I had a friend that I shared all that was coming our way in September. And they said to me, that they are not sure what to believe anymore, but their heart is in the Lord’s hands and there is no place they would rather be.
Now I agree with this, but something bothered me about this response every time I would get it from anyone. And the Lord finally enlightened me to what it was. We are to occupy, not just wait around knowing that we are saved. To occupy means to be about the Lords work, the last chapter in Matthew told us what that was, the great commission. We are to go forth and make disciples, to lead others to Christ. It is said another way in the Old Testament. We are watchmen on the wall. We are not only called to be alert ourselves but held accountable for alerting others to the hour we live in and the danger that approaches so that they may make up their own mind to follow, but we have made them aware. Is there anyone in your life that does not know Jesus?
Listen to the last two minutes of the below video if nothing else, time is short. We have to get serious about our faith and the things of our Lord. We must occupy until his return, which is oh so near. We must snatch others from the hold this world has on them and show them the truth, the word of God. Then the choice is up to them.
Remember, the darker it gets, the brighter and farther our little light shines!
Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile. He writes:
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5
What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law. But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9
Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved. It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation.
It is The Gospel of Jesus Christ. To learn more check out the following link.
