We Are The Last Line Of Offense



Urgency is an importance, requiring swift action.  The Old Testament of The Holy Bible tells Us, that prior to God Almighty passing Judgment, on a City or People, He sent a Prophet, to warn All the People, to turn away from their wicked ways, and back to God Almighty.  Most the time, the People listened, and God held back His Wrath, but after turning back to God, it didn’t take long, for them to turn back to their wicked ways, once again.  Each time, these men, these Prophets, stressed the urgency of the situation, stating that God Almighty will pass Judgment on the People, unless they change immediately.  This urgency, weighed heavily, on each Prophet’s heart.  Remember, these People were their family and their friends, they personally knew most, if not all, of these People, they didn’t want them to die, to suffer God’s Wrath.  These men were told, by God Almighty, precisely what words to relay, to say to the People.  The statements, from God, were meant to stress the reality of the situation.  Roughly meaning, change from your wicked ways, because I see what YOU are doing, turn back to Me, or I will pass Judgment upon YOU.

When The Lord Jesus Christ walked among the People, He stressed to them, who sent Him, and why He was here.  Unlike the Prophets before Him, Jesus told the People, that God Almighty, The Father, His Father, had sent Him.  Jesus told the People, He is The Bread From Heaven, that if they ate His Flesh and drank His Blood, they would have Everlasting Life.  They didn’t understand, He didn’t mean literally, He meant Spiritually.  He told them, He would be Crucified upon The Cross (The Crucifixion), taking upon Himself, All their sins, All their iniquities.  He was The Sacrificial Lamb, since God Almighty requires a Blood Sacrifice, for the Remission, or cleansing of sin, He would shed His Own Blood, as a Sacrifice, for them.  He also told them, that God, His Father, would raise Him from the grave, on the third day (The Resurrection).  Jesus conquered death, He is Alive, He is Risen.  In Our place, Jesus Christ paid Our sin debt, Once for All.  After forty days, Jesus Christ ascended, on a Cloud, into Heaven (The Ascension), Alive, and sat down at The Right Hand of His Father, The Father, God Almighty.

After His Ascension, His Disciples and Followers, got together, and as promised, They received The Helper, The Holy Spirit.  Jesus’ Disciples and Followers, spent the rest of Their days, sharing The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ.  Warning People, that the Only way back into God’s Immediate Presence, was through The Lord Jesus Christ.  That if We accept Jesus, as Our personal Lord and Savior, We will have Everlasting Life.  However, there is a time limit, to make this decision, until Our last breath.

Which brings Us to Today, We have no need for Prophets, but We do have People who stress the urgency, of accepting Jesus Christ, as Our personal Lord and Savior, right now!  Who are these People YOU ask?  Well, We are All Disciples, Followers of The Lord Jesus Christ.  We are All, Believers, who by Faith, have accepted Jesus Christ, and know there is but One God, The Father, God Almighty.  Each and every one of Us, are tasked with sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are to stress the urgency of making this decision, Today, because not one of Us, are promised a Tomorrow!

If I told YOU, a tornado or a hurricane, was coming directly at YOU, what would YOU do?  If I told YOU, YOU would die in a car wreck, or plane crash, or of a heart attack, Today, what would YOU do?  If I told YOU, God Almighty, was preparing to pass Judgment, upon your town or city, or even the whole World, unless the People, turned away from their sins, their wicked ways, and back to God Almighty, what would YOU do?  This is the urgency, which All of Us Believers feel, because We don’t want anyone to remain, out of God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  No, We are not Prophets, but We do reiterate, what Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, tells Us to share with YOU.  By Faith, We Believe, that each person must accept Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior.  We see God’s Love, Mercy, and Saving Grace, through His Free Gift of Salvation.  God Almighty will end this World, what Jesus Christ referred to as, The Last Day.  Then God will create a New Heaven, a New Earth, a New Holy City, Jerusalem.  Men and Women will walk IN God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, for All Eternity, but only those who accepted His Free Gift of Salvation, before their mortal bodies died.

Now YOU know why We, Believers, take the time, effort, and energy, to share with YOU about God Almighty, The Lord Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and The Holy Bible.  We are The Last Line of Offense, to willingly and openly share with YOU, The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We want YOU to feel this urgency, to make this decision, NOW, before the opportunity to make it, is gone.  Know this, if YOU don’t choose, to accept Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, then by default, YOU accept being AWAY from God’s Immediate Presence, for All Eternity.  God Almighty makes this clear, through what His Only Son, Jesus Christ, revealed to Jesus’ Disciple, John.  Jesus will sit upon The Great White Throne of Judgment.  Whereby it will be decided for each individual, We will either be IN God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity, or AWAY from God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  As a Believer, and one of the members, of The Last Line of Offense, I feel this urgency, and I’m doing what I’m compelled to do, by The Lord Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit.  I welcome being used, as Jesus Christ’s Vessel, to share with YOU, God Almighty’s and Jesus Christ’s Unconditional Love for YOU.  They want YOU to accept the fact, that Jesus Christ died upon The Cross, for YOU.  All YOU have to do, is to accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and YOU will have the guarantee, of being in God’s (and Jesus Christ’s) Immediate Presence, for Eternity. 

God Almighty is demanding, that YOU turn away from your wicked ways, from your iniquities, from your sins, this instant!  He wants YOU to turn back to Him, and to worship Him, ONLY!  The last thing God Almighty wants to do, is to punish YOU for Eternity.  YOU were created, in His Image, to be IN God’s Immediate Presence, to walk with Him, Forever!  One day, when God Almighty creates everything anew, He and His Only Son, Jesus Christ, want YOU to be with Them for All Eternity.  The question I have for YOU is this, do YOU want to avoid God’s Wrath, and welcome God’s Love, God’s Mercy, and God’s Saving Grace?  If so, and YOU want to know what YOU must do, to accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, I will be happy to take the time, to show YOU.
