Because Jesus saved us
Because Jesus saved us
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We deserve death
Because we are sinners
Because we have done horrible things
But Jesus gave us life
Jesus suffered and died
Jesus paid the priceto save us
So we should be willing to use our lives to serve him
It doesn’t really matter what we what
It doesn’t really matter what our heart says if our king Jesus who shed his blood on Calvary says something different
We should be willing to do what he wants
So what does he want?
Because it is our resonable service
Because it is our resonable service
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
He wants for us to present ourselves as a living sacrifice
That means we have no control
That means we have no rights
That means that the most comfortable or logical caree choice isn’t always the one we should take
And it makes sense
It makes sense in the light of the Gospel
For someone from the world it doesn’t make sense
To go to another country and spend your life there
But in the light of the Gospel it is just a logical choice
Because your life is short
Because your life is short
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
You don’t know how much time you have

You might only have 5 years left
So how are you going to use it
Even if you live to an old age you don’t have that much time
What do you want to do with your life?
What do you want people to write in your obituary
Steve Jobs
So how are you going to use your vapor?
Becuase there are people dying without Jesus
Becuase there are people dying without Jesus
And of some have compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
The reason that most people don’t to serve Jesus is because they don’t have compassion
They are selfish
We as humans are selfish
We only care about our own and what we want
It is interesting that the Bible says that you can make a difference
It is not just that some people are going to get saved and others won’t
The Bible says that you can have a part in that
You can make a differnce in peoples lives
It might take time
It might hurt you
Sometimes you won’t be able to make a difference
But with the people that you can help it will all be worth it
Because God wants everyone to be saved
Because God wants everyone to be saved
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Not just the people in america
All
96% of the world lives outside of america so a big part of that all is in other countries
He is giving us time to be able to take the Gospel to others
He isn’t slack
Or a procrastinater
He is longsuffering
There are many horrible things happening in the world
The truth is that the world does need judgement
Sin and sinners do need to be punished
But God is longsuffering
So we should use the time that God has given us to take the Gospel to others
