Do you have your Life insured?
What do you plan for the future? Nothing is more surely than that
the time continues. Whatever that happen in the world, and whatever
that happen to us, days, weeks, months and years will continue as
usual. The time does not take an end, and we cannot avoid following
when the time continues. Therefore, we must plan for the future.
People want to have a good nursing and geriatric care as long as they
are living. Nevertheless, how would it be then? What that happens to
people after the death must be millions times more important than all
medical treatment and geriatric care. This questions, the most important
question in the life, people not even want to think of. How are people
really thinking before the death? It seems as most people think not at all.
They put this question forwad through their entire life without to decide.
They can read the Bible as much they want, but read it not. They live
their entire life, maybe some 70-80 years or more, without considering
how their existence will be in the eternity. The most important question
in the life, they leave at chance.
Life insurance they take out, if anything would happen. Nevertheless,
they dare live their entire life without any insurance for the eternity.
Life insurance is an incorrect name for it is not the life that is insured.
It is only economic insurance, and the dying one never gets any use
of it. The only life insurance, which works, is the salvation that God
gives through Jesus Christ. Joh. 1:12-13. When this life on the earth
takes the end, we have an eternal life in reserve.
Either it is hell, or it is not. Those who believe that any hell does not
exist and adjusts their life and way of thinking according to this theory,
they expose themselves for a tremendously big risk. Think if it is true
that is written in the Bible, then hell is also for real. None another has
warned so very much for hell as Jesus has done.
In Matt. 25:41, 46 Jesus tells about an everlasting fire, and everlasting
punishment. In Matt. 5:29-30 he says, "And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one
of
thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast
into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."
In Matt. 13:40-42 he says, "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned
in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall
send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things
that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
The rich man that Jesus speaks about in Luk. 16:19-31, he says, "I am
tormented in this flame." Think that he still today is left there! Rev.
20:14-15 tells about a lake of fire.
Many believe that after the death, there is nothing. When they die, all get
its end. Therefore, they are entirely unprepared on what that happens when
they die. It is no end at all. The time just continues, and we too. You go
either to heaven or to hell. You can decide, but you must do it before you
die. After the death it is too later. You either accept and receive the
salvation that God offers you through Jesus Christ, and get forgiveness
for all sin and go to heaven, or you reject God's offering, and want not to
believe his word, and goes to hell, and get full retribution for all sins.
The unbelief is the root to all other sins, and hinders people to receive
God's grace to salvation.
Many do not want to read this. They reject it and want not to think of
such things. They mean that it will be all right, straighten itself out when
they die. But then they cheat themselves. It arranges not at all. If you do
not accept the salvation through Jesus Christ while you live here on the
earth, you cannot get any more opportunity to salvation. It is too later
after the death.
God has offered us the salvation as a gift through Jesus Christ, (Eph.
2:8-9)
but people do not want to believe in Jesus and become saved. When they
die, they are entirely unprepared and end up in hell. Then it is too later
to
beg God for grace and salvation.
A reason that people do not want to believe in Jesus and be saved, is that
they do not want to become members in any denomination, but it is not at
all needed. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that a Christian shall belong
to any denomination, or that we shall go to church. The dividing of the
Christians in different churches and associations, this is entirely against
the Bible's teaching. But the members in the denominations and churches
are so ingrained and practised at this, so they comprehend this as entirely
normally. They think that they must be members and do not dare 'roam
freely'.
Membership cards of free-churches and member lists have nothing to do
with the Assembly of God. None can with help of the Bible's word explain
how churches and the denominations have come into existence. It is not
possible for they are not founded on God's words. The bible does not
mention a word about any free-churches. They are all religious black-
buildings.
God has had tolerance with people's ignorance and lack of wisdom, and
people have become saved through what that have been preached. The
time goes, and this age goes towards its conclusion. Jesus shall come and
take his people up to heaven, and they must be prepared to meet him.
Therefore, God cannot longer tolerate that his people are bound by false
doctrines. The truth about the Assembly of God must become preached,
so that all Christians become released from churches and denominations.
