CHOOSE LIFE WHILE THERE IS TIME!

By Bishop Dale Collins

Moses, a great man of God, said in Deuteronomy 30:19, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” Everyone must make a choice concerning JESUS. There are four reasons listed below as to why YOU should choose life while there is still time. The first reason you should not delay in surrendering your life completely to CHRIST is that God really gives His children the good life. People living in the world cannot even imagine how happy real Christians are. We have God helping us, blessing us, healing us, moving for us in every way and in every situation that arises throughout our life. Yes, we have some problems and we have obstacles to overcome; but the difference is the real child of God has got someone to help them in the time of need. In Psalm 71:3b we read, “Thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.” Jesus is more reliable to us than even our own families. He is always here to help us in time of need. This is one benefit of turning to God NOW so you can become a child of God and receive His help.

Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open until their cry. The face of the lord is against them that do evil, to cut off remembrance of them from the earth.” What is it going to take for you, my sinner friend, to wake up to the fact that you need the Savior? To those who have once known God and have backslidden, you will find Him right where you left Him. “The way of the transgressor is hard” Proverbs 13:15b. Now you know why things are hard for you and you don’t have real peace or joy. It is all waiting for you when you repent and become old-time Christian. Another fact is that most of those who put off salvation will never be saved.

Over a period of time sin is constantly hardening your heart and you will from this time on after reading this tract, drift farther from God. Millions of tombstones could be marked “I MEANT TO.” Why waste your life, talents, money etc. in the world when you can come to Jesus now and repent of your sins? Don’t let your heart get so hard that you will never be able to find God and live for Him. The Bible says in Genesis 6:3, “My Spirit shall not always strive with man…” so you need to heed the Gospel call TODAY! Many people wait until it is TOO LATE to turn to God. Will you be like that and ignore the pleading conviction of the Holy Ghost that is dealing with you right now? In Exodus 7:4A the Bible says, “And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened.” Pharaoh had seen some of the greatest miracles of the Bible, but even that was not able to penetrate his hard heart. He died lost WITHOUT GOD. In Revelation 9:20-21 we read that after God had poured put all the plagues upon the earth that “the rest of the men…repented not of the works of their hands…” They had seen all the plague that God had poured out, but their hearts were too hard to repent, and they, too, died lost WITHOUT GOD, and I feel like that today if they could send you a message from Hell, they would say, ‘REPENT, AND TURN TO GOD WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME.”

Another reason to make this decision to come to Christ and REPENT is that “Death is coming, and its arrival at your house is unannounced.” It may come in the morning or at noon. Death might arrive at your door during the night. We never know exactly when death will arrive, but we know from the Bible that it is surely coming for you and for me. Hebrews 9:27 says, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment…” It is a fact that billions of people that have lived on the earth have had to face death, and ALL WILL HAVE TO FACE THE JUDGMENT OF GOD. ARE YOU READY TO FACE DEATH AT THIS VERY MOMENT? ARE YOU REALLY READY TO STAND BEFORE GOD AT THE JUDGMENT LIKE YOU ARE LIVING TODAY? Many have been taught that they will get another chance to turn to God, but my dear friend, when you die, you will never have another chance to REPENT and turn to God. It will be TOO LATE! Some think that their friends and relatives can pray them out of purgatory or pay them out, but this doctrine is not found on any page in the Bible.

God’s Word says in Revelation 22:11-12, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” You will never get another chance to repent, and you will spend all eternity in the lake of fire. Many people are caught out of the ark of safety by death and they die lost. People get sick and die. They are killed in accidents. We do not know how or when we will depart from this life, but I do know that the door of mercy today is opened to you. Death is coming. Judgment is coming. ARE YOU REALLY READY?

The last reason for not putting off Salvation is that the end of the world is coming. It will catch people by surprise since most people live as if they expect to live in their sin forever and be alright, but the Bible tells us that there will be an end to this world and to sin. Multitudes will wait until the end of the world has come and it will be too late. In Revelation 16:17 we read, “…It is done.” God pronounces that the chance to be saved is over. The end is coming, and it will catch many unaware. Matthew 24:14 says, “And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and THEN SHALL THE END COME.” We are sending these tracts out by the thousands to many different countries to be a witness for the Lord. God’s work is almost over on the earth, and the harvest is ripe. I plead with you to come to God today while there is still time. Jesus is coming, for in Luke 12:40 we are to “Be ye therefore ready also; for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Jesus is coming at the end of the world, and it will be a surprise to the unprepared people. But He has told the Christians to be watching and praying lest “…that day come upon you unawares” Luke 21:34.

You now know that the longer you wait the harder your heart will become and the statistics show that you probably will never come to God. You now know that you are in a race with death and that death may catch you at any time thus ending your opportunity to become a child of God. You now know that time is running out because the end of the world is coming and Jesus is going to return to get His SAINTS, and the angels of God will reap the harvest of the children of the world. You will in one of these two groups and I am pleading with you to come to god and repent of your sins while you still have the time to do so. Hebrews 3:15 says, “…Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts…” Jesus is calling to you sinner friend. Please heed His call to come to Him. The Bible says that “Today is the day of Salvation, behold, now is the accepted time,” II Corinthians 6:2. Isaiah the Prophet was moved on by the Holy Ghost to call unto you my dear friend. Please hear his voice in Isaiah 55:6-7, “Seek ye the lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” My dear friend, won’t you please turn to God today? You will be glad you did!
