Don't die in sin..........

Set your life in order for tomorrow you may die. Have you made things right with everyone? Have you paid the debts you owe? Is your sin forgiven and abandoned? One of my more difficult responsibilities being a Pastor is helping people prepare to die. Most people just fly through life and never even think about the end until it's too late. You and I are not sure when our time will come, so be ready. Pay the debt, give and receive forgiveness, stop sinning and ask God to make you his. NOW!

S.       13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

O.      Death and Judgment came because of Adams disobedience as pardon and justification comes through the obedience of Jesus.

A.     To please God and honor the gift extended to me through Jesus (his death on the cross to pay for my sin) I will embrace faith, abandon my fleshly desires, learn obedience to prepare myself to stand before him and be justified, whole and redeemed.

    P.       Father in Heaven; thank you for loving man and sending your best gift to redeem our souls.              Cleans me afresh and make me new as I rejoice in your favor and grace. Amen.
