DON'T sell out

 


JESUS pointed out:

Matthew 16:26-27

King James Version

26 For what is a man profited, 

if he shall gain the whole world, 

and lose his own soul? 

or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come 

in the glory of his Father with his angels; 

and then he shall reward every man 

according to his works.


Will life improve on earth?

Probably not.

For many don't believe in JESUS.

Many have not accepted Him.

Many mock Scripture.

Many have twisted His WORD.

And many live this way:


On politicians -- anything for a vote.

On businessmen -- anything for a buck.

On churches -- anything for a follower.

On people -- anything for a like.

On tech -- anything for superiority.


At what COST your SOUL?

We must not sell out.

Even if the world has.

We must acknowledge that all come from GOD.

That all power belongs to JESUS.

That all teachings come from SPIRIT.

That the Rapture can happen any moment.

Would you be ready to meet up with the LORD?

Why would you take a chance on the Tribulation?

Most will perish.

All is preparation now.

As the angel told apostle John:

Revelation 22:10-11

King James Version

10 And he saith unto me, 

Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: 

for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: 

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.


Revelation 22:14-15

King James Version

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

that they may have right to the tree of life, 

and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.


In the same chapter, JESUS declared:

Revelation 22:12-13

King James Version

12 And, behold, 

I come quickly; 

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end, 

the first and the last.


JESUS also warned us:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


Why would we want to keep on sinning?

Why won't we take instruction from the LORD?

Why do we remain the way we are?

Why do we stretch the LORD's love, and patience?

Why do we boast about our sinfulness?

A true born again can't, and won't.

We aim to be with JESUS when He calls us:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Our daily work reflects the presence of CHRIST in us.

There is no other way to live, love, or work.

Our sufficiency is in CHRIST.

It must all be JESUS.
