Some are trying to figure out how they will survive during this economic crisis.

Others know that they are smart enough to deal with anything so they don’t worry.

Then the people of the Kingdom of God have a sense of urgency. Why?  

READ 1 John 2:17 – The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

READ Ps. 2:12 – Do homage to (Kiss) the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

 

The People of God are Violent against:

            The power of darkness and anything that exalts itself

            The seductiveness of the enemy

            The common pleasures of the world

 

We must be fervently against our loved ones entering hell. We need an overwhelming burden for the lost, especially our families.

 

There is a class of people who think they can just slide into the Kingdom without Jesus reigning over them.

            What happens to those who choose to reject the Kingdom?

            In Luke 19:27 Jesus says, “But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.”

 

Biblical Salvation is seen as a race to win. See Philippians 2:12.

We must fight so we will finish that we might keep. See 2 Timothy 4:7 – 8.

In the end, the question everyone will have to answer is, “What did I do with Jesus?”

 

 Four imperatives for a life in Christ:

1.       Come Out! See Revelation 18:4 and 2 Cor. 6:17.

2.      Cut it off!

3.      Come Away! See Song of Songs 2:10.

4.      Cry Out! See Isaiah 46: 6, 9-10.

 

Let Romans 10:14 – 15 be our mandate. Preach the Word!
