How much time do you spend watching TV? How much time do you spend reading books and magazines? How much time do you spend on Internet? On facebook, myspace, youtube, news sites, reading emails or chatting? How much time do you spend texting? How much time do spend with God?
What will you tell God at the judgment if he asks you why you don’t know Him? Do you really think you can bargain with the God of the universe? You realize you can die any second, everyday in America 6,171 people die. Thats 1 person that dies every 14 seconds. It’s very easy to assume that if you die you’re going to heaven because you’re a ‘good’ person or because you’ve asked Jesus in your heart. But the bible says that heaven will be inhabited by people who know and love God.
When you die you will stand before God and he will flash back your life right in front of your eyes as if on a television screen. If you do not know Him you will have no excuse for that..
I pray that you are seeking God above everything in your life. And if that is something that is hard for you to do, then pray and ask God to make you treasure Him more than you treasure anything in your life. Ask Him to make you love Him more than you love anything in your life. Only through Him can we come to Him. Jesus gave His life to us so He could live His life through us..
Matthew 7:21-23 – “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Matthew 7:36 – Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment.
Hebrews 11:6 – And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
