The most terrible warning to impeni-tent men in all the world is the death of Christ. For if God spared not His only Son, on whom was only laid im-puted sin, will He spare sinners whose sins are their own? - CHARLES SPURGEON
Some people say that God will not judge anybody in this world. That He will over look the sins in their lives because they were not that bad. Is this true?God hates sin so much that he can not look past one sin. Adam and Eve only sinned once, look what happened to them. If God would kill his own son for sins that were not his, what will he do to each one of us that sin every day? This is the facts that the lost need to know. Without the blood of Christ they will face this same God one day to answer for every one of their sins. Without Christ there is no hope only hell.Speak to a lost person today, share the love of Christ while you still can.

Your Life
Many come to know Jesus as the Way. A few more go on to know Him as the Truth. But very few go on to know Him as their life.
When we say we know Jesus what does that mean? Do you think of Him as just a wise man or a teacher? Do you see Him as the Son of God and believe every word that he has told you?It's not only knowing that Christ is the way and the truth but believing his every word, turning your whole life over to him. He does not wont a part of your life He wants it ALL. Paul tells us in 2 Cor. 5:17 about how we are to be a brand new creation when we are in Christ. In closing I ask you to ask yourself, do I know Christ, but the most important question, does Christ know you?

Billions
The 3.5 billion unreached people on earth would form a single file line that would stretch around the equator 25 times! Can you picture 25 lines of Christless people, trampling endlessly toward hell? Let that vision stay with you day and night."—Larry Stockstill
This should help us realize how many lost people there is in this world. Think about looking at all these people walking of into the pits of hell. What a awful sight to see, but what are we doing about it? Are we sitting on the side line and watching them go by or are we jumping in the crowd doing all we can to tell them about what is in front of them if they do not turn their life over to Christ.

Conscience
Guilt is the feeling produced by a violated conscience. The Bible speaks of a "good" conscience, and among other things, a "seared" conscience. A seared conscience is one that has lost its life on the outside, like a seared steak. The conscience has become callous so that it loses its ability to feel guilt. An old drunk staggered into his home and collapsed on his floor. His faithful old dog snuggled up to him and waited for him to wake up. Suddenly, around midnight, the dog began to bark. It barked and barked. It was the last thing that old drunk wanted to hear. He stumbled to his feet, grabbed a wooden chair and threw it at the dog.In the morning, the drunk awoke and was horrified to find that everything of value in his home had been stolen. The only things left were a broken chair and a dead dog. Thieves had broken in and stolen everything he had, and the dog was trying to warn him. He had killed the best friend he ever had. Your conscience is like that dog. Don’t kill your best friend. It's there to warn you. To put it another way, if you dull your conscience so that you don’t feel guilt, you are like a man who removes the batteries from his smoke detector, because he doesn’t want to be disturbed by its alarming sound. The conscience is there to warn you, and it should drive you to the mercy of God in Christ. That may not seem like a big deal now, but it will on Judgment Day.Again, it doesn't matter whether you feel guilty. Even if you've hardened your conscience so you no longer hear it, you still are guilty before a righteous God. The God-given sense of guilt is there to warn you of your condition of guilt so you'll do something about it. Ray Comfort
God gave everyone of us a conscience. Con means "with" and science means "Knowledge". We all are born with this knowledge of right and wrong but we don't listen to it like we should. When God speaks to you through your conscience listen to him. If you think you should not do something that is questionable, don't do it. When you speak to people about Christ remember they have a conscience and God's law will show them they are guilty before Him and their need for a savior.

Always
I am with you always." -- Matthew 28:20It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us.It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea oflife.O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten,decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides for everfaithful to thee.Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of adeceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amiddescending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure.Mysoul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet;store thy jewels where thou canst never lose them.Put thine all inChrist; set all thine affections on his person, all thy hope in hismerit, all thy trust in his efficacious blood, all thy joy in hispresence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction.Remember that all the flowers in the world's garden fade by turns, andthe day cometh when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth.Death's black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle.Oh! how sweetto have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon rollbetween thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to him who willnever leave thee; trust thyself with him who will go with thee throughthe black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land theesafely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with him in heavenlywho never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee,and who will never let thee leave him, even "Jesus Christ, the sameyesterday, and to-day, and for ever." "Lo, I am with you always," isenough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me.places for ever.Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets tothe Friend who sticketh closer than a brother.Trust all thy concernswith him Charles Spurgeon

No matter how bad things may get praise his name, God will use it for good.When things are going well, praise his name. Praise him in the morning, praise him always. We have a tendency to only go to Him when we come across bad times, we need him 24/7. So go to him with all your problems, go to him with all of you thankfulness. Just GO to him he will take care of you.
