Post Resurrection Day Actions

As with post-hurricane recovery, people need to make responses to offers for help as well as what to do with insurance claim funds. Do you rebuild back the same or different? Do you move to another location? Many
responses have to be made immediately as well as over time.

So, what is your response to Resurrection Day? It is complete. Jesus did everything for us as far as sin and death is concerned. You make that decision yourself to accept this offer. No one can do it for you. It is not an automatic event for anyone. Like a coupon, it has to be applied to you personally. The offer is made as stated in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world (you), that He gave His Only Son, that whoever believes in Him (Jesus), will not die but have eternal life”.

So, have you applied Jesus to your life? You cannot do anything yourself to obtain heaven.
It is already done.

Many world religions say that you have “to do” something to gain eternity.
Christianity says it is “done”. Jesus completed it. You serve Jesus because you love Him, not to gain eternal life by your works.

I have had people say to me after surviving an illness or accident “I guess God has something else for me to do since I am still here.”

• * My response: “Ask Him to show you what it is He wants you to do and He will show you so that you can live and obey Him.”
• * Your response can be:  I don’t care, so what, maybe later, God will understand if I live my life like I want and at the end bless me,
• * Your response can be: Yes, Lord I want to live for you and do your will, whatever it takes.
  So, what do you say?
