~If you're born twice, you die once.
Meaning: Every human being is born physically, but not everyone is born again spiritually. If you experience the second birth (being born again and becoming God's child), you can only die the physical death. You will live eternally with God in heaven.
But if you are only born once, you will die twice.
Meaning: You were born physically, and later you will die physically. And then, you will die spiritually in hell where it is dark and full of sin and terror, separated from God forever.
So, which type of life would you rather live?
"Whoever is the Friend of the World is the Enemy of God."
"If the devil unkindly reminds you of your past (before you were saved), kindly remind him of his future (when he will be cast into the lake of fire)."
-Psalm 101:3
A good way to remind ourselves to guard our eyes is to post a sticky note with this verse on it on every visual appliance(computer and t.v.) in our house.
Are you upbeat or beat up?
Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Are you sold out to the world or to God? Or are you in the middle?
3 Characteristics of being "Sold out to God"
•1- separated from the world
•2- saturated in the Word: love It and love God's people
•3- successful in the Work: our purpose in life is to glorify God and we should be doing our best to be successful in God's work.
There is no middle. You are either sold out to the world or to God.
There is no middle. You are either sold out to the world or to God.
