Have You Recieved a Tract Lately?

Dearest Friends & Family~

Today I am sharing a really important message with everyone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’ve all seen cartoons lampooning the “Mad Prophet” as he walks about with his sandwich board signs declaring that “THE END IS NEAR!”

But the thinking mind will realize that the end is indeed very near for each of us. How many of us have had friends die unexpectedly at an early age? We are not promised tomorrow and there is no guarantee that we will live through this very day.

In Hebrews 9:27 we read, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

If there is anything in this world that you can bank on, it’s the fact that your end is indeed near. Ten out of every ten people born will die and you’ll be dead a lot longer than the short life you live on this earth. Considering that you have only one shot at this life, it is of utmost importance that you live in a manner that is acceptable to the God who gave you life and to whom you will give an account.

Oh, but here is the problem we all face. We have all sinned and broken God’s commandments and that puts us in a bad spot. You see, we will be judged according to our every word, deed and thought. Given this fact, you must surely realize that you will be found guilty as a violator of God’s holy law on the Day of Judgment and face the penalty for sin, which is death and hell. (Psalm 9:17)

In the Bible we read of only two types of people, those who live in their sins and are damned and those who confess and forsake their sins and are forgiven.

In Matthew 4:17 we find the topic of Jesus’ first sermon. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”.

You see, there can be no forgiveness without repentance. No second chances and no short cuts. This is the clear testimony of the Scriptures.

So whether or not this earth comes to an end in your lifetime isn’t the big question facing you today. Your end is near regardless and you will likely face this fact sooner than you think.

1 John 1:8-9 states, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Friend, you received this card because someone wants you to know that you can be cleansed from your sin and be ready for the end that is indeed very near. Get honest with God and seek Him before it’s too late. Read the Bible and obey what you read.

These tracts are available for purchase (very, very cheaply-at the ministry's cost).  I am told they get read, as well.

Buy some (of these or others), give some, & just email them on to your loved ones.... whatever, whenever, and however!  = )

If you know and love JESUS, don't let anyone you know NOT KNOW about our Savior!

love in JESUS~
