ANYONE WHO REJECTS ME IS REJECTING GOD!

LUKE 10: 16

"Then Jesus said to His disciples, anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. Anyone who rejects your message is rejecting me. ANYONE WHO REJECTS ME IS REJECTING GOD, who sent me."

If you wondered how important your message about Jesus Christ is, then consider the One Truth Today. The impact it can have on a person is a matter of life and death. It is your duty to bring the "Good News" to others. It is their decision to accept or reject the message. The consequence to their choice is that anyone who rejects the message is also rejecting Jesus Christ the Lord God! Knowing this, it is important to also convey the consequences to their choice and actions. They need to understand that hearing the message of the Lord and accepting it means accepting Jesus Christ into their lives. The also need to understand that hearing the message of the Lord and then rejecting it has severe consequences. ANYONE WHO REJECTS ME IS REJECTING GOD!

There is a lot at stake when we witness to others about Jesus Christ. Life changing ramifications are at stake. It is a matter of eternal life or eternal damnation. If they accept the message they are accepting the God that made them. If they reject the Lord Jesus, they are rejecting the God that sent Him. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, so that whoever believed on Him would be Saved and have everlasting life. That is the "Gospel" that all the world needs to hear and then believe. Your Salvation is determined by whether or not you accept or reject the message of the Lord. ANYONE WHO REJECTS ME IS REJECTING GOD!"

The ones who listen to your message about Jesus Christ are really listening to the Truth about God. The ones who reject your message about Jesus Christ are really rejecting the God that sent Him for their Salvation. The lord does not want even one soul to be lost, and as a disciple of the Lord, we have a duty to go into all the world and tell others the "Good News". The message of peace and joy and Salvation should be made available to everyone, everywhere. The kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. The Lord wants to give everyone a choice to accept or reject the message that gives new and eternal life. Remember that your eternal life is at stake when you hear the message of the Lord. ANYONE WHO REJECTS ME IS REJECTING GOD!

WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID!

PSALM 56: 4

"I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? What can mere mortals do to me?"

What are you afraid of? What scares you and makes you upset? Many people are so afraid to die that they fail to live! Are you afraid to fly, or drive on the freeway, or go into certain parts of town, etc.. Are you afraid, that in your own home, you could be robbed or killed. Our One Truth Today will be a true test of your faith and belief in Jesus Christ, the Lord God. If you are assured of your Salvation and you are a child of God, what can mere mortals do to you? God has promised you that He will Save you and give you eternal life in Heaven. No mortal can do anything permanent to you. If you know and believe this in your heart then like other believer's you can say, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID?

The "Good News", known to believer's, is that this is not our permanent home, we are just passing through. This is not our final destination and our life on earth is like a puff of smoke or a flower or a blade of grass, here today and gone tomorrow! We are sure of our destination and eternal life. If you do not have that assurance and peace of mind and body then maybe you should be afraid. If you need the Salvation of God there is a reason that you are afraid and that feeling in the pit of your stomach is a warning of the consequences of not accepting the Lord and His free gift of life. You have not been delivered from death and that should give rise to a great deal of fear! The beginning of wisdom is the Fear of God!

If you are afraid all the time and about everything, is your life, worth living? Are you really sure of your final destination? God's promises are True and should be praised by those that Love Him. If you Trust in God then you have no reason to fear anything at any time. Your soul is safe with your Father in Heaven. When you come to know and understand the Word of God in your heart and believe without reservation His Promises, then you can join the other believer's who say boldly, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID! If you are afraid today then there is only one true answer to your fear and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask Him to save you and give you peace!

DO YOUR DUTY!

LUKE 9: 60

"Jesus told them, YOUR DUTY is to go and preach about the kingdom of God!"

As a good soldier in the kingdom of God, what is your duty? The Lord makes it clear in our One Truth Today what He expects! YOUR DUTY, is to go and preach about the kingdom of God! Have you followed the orders of your Lord and Savior? You have heard Jesus Christ say, come and follow me. You know that He has called all believer's to eternal life in Heaven with Him. A believer intends to follow the Lord wherever He leads them and do what is pleasing to the Lord! Now that you have been given and accepted the "Good News", you are expected to preach to others about the Salvation and Mercy of God. Pass the Gospel along to others that need to be Saved. DO YOUR DUTY!

You may say or think that you are not a preacher, but the Lord has expectations for all of us. You are not alone in this, as the Holy Spirit is living inside of you and will lead and direct you as you go about your duty. The Lord said that once you put your hand to the plow, tilling His field, you should never look back. If you want to please the Lord and do His will, then listen to His Word's and Truth's. Your are a soldier in the Lord's army and you are working for God! You have a duty to perform each and every day while you are here on earth. Preach about the Kingdom of God! DO YOUR DUTY!

We are not just the children of God, we are his disciples. We are to go into all the world and proclaim the "Good News", that Jesus Saves. Now that you know and have your orders, do not disobey them. Join with all the other believer's in telling about Jesus Christ the Lord God! What could be more important than that? The Lord is first in your life and He needs to be the first in every ones life if they want to be Saved. Every day when the bugle blows and the call to action is given, be a good soldier in the Army of God. DO YOUR DUTY, preach about the kingdom of God!

ONLY FOOLS SAY THERE IS NO GOD!

PSALM 53: 1

"ONLY FOOLS SAY THERE IS NO GOD. They are corrupt, and their actions are evil, none of them does good."

Do you believe there is no God? Our One Truth Today is quite an indictment against you. We will learn that you are corrupt, as all unsaved men are, and your actions are evil. In fact none of you will be able to do any good in the sight of God! The most important thing for you to learn is that ONLY FOOLS SAY IN THEIR HEART, THERE IS NO GOD! So no matter how wise and smart you think you are, it is all foolishness in the sight of God. Why would anyone listen to a fool? Unbeliever's consider professors, politicians, scientists, financiers, physicians, lawyers, and some artists wise. Can any one of them Save you and give you eternal life? Can they save themselves? Without God their lives are just foolishness and amount to nothing!

Can fools place the stars in the heavens and create the sun, moon, and stars? Can fools create a universe or environment and ecosystem that supports the life of man? What collection of men can overcome disease, poverty, illiteracy, or solve the problems of this earth? What kind of arrogance does it take to compare yourself to the Living God? Can you control your future? We bring nothing to this world when we are born, and we will take nothing with us when we pass on, so what kind of fool thinks they are the ones in control? Men make foolish attempts to compete with God and they fail every single time. Just because you say there is no God does not make it so. If you close your eyes, God will not disappear. Maybe it is time to grow up!

The Psalmists tell us that "God looks down from heaven on the entire human race". God looks to see if anyone is truly wise. The answer is NO. No one is good, no not one. All have turned away from God and become corrupt. So the question is, how do we become wise? The beginning of Wisdom is the Fear of God. The Fear, Knowledge and Love of God are required before you can be called wise. If you do not have Jesus Christ the Lord God dwelling in your heart, you will never be wise. You have to open the door to your heart and invite the Lord to come in and dwell with you; ask Him to be your Saviour. The Lord will give you the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Then you will become wise. Your choice, your consequence. You can be a wise man or a fool! ONLY FOOLS SAY THERE IS NO GOD!

THE LORD'S RETURN WILL COME UNEXPECTEDLY!

THESSOLONIANS 5: 32

"For you know quite well that the day of THE LORD'S RETURN WILL COME UNEXPECTEDLY, like a thief in the night!"

Have you noticed that just when you think that you have everything under control, something unexpected happens in your life? When you are feeling safe and secure, there may be an event that upsets your homeostasis. There are some days in our lives that come unexpectedly and with out warning. Our One Truth Today confirms that the day of the Lord's return will be just such a day! When we think that we are living in a time of safety and peace, suddenly and without warning, like a thief in the night, our whole world will change. THE LORD'S RETURN WILL COME UNEXPECTEDLY! Believer's are prepared for that moment. They know that it can come at any time. It will be the end of this world, but we will be taken up into heaven, to a new life and new kingdom.

It will all happen in the twinkling of an eye. If you are counting on time enough to bend your knee and confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is the Lord God, and to ask Him to Save you, then you are in for more than a shock. You will be separated from God for eternity and it will be your choice to be sent to Hell. If you wait too long you will not escape the inevitable fate of all non believing souls. Up until the moment of the Lord's return each individual has the right to accept or reject God. God has not condemned anyone and He wants all souls to be saved. Your choice, your consequence. Do not blame God if the Lord's return comes before your Salvation. THE LORD'S RETURN WILL COME UNEXPECTEDLY!

No one who rejects Jesus Christ the Lord God will escape the wrath that will ensue and the judgement that will occur when your life or the world ends! Remember that "Today is the day of your Salvation". You have been given this moment in time to hear the Word of God and to respond to His invitation to Save you and give you new and eternal life. If you reject the offer and harden your heart, you will suffer the consequences of your actions. The devil will keep on lying to you and tell you that, "surely you will not die". You will die the second death if you have not been born again. It could happen any moment. Are you willing to gamble your eternal life by rejecting God? THE LORD'S RETURN WILL COME UNEXPECTEDLY!

TELL YOUR FAIMLY EVERYTHING!

LUKE 8: 39

"GO BACK TO YOUR FAMILY AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU!"

The Lord has Saved you from death and given you eternal life! The Lord has given you peace on earth because you are in His Will. The Lord has given you His Word so that you can increase your faith and find righteousness. You have been freed from the demons of drugs, alcohol, sex addiction and many other trespasses that would have taken you to Hell. Your entire life has been changed and your final destination, heaven, has been secured. What is it that you should do next? Our One Truth Today tells us one thing we should and need to do. GO BACK TO YOUR FAMILY AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU! You do not want to keep it a secret what God can do and what He has done for you. Your family and friends need to know what changed your life and how you have been Saved!

The man in this scripture was saved from a legion of demons. He asked the Lord, what should I do? The Lord's answer is clear and unambiguous, "go back to your family and tell them everything God has done for you. First of all, Jesus Christ is once again confirming that He is God and that it is important for those who are Saved to return to their family and village and tell everyone the "Good News". When you are Saved you need to do the same thing. Have you gone back to your family and village and told everyone of the Power of the Lord to Save you from Hell and death? Have you told them of the new life and the new person that you have become? Have you told them of the peace here on earth that passes all understanding? Have you told them of the enlightenment of the Word of God? Have you shared the "Good News"?

If you have experienced the miracle of healing and cleansing, surely you would want others to experience the same thing. Your testimony is powerful and can help save those who love and know you. You can encourage others to accept the free gift of life and the mercy of the Lord. There are so many broken and lost lives that can be influenced by your life and testimony. The Lord wants everyone to be Saved and not one to be lost. He wants you to help in inspiring the movement of the Holy Spirit in the lives of others.

EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE!

PROVERBS 30: 5

'EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE. He is a shield to all who come to Him for protection!"

Every single person who has ever lived, has lied. The truth is not in us and there is no perfection in our lives. No one is good, no not one. If you just said that you have not lied, that was a lie! If you claim you have not lied, then you are calling the Lord a liar and our One Truth Today takes issue with your position. EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE! That is something that gives us great comfort, as believer's. Although we are born of sin and not "Good", God is Good and He alone can Save us from our sin. More important then that, EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE. God has never lied and He never will. We can trust Him and His Word to be true. Many have questioned God but they will never find anything but the truth in Him.

God's Word is absolute. God's Word is truth. God's Word is trustworthy. You can depend on everything He has said. Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is Truth. On the other hand the words of men are replete with lies. Men have limited understanding and they are anything but absolute. We do not have the mind of God and anyone who thinks so is just deceiving themselves and others. We are imperfect while He is perfect. He is Omniscient and Omnipresent and we are not. God has all the power and the glory and He is our Salvation.
EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE!

Because we trust in the Lord we can seek refuge in Him and in His Word. He is our shield and His Word is our manual for life. He protects us from those who would mislead us, including the devil. We are to test everything against His Word and we will find that EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE! Never trust those who add to or take words away from the Lord's Word! A liar will be exposed and what is untrue will come to light. Over the centuries there has been ample time to expose anything in the bible that is untrue and that will never happen. The reason is clear, the Word is Truth. It is so comforting to know that there is something that we can rely and believe in that will never change and will always be trustworthy and true!

I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!

DEUTERONOMY 11: 26-27-28

"Look today I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE, between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God, that I am giving you today. You will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God , and turn away from Him."

Would you like to be blessed throughout your life? Do you know that your choice of obeying God, or rejecting Him, will lead to your being cursed? Our One Truth Today is very clear and unambiguous. The Lord gave us His ten commandments and you have a choice to obey or reject them. Every person must make personal choices that will have very different consequences. Your choices will determine whether you have a life of blessing or cursing. You can not blame anyone or anything else for your decisions. Your choice, your responsibility and your consequence. You bring a blessing or a curse upon yourself. God has said, "I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!"

This is not rocket science, if we listen to God and obey His commandments, we will be blessed! If we reject the Lord and disobey His commandments we will be cursed! It can not be any more simple to understand than that. You have a free will and you make your own choices. You alone are responsible for your choices and they all have consequences. Do not blame God for what happens in your life. He has made it clear, I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE! The Lord stands at the door to your heart and knocks, He does not break the door down to get into your life. It is your choice to open the door to your heart and ask the Lord to come in and dwell with you! It is your choice to obey His Word, commandments and decrees. You are responsible!

It has been argued that the choices were only given at the time Jesus Christ was alive. The Word is very clear that the "Good News", was available to all people and at all times, which includes you. The blessings or the curse are meant for you right now today. If you obey the Lord you will be blessed. If you reject and disobey the Lord you will be cursed. You alone are in control of the results. "Look today, I am giving you a choice between blessing and cursing". God is giving you a choice and if you turn away from Him and reject Him you will be responsible for the consequences. That is why God is a just God, and why His judgement is perfectly fair. You cause the consequences. God says, I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!
