This is echoed by sayings like YOLO, you only live once, and hosts of others. People, why is it so hard to believe, admit, understand, be ok with the fact that we all are hellbound in a basket of gas and dynamite, without salvation? YESHUA said, "29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30 New King James Version (NKJV)) He proved that in His teachings, action, and interactions. He preached from the scriptures on the importance of salvation, being saved from sin. Yet, as He predicted, He was, is, and will be rejected by His own, and ultimately the world.
The world is fooled by the devil to glorify self, materialism, and satan himself. This is sin 101! It's not only the non-believers, but believers as well. The whole premise is to drive us from YHWH, so we suffer the fate of satan with him, classic misery loved company syndrome.
Were we created to be naive, stupid, puppets, slaves? NO! Yet, here we are, all of those things and more, and still willingly won't admit we are sinners and need salvation. Stiff-necked, self absorbed brood of vipers! The wages of sin is death, and eternity away from He who made us.
Salvation does three things for us sinners. One, its proof we place YHWH above all, including self, which staves off our judgment for our crimes against Him. Secondly, it breaks the hold of sin in your life and all of its aspects. Lastly, it allows the blood of Christ and the work of Holy Spirit to convict sin, point out sinful ways to the person, and remove condemnation, wrath of God, from the equation.
Salvation is needed in this world, and it's free too all. "9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death". (Revelation 12:9-11 New King James Version (NKJV))
It's time to seek YHWH and run from sin. Stop toying with your place in eternity. Find salvation in Christ, He will not fail you.
