MY FRIENDS, WE ARE WITHIN REACH, WHAT IS YOUR DECISION?

“In My Father’s house are many mansions;” also when you enter “twelve gates [are] twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.”

But even though I try to explain what is being prepared for you “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him” And I [am now preparing this place for you but] I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” And even though Salvation and life eternal is free if you believe.

I “will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, [ I ] will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.” John 14:2-3 (NKJV), 2 Cor. 2:9 (NKJV), Rev 21:21 (ESV), and Romans 2:6-8 (ESV)

My friends we are within reach, or at the point of entry to the “promise land.” All that is required now is to hold on to our faith, endure, and eliminate self from our life as we carry out Christ commission and take the good news to all.

From Egypt to Canaan, the direct route was about 250 miles about a month Journey. But God needed to prepare Israel for the promise Land Remember they had been in slavery four hundred years.

So from the time they left Egypt “on the 14th day of the first month, this means they had been traveling one year, one month and one week, since leaving Egypt. (57 weeks)” And then within reach of the promise land their unbelief kept them from entering.

“So millions died in the wilderness just within reach of their destiny, so what does that say about us, six thousand years to prepare. Are we ready? “And now the Lord of glory was dying, a ransom for the race. In yielding up His precious life, Christ was not upheld by triumphant joy.

All was oppressive gloom. It was not the dread of death that weighed upon Him. It was not the pain and ignominy of the cross that caused His inexpressible agony. Christ was the prince of sufferers; but His suffering was from a sense of the malignity of sin, a knowledge that through familiarity with evil, man had become blinded to its enormity.

Christ saw how deep is the hold of sin upon the human heart, how few would be willing to break from its power. He knew that without help from God, humanity must perish, and He saw multitudes perishing within reach of abundant help.”(E. G. White, Desire of Ages pp 752-753)

Multitudes are perishing within reach, and not only multitude but God’s chosen who have decided to “Set there affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Col 3:2 (KJV)

My friends, God’s grace is still extended to each of us today but, we must decide to let self completely die and give it all to the Master as we “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matt. 7:13-14 (NKJV) Difficult my friends, not impossible. We make it difficult, God makes it possible if we just believe that “He is the way the truth and the life.

My Friends, where there is no vision, the people perish…..Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
