Gospel
"False christians and false preachers will appear. They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive...even those whom God has chosen. Listen! I've told you this before it happens." ~Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:24-25)
Do you ever wonder about the end-times? The moment when all will end! In lieu of the movie blockbuster, "2012" it makes anyone wonder what will come of this world at that specific time. My next question to you: Are you certain and sure of where you will go when the world does come to an end? What evidence are you relying on that can give you peace of your final destination? Take a peek into what Jesus had to say to his students about the end-times:
Jesus with gentle, yet stern love forewarns his disciples of the "end-time", and he gave them a slew of signs to look for when he comes for the second time. [I highly recommend you read Matthew 24 to see all that he tells them] He says in verse 4 of Matthew 24, "...see to it that no one misleads you..." He was warning them of the false christians that would come claiming to represent him, but he says of these false christians, "[they] will mislead many." He also states in verse 11 of the same chapter that, "many false preachers will arise and will mislead many." Why will this happen, why will many be misled, and why will many fall for it? In verse 12 of the same chapter he explains why, "because sin is increased, [and] most people's love will grow cold [and hard]."
So how do we combat sin, how do we combat love growing cold? Jesus gives us the answer in Matthew 24:45-47; "Who here qualifies for the job of overseeing the kitchen? A person the Master can depend on to feed the workers on time each day. Someone the Master can drop in on unannounced and always find him doing his job. A God-blessed man or woman, I tell you." In other words, we as true believers must all be responsible in doing the job he set out for us to do: feed the people! Yet with what do we feed the people who are hungry and thirsty? We feed them the gospel of Christ. We feed them the most powerful sustenance God has authorized us to serve: the message of the cross, the message of Jesus beaten, crucified, dying for our sins, and ultmately Jesus resurrecting from dead, to finally conquer sin and eternal death! THIS is the power of God that sustains his people whom he has chosen! If you are a true, genuine believer of God, then you are ordered by God to continually serve the people of this whole world the meal he has prepared: the gospel!
Do you even realize what Jesus did for you on the cross? It wasn't only to die for your sins! He fervently averted God's anger, God's wrath toward our sinfulness (Psalm 5:5-6) and swallowed it all up. He swallowed helll for you! God's wrath will still come; for those who have and will reject God's message of his son! But for those who have repented [turned away from their sinful lifestyle - in thoughts, emotions, and will/desires] for their sins and believed in Jesus Christ; God himself will cover you, as it were, not with his wrath but his love and save you from what is to come: His Wrath to all sin!
So I plead with you to consider, and examine if you are in THE Faith! Are you merely seeking for signs and wonders, the sensational things of God; or are YOU SEEKING FOR THE GOD WHO LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT HE DEVOURED HELL FOR YOU? The power of God unto salvation of your soul from hell is the gospel of his Son. Nothing else will cause you to believe in Him, no miracle, no sign, no wonder, and no experience will produce saving faith in you! Saving faith will come by the oral instruction of the gospel: the message of Christ. You are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, and Christ alone!
