Thought of Repent and Salvation
Just came across to Bible verses in Revelation 2:16-17"
Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it"
There is a time when God can become angry to His people. My remembrance returns again to where I just read a story when God punished Sodom and Gomora. When God asked Elijah to kill all the Baal-Propherts. Well these all are true based on Christian belief in the Bible.
Even though sometime I think it's more difficult to believe in God in these days. Human being has achieved to a level where many things are satisfactory. Without prayer to God it seems we can find way out of our problem. However I myself certain that I can not live without believe in God, but I must say that many people around me find it's 'okay' to live without God. At least that's how it appears to me in my current condition.
This morning, as I said earlier, a verse from Revelation 2:16-17 reminded me that He has his anger. A punishment which leads to eternity if we don't believe in Him. Why that case may happen? According to the Bible, where it have been revealed to many prophets who wrote the Bible, God has a plan to establish a place, a nation where no more sin, evil thing will exist. A place where God as the Creator and us as the creation can be united and no more be separated as we do in this Earth. There actually the basic idea why human needs to repent. Believe Him or not, He does exist.
I started to believe in God wholeheartedly, in October 1996. It was the time where I firstly thought about my eternal future. What a nasty question from someone to me at that time: "Where will you go if you die now?". That question, I must admit, scared me and caused me to feel unsequre in my live during that time. I found out that I could not help myself to be satisfied by my condition. And I came across to some verses in the Bible that strenghtened me that God has his promise to save human being who believe Jesus His son.
From that time up to now, I have realized that God has secured my place in His Kingdom. A place where I would meet other believers, talk about God's mercy and grace, cheer others and share what we have experienced in the previous life. Thank You Lord for Your mercy.
