Matthew 7:13,14
We do a disservice to people when we tell them to “come to Christ — He will take away all your problems!” If you thought you could now just sit back and relax on your flight to heaven — think again! From Abraham on down, God’s people know what danger is all about!
WARNING!
I. There is a price to pay!
God is not interested in your money or time or talent — He wants your life! A missionary in the inner city of Chicago was telling a young member about Christ. The teen inquired, “What are the dues?” My missionary friend responded, “10%”. The gang member replied, “Your God must not be worth much! My gang required 100%.”
II. There is much work to do!
Evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, worship & ministry — this is not just the mission of the church — it’s your job!! There’s no time to take it easy!
III. There is an enemy who hates you!
Satan is diametrically opposed to the work of God; he is a theif, murderer & destroyer, and takes his mission quite seriously.
So, is there any encouraging news? YES!!
Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”
Matthew 28:20 — “Sure I am with you always, to the very end of the age”
Luke 10:18 — “I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven”
Revelation 20:10 — “The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfer, where he will be tormented day and night, forever and ever”
