The Great Commission

Christians we belive, are enlightened, read the bible and grow in faith. According to the bible , non believers are people of the world that cannot know , see or experience the grace of GOD.

I realized then that I am reading and studying the bible from a christians point of view, however, there are many, many verses warning non believers of their fate.

Have you ever stopped to think about; how would such non believers know this fate?

There is only one way to God i.e. through Jesus Christ.

1Ti 2:5 There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and humans-a human, Christ Jesus.

There is no other way, or other Gods.

Exo 20:3 "Never have any other god.

You only have two choices, you are either for God, or you are against him.

Mat 12:30 "Whoever isn't with me is against me. Whoever doesn't gather with me scatters.

If you are against him, then you are lost to die in your sins

Joh 8:24 For this reason I told you that you'll die because of your sins. If you don't believe that I am the one, you'll die because of your sins."

As a Christians you must not except any other Gospel.

Gal 1:9 I'm now telling you again what we've told you in the past: If anyone tells you good news that is different from the Good News you received, that person should be condemned to hell.

Jesus Christ is the truth. Anyone going against that is against God. All must focus only on God and what he asks of us.

Jas 1:13-15 GW
(13) When someone is tempted, he shouldn't say that God is tempting him. God can't be tempted by evil, and God doesn't tempt anyone. (14) Everyone is tempted by his own desires as they lure him away and trap him. (15) Then desire becomes pregnant and gives birth to sin. When sin grows up, it gives birth to death.

Man has two main choices:
1) accept the Love of God and, upon death, go to paradise for eternity,
2) Refuse God and, upon death, just die, be utterly damned.

God’s original plan when he created man was to have an intimate relationship. God allowed man to have the choice to love him.

That is each individual’s personal choice.

God has sent his son Jesus to be the last sacrifice for the cleansing of our sins in order for us to enter heaven.

Hell is what it is; darkness, torment and eternal separation from God. Once your there, you are there for eternity.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act.

This is my "other" view on the The Great Commission, our personal instruction from Jesus to each of us, share the gift of salvation!

Once again

Who have we caused to feel happy? to become happy? to be happy?
