Dear Sir,
I have read the information on your site and the
"encouraging" e-mails. Since the "encouragements" tend to be comments, I
would to make one as well. I am not going to express my opinion but what I
believe is the ultimate authority. Nothing I say could cause an anxious
thought in the mind of man nor could I persuade anyone in the direction of
Christ. I believe the Bible when it states "Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the Word of God"(Romans10:17). The following is a passage from
the Bible which you may or may not have read or heard before. I pray you
read intently and not passively for it is evidence either for or against your
beliefs.
3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of
his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are
ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that
then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and
the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 ¶ But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 ¶ 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.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up.
11 ¶ Seeing then that all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of
God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is
salvation; (2Peter 3:3 - 15)
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts
16:31)
