What Do You Believe?

“Do you believe heaven is real? Do you believe hell is real? If so, why aren’t we more willing to share our faith.” That is one of the things Mark Cahill said yesterday as he preached. If we really believe that each of us will go to one place or the other then we must be about sharing our faith in Jesus Christ. As I read this morning in Matthew 24:30 “And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.” I was thinking about the mourning that will come that day. So many will know for sure then that Jesus really is and was the Son of God but for them it will be too late. My heart grieves to think about the many who will go to hell because they have not believed in the one and only Son of God. Oh Father, give me an urgency to tell. Give us a realistic understanding that those we know who do not know you will spend eternity in a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Please forgive me for my complacency and help me be moved to action as I share the hope I have in You.
