REPENT SINNER!

LUKE 13: 3

"You will perish, unless you REPENT OF YOUR SINS  and turn to God."

Have you seen the cartoons where the man is holding a sign that reads, "REPENT SINNER"?  The other side of the sign reads, "THE END IS NEAR".  The sign is being held by a man with a beard and wearing a long robe and sandals.  They always have a joke at the bottom that is meant to be funny.  How ironic that something that contains such concise truth has become a joke to many. The consequences of not getting this message are anything but funny.  It may seem clever or humorous to make light of these important messages, but those who let them become obscured to them have their eternal life at stake.  YOU WILL PERISH UNLESS YOU REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TURN TO GOD!   THE END IS NEAR AND ALWAYS AT HAND!

In God's timing the end is always near to mere mortals.  The message that the end is near, is appropriate at any time to any person.  We are just here for a moment and then in the twinkling of an eye we will be gone.  It is true that all men will perish and death is one thing that will happen to us all.  So the statement is not a joke, it is the truth and we need to heed the message.  Your soul will end up in one of two places, either in Heaven with the Lord, or separated from God forever and eternally damned.  You will perish unless you get the message!

You will not perish if you listen to the message from the Lord and then ask Him into your heart!  You can be born again and then live forever if you repent of your sins and turn to God!
To repent means to turn around from the path you have been on and the sins you have been committing and turn toward God and follow His straight path.  You turn away from your life of the flesh and to the life of the Spirit.  You are responsible for your choice to reject or heed the signs.  The consequences of not repenting and turning to God are yours alone.  Listen to that voice in your spirit that calls you and tells you the truth.   REPENT SINNERS, THE END IS NEAR!
