WHY SHOULD YOU DIE?

1. SIN is not what you think it is; it is not what you do, it is who you are "Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but SIN DWELLETH IN ME” [Romans 7:20] SIN is Satan working in man to live contrary to the WILL of God. SIN crept into man when Satan overcame Adam and Eve with deception in Eden,  “… for of whom a man is OVERCOME, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE” [2 Peter 2:19] They disobeyed God, became ensnared in cruel BONDAGE to SIN and we through them  lost the LIKENESS of God's GLORY. For the records, all men are born enslaved to SIN, unable to do what is right by God because SIN dwells in us, “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the GLORY of God” [Romans 3:23]

2. SIN is one side of the coin, on the other side is DEATH. Through SIN, we are joined in sentence of DEATH with Satan; forever separated from God, “For the WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord” [Romans 6:23] Because SIN lives in our FLESH, this BODY must necessarily DIE, "And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the JUDGMENT" [Hebrews 9:27] We all have these TWO APPOINTMENTS before us; one with DEATH and JUDGEMENT, the other with Jesus Christ and ETERNAL LIFE. WHY SHOULD YOU DIE?

3. I challenge you to choose Jesus Christ, who is God revealed to us, "To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELf, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation" [2 Corinthians 5:19] God became like us to destroy SIN in this BODY and put DEATH to shame, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of FLESH and BLOOD, HE also HIMSELF took part of the same; that through DEATH he might destroy him that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEATH; And deliver them who through FEAR OF DEATH were all their lifetime SUBJECT TO DEATH” [Hebrews 2:14-15]

4. WHY SHOULD YOU DIE, when DEATH is swallowed in the VICTORY of Jesus Christ.The Lord Jesus Christ defeated DEATH on the Cross when He gave His LIFE as ransom for our paid for our SIN. All He requires of you is genuine REPENTANCE and that you accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord" [Acts 3:19] If you are in doubt or in need of counselling, SMS +2348074318009
