Why God Chose You To Become One Of His Children?

Out of 7.4 billions of people this June 2016, China has 1.4 billions, India has 1.3, U.S.A. has 324 million, Indonesia has 258 million, Brazil has 205 million, Pakistan has 191 million, Nigeria has 188 million, Bangladesh has 162 million, Russia has 141 million, Mexico has 126 million, Japan has 126, Philippines has 103 million and others.  An average of 197,000 births and 82,000 deaths worldwide a day and an average growth of population of 114,000 a day worldwide Worldometers: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division.  Out of the total deaths of 82,000 people worldwide a day, how many souls go to hell and heaven a day?  Based on the book of Matthew 7:13-14, it is very clear that the road going to hell is very wide and broad compared to the road going to heaven which is very narrow and small.  If we will use also the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:1-23,  there are four places where the seed was sown, some fell on the path, some fell on rocky places, some fell among the thorns, and some fell on the good soil.  Considering these two teachings of Jesus, Matthew 7:13-14 gave us a hint that for every recorded deaths daily worldwide, only 10% will go to heaven and 90  will go to hell.  And in Matthew 13:1-23, this gave us a hint that only 25% will go to heaven and 75% will go to hell.  To sum up the two hints and divide these into two, this gives us at least 17.5% of the total deaths daily in the world will go to heaven or 17.5% of 82,000 or 14,350 and 67,650 souls will go to hell.  In a year, 5.2 million will go to heaven and 24,692,250 million will go to hell and this estimates are much lower compared to the estimates recorded and given by the two other credible sources, the www.jesus-is-savior.com and the cavern.uark.edu.

The bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life".  God sent his precious Son Jesus to die on the cross of Calvary as a proof that he really care for the salvation of mankind.  He knew the agony and pain all people will experience if he will not do it.  God meant, salvation of mankind and he meant a once and for all sacrifice and death of Jesus as the only acceptable offering to God to satisfy his holiness and that people will be saved from sure punishment.  "For all have sin and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23.  And "For the wages of sin is death, both physical and spiritual or eternal separation from the presence of God, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Friends, Jesus loves you and he has a wonderful plan in your life.  God doesn't want men to perish in hell as it says in the book of Revelation 21:8, "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.  This is the second death."  This is also written in details in the book of Paul in Galatians 5:19-21 that says, "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and  debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.  I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."

God wants that all men will repent from their sins.  This means, that man has to admit to himself and to God that he is a sinner and needs forgiveness, confess his sins and make a decisive decision to turn away from sins and to follow the teachings of Jesus written in his words and to live a new life.  The question is, are you ready to receive eternal life and not to suffer the punishment and agony in hell for eternity?  You are the one who will make a decision for you.  Don't wait that it will become too late to make a decision.  Remember that all men who live in sins are not normal people, they are abnormal cause this was not the original plan of God that man should be enslave to sin or be a victim of sin that leads to life without peace, harmony with the family and other people, worried in life and full of negativism, insecure and full of fear.  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

To all believers of Christ, God has given us the greatest commission in Matthew 28:18-20,  "Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  This is a commandment and needs our unconditional obedience.  People will perish if nobody will open his mouth to share the good news and we will all be accountable to their blood if we failed to open our mouth and warned them of the impending judgment or punishment if people will not repent Ezekiel 3:16-21. Sixty seven thousand five hundred fifty people are dying everyday without Christ for different reasons.  We are not expected to talk to all the people in our country but we have to share the good news to our loved ones, friends, classmates, and contacts whom we meet in different ways and in different places.  Pray that God will always give us the courage and wisdom and to be faithful in bringing the good news to them daily.  To share Jesus to others is a great privilege and accountability as true followers of Christ.  If we love God, we will love others and will not let them to die without hearing the gospel and have a personal relationship with him.

May the Lord be with you always.
