The Basic Truths of Life
Rick St. James - Old Paths Baptist Mission ©
Everyone that ever walked on this Planet must come to terms in this life with some basic TRUTHS.These will be the Basic Truths that no one can argue with, if they are sane.
Of course, if you believe what God says in His Own BOOK about you, then you will have no problem accepting these Basic Truths.
1. The Brevity Of Life.
"For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:14b)Our life is brief! like a vapor, or like smoke.
"Is there not an Appointed Time to man upon Earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?" (Job 7:1)
He is born, and then he will die!
This is certain! (The exception being Enoch and Elijah, and also, those believers in Jesus Christ who are alive when He comes for His Church.)
2. The Brevity Of Your Remembrance.
You will soon be forgotten.A man is remembered only a little while, and then he is forgotten.
"He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness." (Job 7:10 & 10:20-22)
3. The Sureness Of Trouble.
Life is bale full of troubles.I have also found this very true!!!
"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." (Job 14:1).
4. The Verity Of The White Throne Judgment.
"And as it is Appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).You will not miss this one unless YOU ARE HID in the CLEFT OF THE ROCK!
5. The Eternality And The Finality Of What You Do With Jesus Christ:
We will all be held accountable over this issue.It is a hard fact of life, my friend.
Now will you take God's offer of Eternal Life ... Purchased by His Son ... for all those who will put their Trust in Him ... a thumbs down?
You will Everlastingly Suffer the consequences!
6. That Men Never Learn From History.
We learn from History That Men Never Learn From History!It is a heart problem!
Men refuse to learn the "lessons" afforded by the light of HISTORY:
the recorded historical events which occurred as fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Now, these are the Basic Truths with which we all must deal with one way or another!
7. What Should You Do?
"But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the Word of Faith, which we Preach;"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath Raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
"For with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
"For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that Call upon Him.
"For whosoever shall Call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved"; [Romans 10:8-13]
