"If anyone does not love the Lord, THAT PERSON IS CURSED. Come Lord Jesus!"
If you think the movie, THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY, was scary and made you afraid, then you had better pay attention to the One Truth Today. The movies are fiction and can not really harm you, but our scripture today is to warn you of true impending danger to your life! People who do not know and love Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour have a curse upon them. The terrible thing about the curse is they are unaware of it. Remember when the mummy was about to take the heroine and her death was about to occur, did you scream in terror? Although there were no consequences, because just like you father told you, "its only a movie", in real life there are real and terrifying results. If they only knew that they would be separated from the Lord and spend eternity in Hell they would scream in terror! Their unbelief is really a blaspheme against God. They in essence are cursing God. The difference is that only God can cause a real consequence, and only God could save them!
If you do not love the Lord you place yourself under the curse. Our own actions or inaction can bring us to an evil result and eternal death. We impose the curse voluntarily and only we are responsible for the consequence of rejecting the Lord. If you have no affection for God and are not on a friendly basis with Him, if you are not disposed to know and love Him, THAT PERSON IS CURSED! You have chosen to separate yourself from God and He will separate you, from Himself. This anathema shows a destitution of Love for Jesus Christ and it will doom you to perdition. In short you are cursed and separated and doomed forever!
Maranatha is a prayer that literally means, Come Now Lord Jesus. Our Lord Come is the prayer of any believer who yearns for the heavenly kingdom and being in the presence of the Lord. At that time the real meaning of the curse will be revealed to unbelievers'. They have imposed on themselves a penalty that they can never repay. Choices and actions on this earth have consequences and the result of cursing God is that you will be cursed. Your final judgement will be just and fair and a result of your own choices and actions. If you do not come to a Saving Grace and accept the Lord as your Saviour, you will die, THAT PERSON IS CURSED! Although the Lord does not want any to perish and as believer's we want all those we love to be saved, we still have the same prayer every day; Maranatha, Come Now Lord!
