Steady the Ship*This writing is a different one from chapter 38 in Steady the Ship book called “Those Unsure of Jesus”.
Have you ever noticed how the world has us chasing things that just distract us from the fact that this life is short, things that never fulfill us, and things that do nothing for us when we die? The things of this world are rubbish, and the state of this world will only continue to get worse as we near the end of this current world. Maybe you have never heard of this, but this current world will not continue on forever. It does have an end. (Revelation)
This world is lying about everything. The world is keeping truth from all of us about lots of things. Look how you can mention any person of any religion, except Jesus, and everything is fine. Have you noticed how upset people get when you mention Jesus? Look at how the only time it is okay to mention Jesus is when someone is using His name as a cuss word. Why is that? Because He is the Truth they are hiding from you (John 14:6). This world is at war with Him in plain sight, but they lie and say He doesn’t exist. Why so much effort to silence any talk about Him, why the effort in the lying that He doesn’t exist?
We are getting close to the end of this current world, where all of us will be on the other side of this life. We do not have much time left and those who are unsure of Jesus do not have time to wait anymore. The moment when we all are on the other side, we will see Him. All of us. He is real and He is coming back soon with His army to finish this war! (Revelation 19). The truth is that there is a God the only God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth (Isaiah 45:18). This world was not poofed into existence but was very intelligently and creatively designed by Him. He also created you and breathed breath inside of you, so you could be breathing today (Genesis 2:7). All of us have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), meaning we all have sinned (messed up, missed the mark) and deserve to go to hell, but He loves us all so much that He made a way so we don’t have to go to hell and this way is through Jesus Christ who is God’s only Son. Jesus came here to earth in the flesh, born through a virgin. He grew up, taught, and did miracles. He was wrongly accused, beaten, mocked, and murdered. He could have stopped that from happening but He allowed it and suffered, to take our place so we wouldn’t have to go to hell. It is a free gift to us, if we will take it. He will save you from hell if you let Him. (John 3:16, Matthew 1:18-25, Matthew 27)
If you are unsure if He is real, the best thing to do is to read His words. Read the Bible for 30 days consecutively and ask God to show you if He is real. If you are unsure if He is the Only way to eternal life, ask Him to show you (John 14:6). He says that if You seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Try it and see.
There is a reason that those of us that follow Him are so adamant with telling you about Him. Have you ever thought about that. Has it ever seemed that maybe people who follow Jesus know something that others don’t and they are desperately trying to tell what they know? Why do we live, breathe, and eat to follow after Jesus? We sought and found the Truth. He tells us the truth sets us free (John 8:32). We want you to be free too.
The Bible says that if we confess with our mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Confess, believe and follow Him. You can’t just confess and believe and then not follow. Read His words (the Bible), every day, and talk to Him all day every day, it is imperative.
Right now in this current world (I say current because Jesus says He will create a new one, Revelation 21:1), we see good and evil both in the world. Or another way of looking at it, is that we see both Heaven and hell in this earth. After this earth, there will not be both in the place that we go, there are only 2 places – Heaven or hell. It will either be completely good, or completely evil. Hell is the complete separation from Good, from God. Hell is where a person perishes. Jesus is the only way out of hell. The only way out of the mess that is going on in the world. The only way out of the pain. The only way out of the sorrow. The only way out of the confusion. The only way out of the fear. The only way out of the suck. He is the ONLY way period. He wants to be with you. He loves those who love Him (Proverbs 8:17). He will save you from hell if you let Him.
If you are unsure of Jesus Christ, the solution is this – Seek Him with your whole heart and you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Time is running out!
