Saved from What?

The message of salvation. The question is “Saved from what?” We want to get people saved and tell people that you need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, but the question is, “Saved from what?” You need to know what waits on you for saying “No.”  I need to tell you the truth so that you do not want to say ”No.” You see, nobody wants to perish when they understand what perishing is. When was the last time you told somebody that if you do not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that you are going to perish? You are going to be destroyed. You are going to be under the wrath of God. You are going to have the condemnation of God upon you. You are going to be eternally separated from God. No, we give them the good side, and we are supposed to!  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved…Saved from what?  The wrath of God!

Prayer: Most gracious God and our eternal Father, whether we like it or not, all of us are destined to die and then face the judgement. Those who are saved know their eternal destination and everlasting life with Jesus. Help us to share Your truths so that the unsaved will understand what the finality of eternal death and damnation means. That there is no returning from hell. That there are no prayers/petitions on their behalf to release them from the consequences of not accepting Christ as Savior.  Lord, open the eyes and the hearts of the unsaved so that understanding enters, grace prevails, and souls are saved from the eternal pit of hell and the eternal wrath of God unto the sons of disobedience.
