Losing My Soul

April 3, 2016 by Keith Swift

There is a life to come after death.  Count on it.  When you die, you go before God for His judgement.   That judgement will last forever.

So, what do you have that God wants?  When you stand before Him, the God of the universe:  What is of worth to God …in you?  Or are you just a “crumb bum“?

Do you know that you are of huge worth?  Do you know that Jesus left His Throne in heaven because He cares about your eternal soul?  You are so valuable to Him that Creator God Himself died on a cross so that you could escape His coming judgement!

it is appointed for men
to die once and
after this comes judgement
– Hebrews 9:27

Because of our sin we are already condemned, headed towards a final Day of Judgement.  When we die, we then appear before Him in His Court.  (Hebrews 9:27)  There will be no faking it there.  There will be no excuses there.

There will be no other “god” to call on there.  There will be no other religion there.  There will be no other system, no other court – but His court.  And the justice system of God requires a perfect record.  Without it we will forever be with those condemned.

The death of Jesus, predicted in the Old Testament and by Jesus Himself (Luke 9:22), was the fulfillment of a plan carried-out by God to provide forgiveness within His justice system.  The debt of sin against us was paid-in-full by the death of the perfect substitute.

On our own we have no chance in Hell.  God Himself suffered and died as one of us – thus satisfying the justice of God.  (John 1:29)

There in His court there is now a pardon waiting to be applied.  (John 3:16-21)  There is a pardon there for each of us, written in Jesus’ blood.  But it is required by God that we each individually come to Him in prayer before we die.

You must confess your unworthiness before Him, and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Nothing less, nothing more – just bow in prayer to God, confess you are totally unworthy of His Holy blessing, and tell Him now that you accept Jesus as the one sent by God to free us.  He will forgive you in that very moment and set you on a path that leads to Him (Matthew 7:13-14).

This is no small thing, to receive a pardon from the One who created you!  You must personally come to God in prayer for it, and then you will begin to live a brand new life.  (See: Salvation Is A God Thing)

Our salvation in Christ does not require we understand it all.  It just requires we simply acknowledge our sin and accept that He is the One sent by God.  Even a reviled thief on the cross next to Jesus – was forgiven and accepted into Christ’s Kingdom because he sincerely acknowledged Christ as Messiah sent by God… and confessed that he himself was a sinner. (–Luke 23:39-43)

simply acknowledge your sin
and
accept that He is the One sent by God

Losing my soul would in itself be hell, but there really is a real place prepared by God – called Hell.  And you don’t want to go there.  It is a place reserved forever for those who do not bow there knee before Him.  Jesus Himself said, ‘You must be born again.’

3 Jesus answered and said to him,
“Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again
he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
– John 3:3

4 Nicodemus said to Him,
“How can a man be born when he is old?
He cannot enter a second time
into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

“Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Spirit
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not be amazed that I said to you,
‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes and
you hear the sound of it,
but do not know where it comes from and
where it is going;
so is everyone
who is born of the Spirit.”
– John 3:4-8

Have you been born again?  Born, not just as a mere human (“of water”), condemned in your sin, but …born again (“of… the Spirit”) through faith in Christ, born again to new life.  Born again in your spirit?

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His great mercy
has caused us to be born again
to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to obtain an inheritance
which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away,
reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are protected by the power of God
through faith
for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice,
even though now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been distressed by various trials,
7 so that the proof of your faith,
being more precious than gold which is perishable,
even though tested by fire,
may be found to result in praise and glory and honor
at the revelation of Jesus Christ
– 1 Peter 1:3-7

Jesus.  Don’t leave earth without Him!

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html   Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

Subject: Judas Asparagus (also read story here: https://darrellcreswell.wordpress.com)    A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible.  The Children’s Bible in a Nutshell:  In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, […]

About Biblical Inerrancy

…would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Get real! Is God really going to give us the ‘truth’ …that isn’t!? The fact that Jesus “the Christ” fulfilled over 360 Scriptural prophecies – convinces me of the veracity of Scripture. Look at the evidences. Forget the critics! What about you?   Are you […]

Oh what a day that will be!  Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almight Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8 

Yeah, What he said!

Opinion's are sometimes worth your time. Here are some. I will be adding more periodically.

Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Satan Knows

Satan “knows that he has a short time.” God is at work – accomplishing His plan of the ages. Are you ready for Him?

Salvation will cost you

Salvation is free in the sense that we pay no money, pay no church, pay no official, don’t have to “clean-up your life”… in order to accept God’s salvation.  But salvation is not “free” to anyone: it will cost you dearly.

Divine Mysteries Revealed by the Godman Jesus

Isn’t it astounding to consider that God Himself has revealed future events to special prophets.  Does your faith allow you to believe that? Are you listening?

The revelations of Revelation 20

The book of Revelation is chock-full with revelations from God. This is “prophetic Scripture” foretelling real events that will take place at the end of time as we know it.  Specific, cataclysmic, real future events are prophetically given to us. Let’s look into this passage of Revelation 20 and see what’s coming around the corner.
