Are You A Gambling Man ?
What if someone offered you a bet on a roulette wheel? If the ball landed on Red, you would win ten million pounds. But if the ball landed on Black, you would die. Would you accept the bet? I’m hoping you would refuse the bet, because no amount of money would be worth the risk.
What if the Devil offered you a bet on a roulette wheel ? If the ball landed on Red he would allow you to go to heaven when you die. If the ball landed on black, then you would go to hell when you die? Would you accept the bet?
I’m hoping you would refuse the bet, because Satan (the Devil) doesn’t get to make that decision over your life. Because if he did, he would cheerfully send everyone to hell.
The person who gets to make the decision of whether you go to heaven or hell is Jesus Christ.
Some people don’t believe in God, yet the evidence I have presented in my book – Evidence for God: Prophecies, Miracles and the power of God The 100 prophecies of God not only prove that God does exist, but it also proves that the history of humankind has been unfolding according to the predetermined plan and purpose of God.
So, let’s assume God does exist and that tomorrow morning you discover you died in your sleep, and find yourself standing before God in the heavenly realms. If God asked you why He should let you into His heaven what would you say?
Would you say, that everything considered you are a good person? Good enough for heaven?
Well, God judges everyone by His perfect moral code, and if you have broken that moral code just once, then you have failed, you are not good enough for heaven. That moral code is called the Ten Commandments of God.
When Jesus Christ was asked which of the commandments was the greatest, the most important commandment.
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbouras yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”Mark 12:29-31.
So, have you ever failed to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and body?
And the answer is, you have broken the greatest commandment of God every day of your life!
So, if God judges you by His commandments, will he find you innocent or guilty of breaking His laws, His commandments?
And the answer is He will find you guilty, and the punishment for you sins is the second death in hell. As the Bible tells us.
