Before And After
Your Maker's Manual
Read and follow the Manufacturer's Instructions and you won't make the tragic mistake Diana made
The Glory of Israel (Jesus Christ) does not lie or change his mind: for he is not a man, that he should change his mind. Holy Bible 1 Samuel 15:29 NIV
I the Lord do not change. Mal. 3:6
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Heb. 13:8
... (God) does not change like shifting shadows. Jas 1:17
Ever since the fall into sin of Adam and Eve, God has been warning mankind that...
All of Us are Born Sinful, and Need to be Saved.
There is no-one who does good, not even one. There is no-one who is righteous, not even one. All have turned away. There is no fear of God before their eyes... Their mouths are full of deceit, cursing and bitterness. All have sinned and fall short of the glory (perfection) of God. Holy Bible, Ro. 3:10-23
This includes Di, 'Mother' Teresa, Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, Buddha, Mohammed, your sweet Grandma, me, and you.
Because of our sins death awaits everyone.
The soul who sins shall die. The wages of sin is death. Ez. 18 and Ro. 6:23
Man is destined to die once, and after that to face Judgment. Heb. 9:27
Listen you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city..." You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. Instead you should say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." Jas. 4:13-15
Jesus told about the rich fool who said to himself...
"You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and be merry."
But God said to him, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded of you. then you will get what you have prepared for yourself. (God's wrath on his sin.) Lk. 12:19-20
All Our "Good Deeds" are Useless to Save Us.
People are tricked into believing their "good deeds" can save them from God's wrath. But God has warned us that all our own efforts are useless.
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags...
The Hebrew word used for rag is the same as that used for a dirty menstrual cloth.
We all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. Holy Bible; Is. 64:6
When you realize how holy God is, it is obvious that all our 'good deeds' are soiled and useless to save us.
After Death Comes God's Judgment
Man is destined to die once, and after that to face Judgment. Heb. 9:27
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge. Jas 4:12
Christ Jesus... will judge the living and the dead. 2 Tim. 4:1
God will judge man's secrets through Jesus Christ. Ro. 2:16
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Heb. 4:13
For we will all stand before God's Judgement seat: It is written; As surely as I live, says the Lord, Every knee will bow before me; Every tongue will confess to God. Each of us will give account of himself to God. Ro. 14:10-12
Di will, Dodi will, 'Mother' Teresa will. I will, and you will. What are you going to plead?
God's Judgment is Perfectly Just and fair
God is a righteous Judge. Ps. 7:11
He will judge the world in righteousness. God will judge the adulterer, and all the sexually immoral. Heb. 13:4
You can't bribe God. He judges perfectly. Money, status and good deeds don't cut it with God. He has no favourites.
Only One Sacrifice is Acceptable to God for Sin
Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Heb. 9:22
And that blood has to be innocent sinless blood.
None of the following will take away your sin:
• Religion of any kind.
• Good works.
• Rites of any nature.
• Christening or confirmation.
• Church attendance.
• Burning candles or incense.
• Praying with beads, rosaries or chanting.
• Killing animals in sacrifice.
• Ignoring what God has said, and pretending you've not sinned.
• Living a life of abstinence and piety.
• Shedding your own blood.
None of these will help you at all when you face God.
Jesus' innocent Blood was shed to satisfy all the claims of sin against everyone, that is the only sacrifice God accepts.
He (Jesus) sacrificed for their sins once for all, when he offered himself. Heb. 7:27
Now he (Jesus) has appeared once for all... to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Heb. 9:26
He (Jesus) was delivered over to death for our sins... Ro. 4:25
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Ro. 5:8
Jesus said, "This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out... for the forgiveness of sins." Mtt. 26:28
So, since He died for everyone, we are all okay then, right? Wrong!
