If today isn't "judgment day", how about...

Many know that today has been predicted by some to be "judgment day". Scripture says no man knows the day or the hour. Enough to that discussion for now.

As many non-Christians will be using the "missed judgment day" for making fun of Christians today, how about asking people this question today or in the next week....

So obviously judgment day didn't happen as man predicted, but what do you think happens when....
  • our time on earth is over
  • we die and leave this world
  • you've breathed your last earthly breath
  • a hundred years from now you and all your loved ones have all passed away
No matter how you word it, why not remind everyone that the new statistic is 10 out of 10 people die - 100% of us will all eventually quit living, the question of eternity is at stake and we have a great conversation starter for the next few days with this whole story of today not being the day of the rapture, so why not share the message of eternal life (vs. eternal death) with someone who won't live here forever.

Start a conversation with someone today about eternity and present them the saving gospel of Jesus Christ who died for their sins so that if they will repent and live by faith, they might find eternal life. 
  • for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
  • There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20)
  • All our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
  • Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, (Hebrews 9:27)
  • For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23a)
  • “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)
  • God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
  • For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. (1 Peter 3:18)
  • the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23)
  • If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ... “anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. (Romans 10:9-11)
  • Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14;6)

Live holy, preach Jesus!
