Thus declares the Lord of hosts, "Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 1:3)
January 27, 2020 - This is the call of the Lord to all people, that all should return to him, that all should turn from their wicked ways, repent of their sins, seek his face and pray to him for salvation.
The Lord makes this call for he does not wish that any should perish but that all should reach repentance.
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
And why would the Most High worry or care about all men, why should he wish that none should perish in the fires of hell?
It's simple, because his Son, Jesus Christ, died for the sin of all men, that all men simply by accepting his free gift of salvation could then be saved from the penalty of their sin, which is death of the spirit.
Does God really love us that much and wish for our repentance and redemption?
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
But why one might ask is mankind doomed to perish without the salvation that only comes through Christ Jesus?
Because of the original sin of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (Genesis 3:15-17)
Now Eve ate the fruit of the tree and gave it to Adam and he too ate of it.
God then cast them out of the garden, forever, and due to this original sin against God, from that day forth the earth and all men have been accursed. All must therefore repent of their sins to gain redemption and salvation for without salvation all are dead in their sins forever.
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." (John 3:17)
There is no other way to secure one's salvation except through belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." (John 3:18)
Condemned not by God but by the sin of Adam and Eve. All must reach repentance or face the penalty of their sin which is death.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
All must decide between life in Christ Jesus or death in the darkness, forever away from God, suffering the torment of eternal fire and damnation in hell.
Return to God and he will return to you and save you from your sins.
Which will it be for you, life in Christ, or death in hell?
All must choose, please my friends, choose wisely for your eternity depends upon this decision.
May God's blessings be upon you forever and ever!!!
