The Gosp-ill
“Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order.”
.
2 Kings 20:1
Man condemns himself by his refusal of God’s way of salvation. In love and mercy, God is offering to men and women a way of escape, a way of salvation, a hope and anticipation of better things. Man, in his blindness, stupidity, stubbornness, egotism, and love of sinful pleasure, refuses God’s simple method of escaping the pangs of eternal banishment. Suppose you were sick and called a doctor, who came and gave you a prescription. But after thinking about it, you decided to ignore his advice and to refuse the medicine. When he returned a few days later, he might have found your condition much worse. Could you blame the doctor? Could you hold him responsible? He gave you the prescription, he prescribed the remedy. But you refused it!
Just so, God prescribes the remedy for the ills of the human race. That remedy is personal faith in, and commitment to, Jesus Christ. The remedy is to be saved by claiming the Lord Jesus as your personal saviour. If we deliberately refuse God's remedy, then we must suffer the consequence; and we cannot blame God. Is it God’s fault that we refuse the remedy?
Why not set your house in order today, and make Christ your Lord and Saviour. In Romans 10:13, the Bible say, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
