"You have shown me the path of life." - Reaching Out

"You have shown me the path of life."


Reaching Out

2:16 PM, Jun. 6, 2008 .. 1 comments .. Link

I was just informed that my next door neighbor passed away last night!

He had been sick for awhile, but after much prayer he was doing amazingly better. In fact he went on vacation to visit family since he was doing so well. But the first day out he ended up in the hospital, 2 weeks ago, and last night passed away. 

Now I sit here and wonder did I do enough. They were not believers. We tried to reach out as much as we could. But this is such a wake up call, we never know how much time anyone has. I can only hope and pray that in his last hours he came to know Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour. I had an oppurtunity to reach out to a lost soul and now that chance is gone. I can not explain the way I feel in side. I am so burdened for his wife. They are the sweetest couple. We are going to miss him so much. 

God tells us in the book of Romans that there are four things a person needs to know to be saved.

1. All have sinned, and are separated from God.

Romans 3:10, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Isaiah 64:6, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags."

2. The price for sin is death and hell.

Romans 6:23a, "For the wages of sin is death."
Revelation 21:8, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and *****mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

3. The good news is: Jesus paid the sin debt for all who will place the trust in Him as Savior.

Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:8-10, "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."

4. Call upon the name of the Lord to be saved.

Are you willing to make Jesus the Lord of your life, and do you desire to live for Him? 

Romans 10:9-10, "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."
Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

I was just thinking about ordering an E-Book: Say What You Mean, Defending the Faith the other day.

The Lord tells us in His Word...

"...be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” - from 1Peter 3:15

you can download a sample of this at  The Old School House Store  

I think I need to get this to help the family be more BOLD in our witnessing. My Husband has no problem and I know he planted many seeds into the lives of our neighbors. I want the children and I to be able to be Bold as well.

When you think of them please pray, Judy is her name and Rob was her husband that passed away. It is my prayer that we will be able to truly reach out and show her God's Love through all this!

I'm so sorry you are in this place. I know it so well. *sigh* It's hard when our neighbors don't spend a great deal of time talking with us or us with them. :'( How right you are -- no one knows how many days are allotted in a lifetime.

I'm sorry your neighbor passed. Perhaps you can be a blessing to his family. I'll be in prayer with you on that.

Love you, chica!
