ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY - PART 94

ONE HEARTBEAT                AWAY

       PART 94


(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)

Jesus says that non-belief is a decision to
reject Him. Such a decision makes no sense
after all the evidence that has been presented 
to you in this book. In fact, it is really very 
difficult to go to hell once you look at all the evidence and recognize your sin and realize 
that you have been invited to heaven. 

On the other hand you don't have an invitation
to go to hell, so why don't you go ahead and 
cash in the invitation to go to heaven?

But there is something else you need to know
before you make that decision. God doesn't
promise that everything will become smooth 
in your life and that there will not be any 
problems once  you surrender your life to Jesus.

Yes, the Bible promises over and over that God  will  forgive your sins, and "provide all your
needs according to His riches in glory." 
(Philippians 4:19).  

Still, following Jesus
is not about life
enhancement. But 
then why does He 
make such promises
as the following?

"And Jesus answered and said, 'verily I say
unto you, there is no man who has left house,
or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, 
or wife, or children, or lands, for My sake, 
and the gospel's.
But he shall receive an hundred fold now in
this time, houses and brethren, and sisters, and
mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions and in the world to come, eternal
life. (Mark 10:29-30)

This seems to promise material abundance, but
what is it really saying? It is giving us an
important cluster of information that should 
help us cope while we are here.
