YOU ARE SAVED!
Jesus and His followers were planning on visiting a village on the
way to Jerusalem but the people in the village refused to welcome
them because of manmade religious reasons. This made James and
John so angry they wanted to call fire down to destroy the people
like Elijah had done. Jesus responded that He “DID NOT COME
TO DESTROY HUMAN LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM” [Lk
9:52-56 GN]. Over the last two thousand years many, who claim
to follow Jesus, killed people who were non-believers and believers
who did not agree with their manmade doctrines. Some would then
brag that their manmade teachings must be from God because other
believers agree, ignoring the fact that they killed those who
disagreed. Of course there is no way to kill all non-believers, which
is not what Jesus encourages when He teaches, “LOVE YOUR
ENEMIES” [Mt 5:44]. However rejecting Jesus has consequences
as Jesus says, “HE WHO REJECTS ME … THE WORD THAT
I HAVE SPOKEN WILL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY”
[Jn 12:48 NKJ]. Be encouraged to welcome Jesus into your life.
