No Greater Cost…

When God created the universe—all the solar system, the galaxies, the stars, the sun, our world, and the moon—it cost Him nothing. God created each with joy. He spoke, and it was done. All of that cost God nothing.

When God created man, it cost Him nothing.
Yet it cost Him everything to save one lost soul!
Think about it! That is why the cry of God's heart will always be souls, souls, SOULS! Jesus Christ gave His life for souls to be saved.
The most precious thing in the sight of God is a life. One soul is more precious to Him than all of creation and all the billions of angels of heaven.
One life!
That is why Jesus died. That is why He came to earth—to give His life for you, me, and every man and woman, young person, boy and girl, on Planet Earth.
No Angel Can Preach the GospelAnd the awesome truth is, He has given people like you and me the responsibility to tell lost souls about Jesus Christ and the salvation He has provided for them.
No angel in heaven has ever been commanded to preach the Gospel. No angel in heaven has ever heard the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
No angel in heaven can preach the Gospel, because the blood of Jesus was not shed for the angels. The angels cannot preach the Gospel, for how can they preach what they have not experienced themselves? How can they preach the Gospel when they have not known the joy of redemption?
No angel can look up to God and say, "Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul." No angel can say to God, "Thank You for changing my life," or "Thank You for coming into my heart."
Yet today you and I can look up and say, "Thank You for saving my soul; thank You for touching my life; thank You for making me whole!"
God's Son shed His blood and gave His life for humanity, not for the angels. They cannot give away what they have not experienced.
God Cannot Preach What We CanNot only can the angels not preach the Gospel, they also can't be witnesses of the power of the cross. Even God Himself cannot be a witness of the power of His own cross.
Think about it! Not even Jesus can testify what the cross has done for Him. Sin never touched Him, so He cannot stand and say as we can, "Once I was lost, but now I am found. Once I was a sinner, but now I have been cleansed by the blood."
He shed His blood, yet that blood was not shed for Himself! It was shed for you, for me, and for every soul on Planet Earth.
He gave you and me the great privilege to tell others about salvation through Him.
Not the angels. Not God Himself. No one can do what you and I can do. What an awesome, amazing truth! Only you and I can stand before the world and say, "Once I was lost, but now I am found."
And only sinners saved by grace have been given the privilege to tell the world Jesus saves, Jesus saves, JESUS SAVES!
Now Is the Time
But our time is running out. The nations of the world are ready to receive the Gospel as never before. The doors are wide open, now more than ever. We have to tell the world now!Girl_praising
When Cornelius was in prayer (Acts 10), the angel came and said to call for Peter (verse 5). The angel did not, could not tell the message of salvation through the blood. Peter then traveled from Joppa to Caesarea for one reason—to tell Cornelius the Gospel.
There are millions out there in the world, like Cornelius, who are calling out for God, seeking answers, and pleading for deliverance. They are looking for hope, but no hope is in sight. They are begging for answers, but no answers are found. They are searching for light, yet they are imprisoned in darkness.
It is our duty, job, and privilege to travel to that place where that dear soul is crying out. It is our responsibility to tell them that Jesus Christ is the Answer. It is our calling to preach the Gospel to them before it is eternally too late.
So many have never heard the Gospel, nor will they unless someone tells them. Not all are able to watch our program on television. Millions are too poor to buy a television set. We must go and tell them, and I am going! Through your gifts, you are going with me!

Salvation Prayer

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.

You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.

Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins and always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself and giving me eternal life.
Amen.
