For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. - Romans 14:11-12

There will come a day when we all will stand before God and have to answer for what we did with the life he gave us. Especially if we accepted or rejected God's gift of salvation thru his son Jesus Christ.For those who have trusted and obeyed it will be the greatest day ever. To finally realize the depth of love God has for you and he will reward you for your faithful service to his kingdom.While those who rejected his free gift of salvation will realize that love at that moment but it will be too late and they will be cast into hell for their rejection and selfishness.This is a harsh reality that's not easy to talk about but it needs to be shared or spoken when the opportunity presents itself. God is just and gives everyone multiple chances to receive this free gift. But the issue is we do not know when our life will end which makes every opportunity quiet possibly our last. Some might ask why Do I need God in the first place. Great question! The easiest answer is this. Our sin separates us from a holy God. All it takes is one simple thing like a lie that qualifies us as sinners and makes us guilty. But rather than leaving us alone and damned he has provided us with a solution. That solution is Jesus Christ who is Gods only son who willingly sacrificed his sinless life on the cross and died to redeem us from our sentence of guilt and punishment. We now have an opportunity to receive forgiveness and a brand new start by a God who loves us more than anyone who has ever lived. Peace and purpose will transform our lives and give us hope as we learn to walk out this new found life. I pray you have made this most important decision of your life.If not I also pray you would consider asking God to show you for yourself his gift of new life that sets us free from sin and eternal death. And gives us life abundantly now and even greater in heaven for all eternity.
