hour of decision

Many people are already aware of what the Gospel message is all about. Some may have heard it for years, starting as children in Sunday School. They know all about the problem of sin in our lives, the plague that it has been on mankind, and its destructive effects on people. They may know how Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, how that He went to the cross to suffer for sins as a substitute for guilty sinners. And many know that by trusting Christ they can receive the forgiveness of sins and peace with God. Well, that would be wonderful if they possess all this knowledge. But the question remains, “Have they come to Christ for salvation?” The gospel call is an urgent one. It’s not one to consider later on down the road. The Bible says that NOW is the day of God’s grace. Not tomorrow. What are you waiting for?

The magnificent power of the creator Himself can be seen from the far reaches of the universe to the invisible atomic building blocks of our world. But God's power extends to far more than creation. He has the utmost power in the courthouse of heaven - the power to condemn and the power to pardon. But the sinner has power as well - the power of choice. The power to believe what God says and to trust the Saviour for themselves. What will yours be?

The Gospel message is quite clear on this one point - we are ALL quite responsible here and now for what we do with God's offer, and more importantly, what we do with Christ. This message focuses on the 'Three Strong Wills' in our lives - God's will, the devil's will, and our will. You can be certain that God desires your salvation and well-being, a blessing that the devil is also determined to keep from you. But you can also be sure that YOU have the deciding will in this matter - not that you can save yourself - but that you must make salvation the priority of your life.
