie straight from Hell. It’s the same lie he told Eve in the Garden of Eden.

 

Read the Word of God. Read the Words spoken by Jesus and written by the Apostle Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and James. Read the New Testament and believe every word because God does mean what He says. He has made a Way for you to be Redeemed in His eyes. This is His Will for you but the choice is yours to make. What will you give in exchange for your soul? What will it profit you to gain all the wealth and riches of this world and spend eternity in Hell?

 

This is a no-brainer, my friends. God made a Way for you; One Way. That Way is faith in Christ. I suggest you take it.

 

God sent Jesus to………..turn the tide ……….in this world!
