If
Anyone Does Not Love The Lord,
That
Person Is Cursed.
Our
Lord, Come!
Scripture
1
Corinthians 16
22 If
anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed. Our Lord, come!
Observation
What
Dr. Waylon B. Moore told our men's small group this past Wednesday is
still stuck in my head. He said, “Every
person that has ever been born not a single one of them will ever die
… once you are born you never die, you will live forever …
forever either in Heaven or Hell.”
What
we have walking all around us are people that are either cursed or
blessed. We have spiritually dead people walking around us or people
who are spiritually alive; alive because they have placed their trust
and faith in Jesus Christ.
Those
that are without Christ are cursed to an Eternity in Hell, separated
from all of their loved ones that have a relationship with Jesus
Christ.
I
remember sharing the Gospel with a young military man named Greg and
he told me that he was going to go to Hell when he died.
I
said to him, “Greg, don't you realize that you will be forever
separated from your wife Sheila and your son Greg Jr.” (Sheila was
a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and his son Greg Jr was 5 years
old.)
I
guess he had not seriously ever thought about this before. I went
back to talk to Greg the next week and he told me this story. He
said, “After you talked to me and I realized that if I died that I
would be separated forever from Sheila and little Greg. I was scared.
I couldn't sleep for several nights. I kept thinking about what you
said about being forever separated from Sheila and Greg. Finally
I dropped to my knees and I prayed and I asked Jesus Christ to save
me.” … The last I heard from Greg and Sheila they were serving
the Lord as pastor in a church in our area. God is good!
Spiritually
dead or spiritually alive, separated or together for Eternity… the
choice is yours! Cursed or blessed?
Application
I
will always try to help people see their need for Jesus. How about
you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that there are many other men like Greg around me who
need a relationship with Jesus. Point me in their direction. Give me
the right words to share with them. Save them from an Eternity
separated from You and from being Eternally separated from all of
their loved ones. Open up their eyes so that they can see their
spiritual condition. Soften their hearts so that they can believe.
