That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7 KJV
2 Corinthians 4:4-6 ~ 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. KJV
Paul clearly tells us that the those who believe not and are of the world are blinded by satan ('the god of this world') to the Gospel. If people do not respond to this glorious gospel, they will be lost to hell forever. Only those who are perishing miss the message, and it is Satan's goal to keep you from the Gospel lest you "see the Light!" In verse 4 our Bible says: "blinded the minds" and people are lost!
Charles Spurgeon said, “According to the text, he that believes not on Jesus Christ is a lost man. God has lost you; you are not his servant. The church has lost you; you are not working for the truth. The world has lost you really; you yield no lasting service to it. You have lost yourself to right, to joy, to heaven. You are lost, lost, lost... It is not only that you will be lost, but that you are lost… lost even now.”
BUT GOD and His mercies are new every day. There is time for the "lost" to be saved by this Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't trust in the one who deceived Adam and Eve and therefore brought sin and condemnation on all men. He is mad and I mean insanely "MAD" because he knows he loses. The sad part is he is a great deceiver, and many have already been won to the death, grave, and hell because of his deception.
This is why the entire counsel of God must be preached and the Gospel spread in any way we can. We are blessed to have our radio ministry ( www.wbofradio.com ) the printing ministry, our preaching, singing, blogs, posts social media to spread the TRUTH of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Take time to research yourself if you find this unbelievable, but Jesus DID DIE ON THE CROSS TO SAVE ALL MANKIND, NO MATTER YOUR ORIGIN!
God ". . . commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." No matter if you believe it or not, that light is shining! Just because the BLIND cannot see the sun light, doesn't mean it isn't there and so is the same with Jesus.
My prayer today is that all who see this will have their eyes opened to the truth and
be saved! If you are saved, please, share this post so that your loved ones may know the truth. It isn't about anyone but GOD AND HIS SON; love them enough to TELL them the truth!
HE CARES!
Do You Know HIM?
Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.
