“…the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG on behalf of THOSE WHOSE HEART is 1LOYAL TO HIM.“ (2 Chron. 16:9) 1shâlêm: those who have completely committed their lives to God. A personal relationship with Jesus is the most important decision we will ever make IN OUR LIVES. It is unlike any other relationship we could ever have. If we go into eternity without this relationship, we will spend eternity APART FROM HIM. “…the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the LAKE WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Rev. 21:8) This is the result of an UNCOMMITTED life but God’s desire is, “…our hearts be FULLY COMMITTED TO THE LORD our God, to live by His decrees and obey His commands…” (1 Kings 8:61)
The Lord’s desire for us (as we see) is to be fully committed to Him but also to be committed to sharing the Word of God. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to ALL CREATION.” (Mark 16:15) Not: This gospel SHOULD be preached. Not: This gospel MIGHT be preached. BUT: This gospel SHALL be preached.
THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN THE WHOLE WORLD AS A TESTIMONY TO ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME…(Matt. 24:14)
