OUTLINE:

Life
Life is short. Life has context. Without said context, our lives are vapid and we lack the perspective that gives us a sense of purpose. What’s worse than roaming the Earth without a purpose???

We Are Christ’s Bride
Christ has gone to prepare a home for His Bride (Jn 14:1-4), the Church (we believers). Those who were saved prior to the Church-Age will be there to celebrate our marriage in Heaven. (Rev 19:6-9)

1Pe 1:3 [Amplified]
Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above— spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Ac 16:31
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

1Pe 1:3 [Amplified]
Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above— spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Refusal to accept the Truth doesn’t change it.

Jn 6:44 [Amplified Classic]
No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day.

God saves the humble.

Mk 8:34
And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
