God showed His approval of that mighty work by raising the Lord Jesus from among the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in heaven (Mark 16:19). JESUS IS THE WAY — There is no other way a sinner can be saved but through the atoning death of the Lord Jesus, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). WHY DID JESUS DIE? — Have you ever realized that it was your sins that caused Him to die upon the cross, or ever felt your need of Him as your personal Saviour? As you read this little message, He looks down from heaven upon you, and He reads the thoughts and intents of your heart. He knows your attitude toward your sins, as well as your attitude toward the One who wants to be your Saviour. Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Once you see the seriousness of your sinful condition before God, you will never get rest of conscience and heart until you have trusted the Saviour of sinners. He made “peace through His blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:20). We are “reconciled to Him through the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10). If you do not trust Him now as your Saviour, you will meet Him in eternity as your Judge. For God “has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:31). Won’t you flee to Him now for refuge while it is the day of salvation? “We implore you on Christ’s behalf: be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20) TURN TO HIM TODAY — Even if you are a stranger, God knows all about you. I urge you not to lay aside this paper until you have settled this great question and have received the
On the day of your death, do you think you will wake up knowing that it is your last day? No matter how much we try to extend our lives with regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and the best medical care, our “last day” will still come, and often without warning. How many people, minutes before a fatal crash, can even imagine what the moments ahead will contain? And of those who stare death in the face for a second or two before it comes, how many do you suppose have time to turn their thoughts to God for salvation? Tragedy most often strikes unexpectedly, without warning. It comes as a shock, abruptly cutting off pleasure and comfort, and shatters the normal course of life. “As fish are caught in cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them” (Ecclesiastes 9:12). Tragedy “collapses suddenly, in an instant” (Isaiah 30:13). When that day comes for you, will you be ready for eternity? God in His mercy has not left us without warning concerning our eternal destiny: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them” (John 3:36). He pleads with sinners to turn to Him for salvation: “’As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live’” (Ezekiel 33:11). “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 4:7). “Unless you repent, you too will all perish” (Luke 13:3). You only live today. The past is gone, and the future is unknown, making the present the only time you are sure to have. If you are ever to turn to God from your sin it will not be tomorrow, for tomorrow never comes. Now is the only time you have! “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring” (Proverbs 27:1). “Now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
