More "second chances" than we deserve!

"Say to them, '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. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?" - Ezekiel 33:11

This verse says to me how loving and wonderful God truly is. A God that doesn't want anyone to perish. A God that doesn't want to bestow His wrath on anyone. A God that was willing to sacrifice His only son to prevent our death. A God that is willing to give us all chance after chance, more "second chances" than we deserve. A God full of mercy and grace. A God who is humble enough to beg and plead us to turn from our evil ways.

Why are we so full of ourselves that we are willing to die? We are willing to be who we want to be, no matter the cost. No matter the consequences. We have even convinced ourselves that there is no cost or consequence to what we do. How foolish we are to push God's wrath aside like left over dinner scraps. How foolish we are not to be scared of God's wrath.  As Christian's we don't have to be scared of God's wrath.We will not have to see any of it. We have nothing to fear if we know Christ as our savior. BUT as unbelievers we better be scared. We will see it all! No one will live who rejects Christ, No One!

Are you willing to have the life you want? Are you willing to give anything to have the life style you want? Are you willing to Die just so you can be "in control" of your life?
Are you willing to DIE?
OR
Are you willing to LIVE?
Are you willing to give up your life style and control of your life so that you will live?
Are you willing to give your life to Christ?

Father, I pray for the many people who are on the fence. For those who feel You calling but are afraid to answer you. I pray Lord that they will make a decision for You today. I pray that they will see the urgent importance of salvation. Give them a healthy fear of Your wrath. Let them see how merciful and patient You are with them. Show them that You want nothing more than to save them from death. Speak to their hearts Lord and show them how much You truly love them. In Jesus name I pray. -Amen
With God's Love,
Christian
