Precious
soul,
The
Lord delights in you!
How greatly
is His love expressed
in giving to
us our children,
loaned to us
from the Lord Himself
to stay with
us for a while.
So precious they are to God!
In a short
time we in turn must give them back to Him.
The greatest
gift we can leave with them
is a legacy
found in Jesus Christ.
Yet, so many
times we get caught up in that which is urgent
that we
forget what is important.
Have we led
our family to Christ?
Are they
assured of a place in heaven?
At times we don't even want to think of it,
for it
saddens our hearts to say goodbye.
Yet, each
one of us must let go of those we love,
for death is
an unfortunate part of life.
Those who
place their faith in Jesus
will have
their home in heaven.
But the soul
of the unbeliever will plunge in a state of terror,
as hell
rises up to meet him!
All throughout the scriptures we are warned of the reality of hell.
Its pages
cry out to us repeatedly to turn from our sinful ways
while there
is still forgiveness and hope.
Yet, so many people are disillusioned into thinking
that they
don't mind going to hell since all their friends will be there.
Soul, let me
in on you a secret...
"There
are no friendships in hell."
No friend
who understands the agony of hell
would desire
any of their friends to go there.
If we could
lift the lid of the pit of hell even for a moment
and see the
souls of the lost dying in their sins, it would make us vomit!
We would run
to warn our loved ones, lest they also come to this place.
Think of your children...
Have you
wept for their souls?
Weep for
them now, for what good will your tears do
at the
judgement when they are plunged into it's fire?
Could you
bear the thought of seeing your children
knowing that
you have failed to warn them?!
Break our
hearts, oh God!
Let our
tears flow while they are still ours to hold,
pulling our
loved ones out of the pit of damnation
to bring
them to Christ who can save them.
Tonight, I
challenge you to gather your family together
and lead
their souls to Christ.
It will be
the greatest investment that you'll ever make.
One that
will last for eternity.
Now
is the time...
Today
is the day of Salvation.
The Scripture says,
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
~
Romans 3:23
"That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou
shalt be saved."
~ Romans 10:9
Don't
fall asleep without Jesus
until
you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if
you would like to receive the gift of eternal life
first you
must believe in the Lord.
You have to
ask for your sins to be forgiven
and put your
trust in the Lord.
To be a believer in the Lord, ask
for eternal life.
There's
only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus.
That's God's
wonderful plan of salvation.
You can
begin a personal relationship with Him
by praying
from your heart a prayer such as the following:
"Dear Lord, I am sinner.
I'm sorry
for my sins.
I want to
turn from my sin.
I receive
Jesus as my Savior;
I confess
Him as my Lord.
From now on
I want to follow Him.
In Jesus'
name, Amen."
If you have received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior
after
reading this invitation, please let us know.
We would
love to hear from you. Your first names are sufficient.
We'll leave
the light on for you...
