3 Leonardo and the King of France

The sins which would have barred forever a our entrance into heavens glories can be cleansed away by the Saviors blood. The wonderful truth for every one who believes on Gods Son is that their sins are gone. They have received the forgiveness of sins not in lieu of any good qualities they might posses, but because they have placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross. And being forgiven, when they pass out of this world they will enter into the presence of their Lord.

The sad truth for all those who never come to faith in Christ is that they will be lost for eternity. Sin is a terrible thing because it has the power to sink people into hell. It is not the harmless plaything many people would like to believe it is. God hates sin. There is no such thing as small sins. All sin is really an affront to the majesty of God. It is really saying unto him, You are not the supreme being in the universe. I am just as competent to know right and wrong as you, and therefore can choose to do whatever I want.

Sin brings about a state of separation from God in this life, and unless a person repents and turns to the Lord Jesus in faith in their life time, this seperation will be continued in the next life in a place of eternal punishment.

What a bleak future awaits those who never see their need of salvation. A criminal might receive a prison sentence for x number of years, and stagger under the weight of their punishment.

Leonardo and the King of France 4

But what will it be for you, if you never come to the Lord Jesus, when you pass out of this world, and you stand before the great Judge, and you hear him say, Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. How will you reel under the staggering weight of an eternal punishment!

The good news is that no one needs to perish. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life. At the cross the Lord Jesus made the supreme sacrifice that we might be forgiven. Christ died for our sins. Dont trifle with sin but believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to have those sins washed away.

According to the legend, Leonardo died in the arms of a great King. Wont you accept the Savior so that if death takes you, you might enter into the wonderful presence of the Lord Jesus? It is no legend, but truth indeed, that Jesus Christ died, rose again, and now waits to receive all those who believe on him in this life to heaven above. What a moment for every believer that will be, when all sorrows including death disappear, and they enter with joy unspeakable into the presence of their Lord. Dont miss it for anything in this world. Place your trust in Him now, even before you lay down this little paper. Behold now is the accepted time; Behold today is the day of salvation.
