Death is coming.\u00a0 For some of us, we can see the dust on the horizon rising from the wheels of his chariot, the time is so close.\u00a0 For others, the air is clear and still, there is no dust…, yet we are filled with apprehension, because we know he is coming.\u00a0 We ask ourselves…, will we see the dust or will we straighten up from some unfinished task as he pulls into the yard?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Death is coming.\u00a0 It’s not a question of if he is coming, but when?\u00a0 His chariot wheels are already turning, his horse is lathered……and there is dust…, we just can’t see it yet.\u00a0 He is on the way.\u00a0 The only thing to do is get prepared.\u00a0 Death will arrive shortly.\u00a0 Are you ready?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Death is sin’s offspring.\u00a0 God told Adam in the Garden of Eden\u00a0“of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17\u00a0 \u00a0But Adam ate of it, he disobeyed and death came.\u00a0 Death is separation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Physical death is separation from the body.\u00a0 Spiritual death is separation from God.\u00a0 Both came at Adam’s sin….spiritual death first and physical death following.\u00a0 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As sinners we owe a payment for our sin, “For the wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23.\u00a0 It must be paid.\u00a0 If we pay it ourselves we must not only suffer physical death, but spiritual death as well.\u00a0 Spiritual death is the second death, which is eternal separation from God in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone Revelation 20:14-15.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The gospel (good news) is that someone has already made the payment for us and offers that payment and its benefits to us as a free gift.\u00a0 “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…” Romans 5:8.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“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 <\/em>(delivered from sin’s penalty).\u00a0 \u00a0For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Romans 10:9&10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus speaking……”I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.\u00a0 Believest thou this?”\u00a0 John 11:25&26<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Will you receive God’s payment for your sin?\u00a0 Will you receive His Son as your own personal Saviour?\u00a0 If you will, just now talk to God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is risen indeed!<\/strong><\/p>\n
