Seek the Lord While He May Be Found

“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” -Isa 55:6 (KJV)

The only source of rock solid truth today is found in God’s word – the Bible. Our only trust is in the Lord; salvation is found nowhere else than through the saving power of Christ’s blood on the Cross of Calvary. Yet …

There are many who have created supplementary books but they were not given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And there are some who trust in their “horses and chariots” – their strength or in other worldly things – Psa 20:7. Certainly there are those who have chosen to trust in men or flesh and as such are severely chastised by the Lord in Isa 2:22 and Jer 17:5.  And don’t forget those that trust in their church or their religion. Perhaps in their pastors, priests, bishops or a ‘fallible’ man or woman for their source of hope and salvation.

Friends, Almighty God is our only hope, our only strength, trust and faith. Through His Son – Jesus Christ – we can approach the throne of grace and it is only through Him that we can obtain salvation. There is absolutely no other way! But … many will say in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not do this and that in your name … And I will say depart from me for I don’t know you, you workers of iniquity (Matt 7:21-23). The reality of all this is there is a heaven and hell. Unfortunately, many people are up on the wide road – the fast moving highway, you know easy street, the smooth way, the happy way, easy on and no worries, traffic is great – Matt 7:13-14.

However, for those that know the Lord as their Savior, and trust only in Him, they’re on the narrow road that must be strived for (to spiritually sweat) to stay on – Luke 13:24. Yes, the way is hard, and difficult – it takes work in faith and trust in Christ to chart the way – James 2:14-26; Phil 2:12. Albeit, there are only a ‘few’ on this road.

Seek the Lord – Call Upon His Name

What does this mean? It’s a daily activity; not a once a week affair at a church service. Seeking the Lord daily in sincerity is what’s needed; you will find the Lord when you search for Him with all of your heart – Jer 29:13. Salvation consists of calling upon the name of the Lord. How do we do this? Profess Him as God’s only Son sent here to be the sacrifice for our sins. Believe on Him. Confess your sins and then put action to those words through sincere [daily] repentance. And finally live out your life in fear of the Lord, daily assessing your position in Him with holiness in how you live. This then is seeking the Lord.

“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you– unless indeed you fail the test?” -2 Cor 13:6 (NASB)

Seek the Lord While He May Be Found

Now the flip side of this deal is to … do nothing! Live your life as you see fit, relying men to be your guide, your source of truth, your trust. Perhaps you trust in your church to be your salvation or a man or group of men. These are ways that will not lead you to Christ. These will lead you down that wide road that leads to destruction. Yep, you heard right! Don’t believe me read God’s word yourself. If you claim to be intellectual then be wise and search out the truth in God’s word. Read your Bible!

Then There’s Hell – Many Wide Open Doors with No Exits

The Lord says to fear Him and not man. Why? For Luke 12:5 tells us, “But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!” – (ESV). Did you catch that? Fear. Hell. Cast into Hell. Yes, absolutely! This is the truth from God’s lips, not man’s.

Fearing the Lord involves reverent respect and also reverent trust and faith in Jesus Christ as God’s only Son and our only way to salvation. This also involves fear and trembling before a Holy and Righteous God. When we stand before Him it will not be like going to church. Any other belief is not the Gospel of truth and will lead to you being accursed – 2 Cor 11:4; Gal 1:8-9. 

The Burning Eternal Inferno

Many false religions ordain the doors of hell. You see there are many paths and doors into the eternal burning inferno for the road is wide and easy. Don’t have to do much to be ushered right into its midst, right on through the wide easy swinging doors. And folks, many, many lost souls have found their way into the bowels of hell through these doors. Those that have believed incorrectly but well meaning. Those with good intentions but no faith. Those who have lived a somewhat ‘good’ life but never put their faith and trust ONLY in Christ. Those that tried to reach salvation only through their good works.

Many, many are in hell and many, many are going for hell is always expanding its doors and rooms to accommodate its new inhabitants – Isa 5:14. Hell is real and there are no exits, no returns, no purgatory, no redemption found there, no God, eternal separation from God, constant flame, a worm eating upon you but you never being consumed (Mark 9:48).

No Memory Loss in Hell

And the most severe of torments – knowing that you could have chosen the narrow path – the way that would have led you to Christ and the memory of all the times you rejected Christ. Read Luke 16:19-31. I have excerpted vss 27-28 below. The scripture is clear! The truth of hell is explicit. This is what you can expect if you don’t turn to God and His Son for salvation. No scare intended but only the truth. You ever hear this in your church? Why not? For me personally, I would rather be scared into heaven with the no-kidding reality described by Jesus Himself than soothed into hell by the consistent soft-spoken, easy to swallow sermons from pulpit cowards called pastors or priests.  How about you? I’ve heard the easy, soft and watered-down Gospel for decades in church but never the reality of eternity’s doors. Get right with God and make sure you are seeking the truth found only in God’s word.

“Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.” -Luke 16:27-28 (KJV)
