When You Know God Is Real
Ray Evans • January 22, 2020
If you're like most "Christians," you go to church, throw a few bucks in the collection plate, think you have eternal life and will go to heaven when you die. Sound familiar?
I hate to burst your bubble, but going to church and throwing money in the collection plate won't get you to "heaven" or assure you eternal life...nor will saying a little prayer and confessing that Jesus is Lord. You must be born-again.
What does that mean?
Like physical birth, Spiritual birth is an experience. It can't be explained, any more than you can explain the taste of salt to someone who has never tasted salt. Only women who have experienced it, know what giving birth is like. Likewise, with Spiritual birth, only those who have experienced it, know what it's like.
A lot of preachers say that you are "born-again" when you accept Jesus; perhaps; but when you're "born-again," your thinking changes. You will have a hunger and thirst for God's word and an insatiable desire to please God. Every thought and action will be filtered thru the Holy Spirit. You cannot sin, without being convicted of the sin...conviction leads to repentance and repentance to forgiveness.
If this doesn't describe your life, you have not been born again. You may be religious; you may be a good person; but that doesn't mean you're a child of God.

When God reveals himself to you, it is an unforgettable experience; you will no longer hope, assume or even "believe' God is real...you will know it. "And in that day thou shalt say, Oh Lord, I will praise thee" Until then, nothing else matters.

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
2 Timothy 3:16
