AUGUST 27, 2024 … A DAY THE LORD HATH MADE!

August 27, 2024 by Dr. Mike Bagwell

I just noticed that on this day in history, August 27, back in the year 1883 … the earth was shaken by what is likely (so far anyway) the greatest explosion she has ever experienced!

Yes, a volcano off the coast of Indonesia erupted with terrific force. Believed to have released as much as 200 megatons of TNT power! It instantly killed 40,000 people or more! The encyclopedias say that 70% of the island on which the volcano was located evaporated that day!

What a detonation, called Krakatoa!

And yet even that pales in comparison to a conflagration the world yet faces! Simon Peter, the Apostle of our Lord, writes … “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2nd Peter 3:10)

The elements?

The very building blocks of creation!

Will “melt” when the Lord returns.

In fact, He will create a new earth, to match His new heaven!

And every day we get 24 hours closer to that Event!

My question today …

ARE YOU READY?

Do you have peace with God?

Do you know Jesus Christ God’s Son personally?

If you are wondering “how” … several Bible verses teach us the mechanics of being “saved” by the Grace of God.

Acts 16:30-31 … “Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

Romans 10:13 … “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

John 1:12 … “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

Romans 10:9-10 … “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

And my favorite, because these are the Word of Jesus … John 5:24

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

Amen!

Escape the deadly, catastrophic Fireworks of the future. Trust Jesus today …

A BETTER VIEW …

August 22, 2024 by Dr. Mike Bagwell

I just came across this quote: “Don’t be afraid of death. It is the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.”

That’s a politically correct view these days, I suspect. Life is a game. Death has no horrors. (Implied, there is no afterlife.) The noun “stake” might even suggest life as a “gamble” too.

Mankind without God would say a hearty “Amen” to such philosophy. Godless philosophy anyway.

But I think I have a better view. Death not as a gamble but as an appointment. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27, the New Testament.

Death as a time of reckoning, not simply a shot in the dark. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Death as a penalty the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son, experienced in my stead! So that I might never die (spiritually) and enjoy an eternity of Bliss in Heaven! “Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died FOR (in our stead) us.” 1st Thessalonians 5:9-10

This too: “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3

“In due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6

And on that matter of fearing death … “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthains 15:55 (Jesus has robbed death of its sting! He conquered death the moment He came out of the tomb!)

And the Lord clearly promises to those who have trusted Him as Saviour … “Because I live, ye shall live also.” John 14:19

Now, how does one become a Christian, a follower of Jesus, a victor in Christ?

Jesus answers that question best of all. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

I think I’ve said enough.

Are you saved?

Don’t gamble with your life.

Don’t gamble with death.

Trust Jesus!
