WARRIOR FOR JESUS CHRIST

- Ed Lueck

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE ARE TO BE WARRIORS!  BUT JUST WHAT ENTAILS BEING A FAITHFUL WARRIOR FOR JESUS CHRIST?

At the SAME time AS A WARRIOR FOR THE GOSPEL, we also need to be a dedicated follower of our Leader, the LORD Jesus Christ!

I'll bet that for the thousand year reign of Jesus on earth (the millenium) that Christians will be somehow involved in government, as we're Daniel, Hananiah, Michel, and Azariah, those found faithful to the point of death (burning fiery furnace, signifying that hell or its gates will ever touch the believer)!

Believers are secure in Christ!

When King Nebuchadnezzar looked at God's three faithful servants who had thrown into the burning fiery furnace, he noticed a fourth One not thrown into the furnace.  (Daniel chapter 3 entire chapter!) 

Nebuchadnezzar remarked in Daniel 3:24-25 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

This example clearly shows that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us, once we come to him!

(Hebrews 13:5.)

But the real issue here is...do YOU PERSONALLY know JESUS, THE SAVIOUR, and are YOU willing to SERVE Him with your life?

In order to serve your Creator, you must understand that you are a sinner in God's eyes!

AND death is the result of our sin!

Romans 6:23  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Those who admit their sin to God, and believe that Jesus paid the full price for their sin at the cross, was buried, but after three days He arose from the dead, according to the scriptures, WILL be saved from their sins!  This is called the gospel, 

(1 Corinthians 15:1-4.)  This is what saves a person!  Believe that you're a sinner (as God says) and that Jesus died paying for YOUR sins.  

When you receive him as Saviour,  God Almighty sees you as a person with your soul fully cleansed of sin and acceptable to enter heaven, being clothed with JESUS righteousness! 

But just ONE sin will keep you forever out of heaven because God will not allow one sin to enter His heaven as He is so Holy, He cannot look upon sin or have it ever enter into His heaven!

Repent of your sin, ask God to forgive you, and believe the gospel (quoted above) and finish your life living in the joy and assurance that you personally know the Creator of the Universe as your Friend and Saviour!

He's MY Best Friend!  

Despite my several serious issues with my health, I desire to serve Him with every fiber of my being, AND BECAUSE HE DIED FOR ME AND LIVES IN ME I will give Him what I have left to serve!

Jesus has been the thread that has held my life together, despite my problems.  

God is SO good!

Come to Jesus today and have no worry about your eternity!  Become a Warrior for Him as you serve Him by faith!
