Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation
2 Corinthians 5:18, HCSB
This life is all we have to choose Christ, the author and giver of life, and we should use this life to bring more people to God through Christ by the power of His indwelling Holy Spirit.
On that day Yahweh will become King over all the earth — Yahweh alone, and His name alone.
Zechariah 14:9, HCSB
This life is all we have to choose Christ, and when we die or He returns we are subject to His rule. Be in peace knowing you belong to God through faith in Christ by the sealing of the Holy Spirit.
For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:17, HCSB
This life is all we have, and before we die or Christ returns we must come to faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ to be saved to everlasting life and from the wrath of God for our sin.
For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.
Romans 1:17, HCSB
This life is all we have, and we must choose before we die whether to believe the gospel, that any righteousness we have comes from Chriat and His work on the cross.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.”
Matthew 16:24, HCSB
This life is all we have, and before we die we must choose to give it to Christ, being willing to sacrifice everything for the One who died for us, to receive eternal life.
For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.
2 Timothy 1:7, HCSB
This life is all we have, and we must follow God and live by the Spirit, coming out of fear of death and the opinions of others (and ourselves) and of God’s judgment to walk in His power and wisdom.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call to Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6, HCSB
This life is all we have, so we must follow Christ now, while we can choose Him and He calls. There is no “later.”
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 17:17, ESV
Friends choose each other, while siblings can seem like a chore but will usually be there for you.
Our Lord came and called us friends as He made us brothers in His blood, saving us from our adversary and punishment for our sins.
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11, ESV
God sent His Truth into the world. The gospel will be preached to the whole world, and all will bow before Christ.
Choose Life now. Choose love and God’s Way.
A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:6-8, ESV
At Advent, we look back at why Jesus had to come, that He came, and then that He will come again.
Our sins have stacked up to heaven, deeper and more vile than we could know.
Sin is the act of willfully separating from God, putting something between God and ourselves, weakening ourselves from the inside out as we cut ourselves off from the source of life.
And God will let us have what we want. (Romans 1:20-32)
Therefore, we internally die continually, and the only hope is a long life to stave off the eternal death and suffering.
All because we choose our sin over God and His Word.
We therefore prepare ourselves by investigating His eternal Word through reading the Scriptures and trusting in the Son.
We may still suffer in this world, but we have the hope of eternal life in New bodies with our Lord forever.
May we seek the Lord who gives us life, preparing ourselves by seeking His Word.
