Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back. For the grave cannot praise Thee, death can not celebrate Thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known Thy truth. The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. (Isaiah 38:17-20)
The dead can not praise Him for they do not know Him. There is no celebration for those that die without Christ. Our hearts must be as burdened for those around us that do not have a secure born again relationship with Jesus Christ as His is. He is not willing that any should perish, but that they would come to a knowledge of the Truth. And He is Truth. His Word is Truth. We serve a risen, living Saviour that will save to the uttermost all those that come to Him in Faith. We have a message of Hope. Hope in this world, and in the next for those that truly believe.
For the lost person who has never experienced the new birth, and received new life in Christ: GOD loves you and wants to make you one of His children, to walk in newness of life with Him and be forgiven. To fellowship with Him daily, and learn of Jesus Christ. He simply wants you to surrender to Him on His terms and repent of your sIn that has separated you from a Righteous and Holy GOD.
Place your faith and trust in the GOD of all Creation and receive His gift of salvation. It will be a journey of discipleship that begins now, and will never end.
If you are a disciple of Christ share His message of love and grace to all you meet that they might believe and be saved.
In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
