“He who believes is not condemned but he who does not believe stands
condemned.” Jn3:18
I
once strained my back while bench pressing weights. There was too much weight on
the bar and my spotter was not paying attention. My arms shook. Sweat dripped
down my forehead. As moments went by, the weight seemed to multiply. I grew
weaker and weaker. At last my spotter turned around and saved me. I was so thankful
to no longer be under that pressure. That is how people live under God’s wrath
everyday.
Guilt from God is abundant in the
world. The Christian does not wait to go to Heaven before eternal life begins.
We enjoy the peace, love, forgiveness and purpose of the Kingdom of God here,
now, today. Likewise, those outside of God’s covenant suffer a foretaste of the
Hell to come. Already, currently they are under the wrath of God.
Unbelievers
are constantly empty. They long. They feel bad because they are missing
something, better yet, they are missing Someone. Crimes have been committed.
They have no lawyer. Confusion, shame, and anger are all felt because they are
under a legal sentence. Offense to a holy God is a fearful thing.
Simple
belief changes everything, if they would only acknowledge God. A mustard seed
of faith would rearrange their status.
Be
bold to tell others what Jesus has done for you. Do not be afraid. If you could
save a man on death row, if you could make him innocent, if justice could be
served and they could be spared, wouldn’t you try? What harm could you do?
Those living in darkness are going to Hell. They are living in death. Any
attempt to bring them out of it, is well worth it. God can use our efforts.
Only He is the Ressurector. So try and see if God would work.
