IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SLIP BACK IN TIME 40 OR 50 YEARS WOULD IT BE TO YOU A BENEFIT?
I ask this because I clearly remember my wild 20s, before I came to know Jesus Christ as my Friend, LORD, and Saviour!
Before I really knew my Jesus, I did a lot of crazy things. I totalled three automobiles, never being injured. I had many girlfriends, owned my own house, and had a teaching job.
But something was missing in my life! I didn't know the LORD who created me yet was still looking out for me because He KNEW that one day I would receive Him as my Friend and Saviour. In all my last 25 years of trouble, I've never had a better Friend!
Now I am much older and wiser as I depend upon the Lord Jesus for my life's direction.
So...would I want to go back to my former days and have another shot at them?
NOPE!
With all of my many serious health issues, AND God getting me through EACH one EACH day, I'm truly amazed that I'm still alive! So are my Christian friends, who lift me up in prayer every day! I'm so thankful for them!
I know that one reason why God keeps me going is to write these articles. I also, as Deacon of our church, try to be an encouragement to those who need it. So many are discouraged and confused today! It IS a very crazy time to be alive!
Now my question to you is...if you could go back in time, would it make any difference in your relationship with God?
ONE THING I KNOW, without Jesus Christ as your Friend and Saviour, your life is STILL empty and pointless.
Though my ending days are filled with sickness and trouble, my God has never left me alone to have to deal with my problems by myself!
He promised to never leave nor forsake me!
Hebrews 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
When you trust in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your LORD and Saviour, ALL of His promises to Christians are yours.
Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, paying for your sins that you could never pay for, that He was buried, but that three days later He arose from the dead, according to the scriptures! He could do this because He was God on this earth! He did it for ALL sinners who call upon Him to be saved!
I wouldn't trade my frail life now for all of the "so called FUN" I had 50 years ago because the world was corrupt then, just as now, only WE DON'T RECOGNIZE IT!
Choose Jesus Christ to save you from the horrible future that awaits those on this earth, probably pretty soon!
No Jesus, no life!
Know Jesus, know life everlasting!
