The most important message that any person can hear, the most important decision any
person can ever make in their entire life is to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior.
I know people today that have died if they had opportunity to come back from the grave.
There was a man in the Word of God, a rich man that was in the Word of God.
The Bible tells us that he lifted up his eyes and he saw Abraham and a beggar man that was
in Abraham's bosom and that man said, send Lazarus to my brothers and have him preach
to my brothers and tell them not to come to this place where he was in torments and if
anybody could come back from the dead they would tell people, receive Christ, trust Christ
because the Bible says that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord to the glory of God. So if there was a message that needs to be preached more than
any other message that people need to hear more than anything else it is that you can know that
you've been accepted by God, forgiven by God, your sins have been forgiven and you can know
that you have eternal life. To understand justification if it means to declare righteous
that means by implication you're unrighteous. The Bible says in Isaiah 64 that our righteousness
is ours, filth and rags. And so our own righteousness by whatever work we could possibly concoct is
altogether unrighteous in God's sight. And so we stand guilty before God, we stand guilty before
a holy God with no claim to our own righteousness.
Can a person who's been saved ever lose their salvation? That's the question.
You can't read how you are possessed by the Lord Jesus Christ, you belong to him,
he's passed you from death unto life and somehow come up with some idea that your
past is life unto death and you're no longer his possession.
