MY FRIENDS, THE BRIDEGROOM HAS BEEN DELAYED NOW WHAT?

MY FRIENDS, THE BRIDEGROOM HAS BEEN DELAYED NOW WHAT?

“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Then God sends a message. The earth will be destroyed by water in 120 years so prepare.

My friends, so long to wait, what would you have done. So the antediluvian’s salvation depended upon them believing God’s message. But it was rejected and the Spirit of God was withdrawn and all but Noah “who had found “grace in the eyes of the Lord” and his family were saved.

And then God gave the world “His only Begotten Son that who so-ever believes in him may have life eternal” But God knew many would not accept the plan of Salvation. even His chosen, many will be “destroyed for lack of knowledge” because they rejected God’s word and saving grace.

And Christ, while on this earth, looked down through the final Days of the History of man and the same power that warned the antediluvian’s in the days of Noah, also gives a warning to you and I who are living in the 21^st century.

“Through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” 2 Peer 6:3-7 (NASV)

But my friends, this is a choice we make of our on choosing which only occurs when we reject God’s precepts and His warnings that are found in His word, “so it is then that God withdraws His Spirit and leaves all who rejects His love and grace to the deceptions that they each love on this earth.”

I can’t say it enough. “narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life eternal, and there will be only a few who will find or even try and find it.” Matt. 7:14 (NKJV) And it has nothing do with the road being unattainable only difficult.

But His word tells us there is no “temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Cor. 10:13 (NIV)

But many will reject the pleadings of Christ to allow the transforming power of God’s Spirit to take complete control of their lives. My friends 2,000 years and we still wait on Christ second.

And even though God is “long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV) God’s warning is still “For we are fully aware that the day of the Lord” will come “In just a little while, for he who is coming will come and will not delay.” Heb. 10:37 (NIV)

And during this time when we all should be searching the scriptures and praying as we take the good news to our family, friends, love-one’s, neighbors, coworkers and a world lost in sin. many have decided to slumber and sleep.

But “at midnight, a cry will be heard: “Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out and meet Him. And all who decided to enter the narrow gate though difficult, through their faith endured, and now wait too hear well done thou good and faithful servant.

But to the foolish who said His coming is delayed, many things on that wide road that leads to destruction I still must discover will not be ready. Then the door will be shut” never to be open again.

Every excuse we may give as the reason we cannot serve Christ, was challenged and answered at Calvary.
