an offer we can't refuse


How often we get a very good bargain... A 50% discount on guitars, a free bottle of milk when you buy cornflakes or getting free toys with McD Happy Meals... And I could not think of the best offer that I ever heard...

The offer was made a long time ago, Jesus sealed that offer with his blood.... And the offer is....

"I will give you an eternal and pure life...I will help clean up your life and make you pure before me... i will protect you with my arms and i will love you forever, I will NEVER abandon you... I will give you joy and peace... All I ask from you is to believe and trust in me"

Now that's an offer we can't refuse... Many people around the world signed the contract with Jesus but after a short time, that contract was suspended and became invalid... And when they face Judgement before the Lord who reluctantly rejects them... They say...

"I signed this contract, SEE!!! Sealed with my signature and your blood... It's a valid contract"

What's the use of a signature when the terms are not being carried out? It's just a piece of rubbish... Only a contract that has being signed and has the terms and conditions carried out is a true contract...

The same thing happens when you get a loan from the bank and buy a car... It's true the agreement is signed but if the terms are not met, the car will be taken away... Same thing when we ask Jesus for eternal life, we go home and do things that is equivalent to spitting at the contract... Then the eternal life promised by Jesus has been taken away...

I know none of us including me are perfect... Many of us have shocked each other with sinful confessions in HG... We have dark secrets kept from everyone but Jesus... Porn, masturbation, playing satanic games, getting involved with the occult... We feel the guilt because we know we are children of God and this is not what we are supposed to behave... The Lord knows our pain, he knows we want to get out of it... Well, the feeling of guilt confirms that you love the Lord, those who don't care about what they do are lost...

So have you been abiding by the terms and conditions of your contract with Jesus?
