Subject: Do you want to be saved?


Let me ask you "Do you want to be saved"?
I remember when I was lost, and thinking about heaven, and being saved.
I remember what I used to think.
Do you want to spend all of eternity in heaven worshipping God?
Do you want to spend all eternity in Hell cursing God?

I remember some of my thoughts before the Lord saved me.

Do you want to be saved?

We don't know much about what we will do in heaven.
But here is a couple of verses:

Rev. 7:15   Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
 and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.


Rev. 22:4   And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5   And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
 and they shall reign for ever and ever.


You are not saved because you don't want to be saved.

You don't want to be saved because every lost sinner is at enmity with God.
That means "you hate God".

Romans 8:7   Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary : 

  Enmity
     deep-rooted hatred.

The natural heart hates God.

Do you believe Gods word??

Do you want to be saved?
Stop making excuses about why you can't come, or why you can't do this or that.

You hate God, and you will not come to him.
