Let’s get personal about your relationship with Jesus Christ. In our high-tech society it is becoming increasingly easy to become impersonal. As believers in Jesus Christ we must risk getting personal with people about the most important question in the Bible. According to Warren W. Wiersbe that question is, “What do you think of Jesus?”
Did you know you may believe weighty facts about Jesus and still be lost?
Jesus issues a solemn warning in Matthew 7:21–23: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’”
Did you know you may have warm feelings for Jesus and still be lost?
A sower goes out to sow the seed of the gospel. Matthew 13:20–21 reads, “But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the Word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately he stumbles.”
Did you know you may claim wonderful friendship with Jesus and still be lost?
As Judas approached Jesus to betray Him, Matthew 26:50 records, “But Jesus said to him [Judas Iscariot], ‘Friend, why have you come?’” Jesus is citing a word from Psalm 41:9, “Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.” Remember Judas Iscariot called Jesus teacher, but he never called Him Lord or Master as the other apostles did. Judas was a false friend or a friend who pretends to be a friend.
Will you have eternal rejoicing or eternal regret? Allow me to encourage you to repent of your sin and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the One who died and rose from the grave to provide eternal life.
