Romans 10:8-10
“But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
The entire world was stunned on Friday, March 11, with news of a powerful 8.9 earthquake and tsunami just off Honshu Island, Japan. The devastation was so huge and had such an impact that the world is still coping with it.
The thing that has struck me was just how quickly it happened. Almost every major catastrophe has also happened in a split second. People can be going about their business one minute and in great jeopardy the next.
It is tragic that we have many family, friends and co-workers who fail to make a decision for Christ. They know they need to confess their sins and ask Him into their heart, but they are waiting for a “more convenient time.” That “more convenient time” may never come for some.
The good news is that Jesus has offered eternal life to all who come to Him with a sincere heart to turn from their old way of living and invite Him to be the Lord of their life. The decision cannot—must not, be delayed. Remind those you know who are still outside the fold to remember March 11th!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
