Repent While You Can
When I make preachy posts about Christianity, God, sin, and/or the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I do it because I am thoroughly convinced of the truth of these things, because I am convinced that there is coming a Judgment, and because I love you all.
I am desperately afraid for those of you who are outside the grace of God. My gut clenches when I consider where you’re headed, what will happen to you if you don’t repent and turn to Jesus.
God has given me a staggering blessing in being raised by genuine Christians who have been for my whole life deeply devoted to the truth of the Word of God. And beyond my parents, I’ve had God-fearing grandparents, teachers, mentors, and friends at every turn, constantly moving me along in my understanding of the Christian faith. This blessing God has given me was not frivolous. God has conditioned me to preach the Gospel, and if I don’t do it, the blood of the many in my sphere of influence will be on my hands.
My mission is to love you all, as Jesus commanded. The chief expression of this love is my constant preaching of the Gospel of Jesus to you, which is the way of life, the only way to escape the coming Judgment. I love you too much to keep my mouth shut. I love you too much not to warn you again and again and again. I don’t speak out against sin in its various forms because I hate you and want you to be unhappy, or because I crave conflict, or because I think you’re less than me. I really desperately do not want you to die in your sins. I really desperately want you to repent before God and come to Jesus, and find life in His name.
Go before God in prayer, confess your sins and ask Him to save you. Confess that you believe Jesus died to save you, and ask Him to include you in the convenant. Then swear fealty to Jesus as your King, and commit to giving Him your entire life.
Please, I beg you, do not ignore the warning. Do not put off the decision. Repent and believe now, while you can.
