Bucket List 🪂
Many people have a Bucket List
A lot of them have Skydiving on that list. How about you? Are you interested in bungie jumping or Sky Diving?
Will Smith once talked about the thrill of Skydiving.
A thought to consider:
Think about it for a minute. Salvation is so important that you get right with God today, and that you do not trust in yourself to get you into Heaven. Don't trust in self righteousness; your works, your 'goodness'. God said getting saved, getting into Heaven is based on Jesus work, not based on works. He also said Today is the day of Salvation, & warned that tomorrow is not guaranteed. If you die in your sins there is only Judgment and eternal Hell. So, understanding the gospel shows that certain Fear is your friend not your enemy.
Will Smith once spoke in an interview about skydiving. He talked about how scary it was to actually take the leap. I'm saying don't leap into eternity with out Christ. Sharing the 10 commandments with you and showing you how you measure up to God's standard and what he will judge each person by is important. Once you see the danger, you will immediately grab at the solution. If you try to cling to your works and goodness, trusting in yourself, to get into Heaven, it won't work! It is like a man, at 10,000 feet in the air in a plane who has to jump cuz the plane is going down (to crash), but he's decided he's going to jump out and flap his arms thinking that will get him safely to the ground. No. If he jumps on his own, He Will Die. He will face the consequences of his decision. But, if someone came over to him and said no dont do that, dont jump out trying to save yourself... put on this parachute! Your trust in the parachute will bring you peace and save you. You will live if you put the parachute on. The parachute is symbolic for putting on Christ. Trust in Jesus like that parachute. Scripture tells us We are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. We put on his righteousness. He took our place on the cross so we can take His place. He died for our sins so we could be forgiven, because of what Jesus did. He did it all. 100%. Jesus before his last breathe on the cross said It Is Finished. He died and rose again 3 days later, proving He had victory over the grave, and that everything that had been foretold in Scripture, for Man's salvation, was completed through Him. It is finished.
In order for us to be saved, we must repent of sin (total repentance and forsaking of all sin), and trusting in Jesus. Trusting that HE paid the penalty that was meant for us, He paid it so we could go free from punishment. The fine is paid. If we receive this payment on our behalf God the Father and the Just Judge can close your case and set you free. And on top of that, God tells us in Scripture that when we obey the gospel (repent and trust in Jesus), not only does he give us spiritual life, but he gives us the free gift of Eternal life. And as the promise of that he sends the Holy Spirit into us to seal us eternally, and as proof of our salvation. He teaches us what Scripture says, and helps us walk the Christian life, becoming more and more like Christ until we go to Heaven. When we enter Heaven we are perfected and given an eternal body.
Pray to God today and get right with Him. Repent of your sin, Trust in Jesus.
