Your money or your life?

"Your money or your life!" What do you do? There is a drug addict with a
knife, who is high, out of his mind, in front of you and your family, you
only have seconds to respond. What do you do? You and your family are all
Christian's. One more thing, you have a gun. Do you shoot to kill or to
wound? There are clear Bible verses that say what will happen to each of
you if you die. For the believer, we will go to heaven. We count on verses
like *Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved.* and also *2 Cor 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to
be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.* and understand
where we as believers will go when we die. What about the drug addict, or
just the pagan sinner, do you realize what awaits them when they die? Hell
awaits them, eternal separation from God. We can reflect on the one person
in scripture that was physically saved from death. Think about the fact
that Jesus went to the cross willingly for Barabbas. Jesus knew that He
would have to be treated like Barabbas, so Barabbas could have the
opportunity to be treated like Jesus. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe,
because we owe a debt we cannot pay. There are many that we all know, that
are going to end up in hell. May we remember the words written in *2
Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.* Decisions
between life and death are never easy, I hope when the time comes, and I
need to make the decision, that I have enough courage to stand in front,
share the gospel, no matter the outcome. Brethren, Jesus loves you and I
love you too!
