Look past the Noise

“For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

Today’s world and society is noisy and is getting noisier every day.

The entire world is in chaos, not just select parts of the world and with the increased tensions and divisions the leaders are not seeking God’s wisdom and direction. In fact, quite the opposite.

How do we have peace in these times? By understanding that none of this escapes God’s eyes and in fact none of this surprises Him.

Some say that things are falling apart. Those who know Scripture are aware that everything is falling into place, and we have a confidence that comes from knowing the full story and what Scripture says about the future.

Do you know where your soul is going after this life is over? If you are one who says “There is no God” did you know that evidence of God surrounds us all, leaving no one with an excuse when this life is over to say they never knew?

The Bible says that what can be known about God is plain to everyone, because God has shown it to all.

Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)

The Bible is clear that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again (John 3:3).

John 3:18 explains in the simplest terms who will go to heaven and who will go to hell: “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” So, those who go to hell are specifically those who do not believe in Jesus’ name.

Simply put, if you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, by grace alone, through faith alone, you will spend eternity in heaven. If you do not receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will be eternally separated from God (Matthew 25:46).

The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

We can choose to trust in Jesus’ payment for our sin, or we can choose to pay for our sins ourselves—but we must remember that the payment for our sin is eternity in hell.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31)
