The Sheep of His Pasture

The Bible declares:

"Know ye that the LORD he is God:  it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;  we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture." (Psalm 100:3)
 

God made us what we are.  We were created by God.  We did not evolve, as theorized by the "Story of Evolution".  We did not make ourselves.  No, God made us.  God made us to serve Him.  As His sheep, we are to serve Him as the sheep of His pasture.
 

Most people, however, do not serve God.  They are not the sheep of His pasture.  Most people serve sin.  Such people sin, do as they please, and rarely if ever think about God.  No, such people are in another pasture, the pasture of "wild oats", the pasture of the Devil.
 

Why would people serve sin and not God?  If God made us, is it not then reasonable for us to serve God and obey His commandments, the commandments He wrote down for us in His Bible?
 

Those who serve sin do so because they are not looking at Eternity.  They are looking instead at the "here and now".  Eternity in Hell seems so far away, such a long time in the far, far distant future.  They would rather enjoy the "pleasures in sin for a season." (Hebrews 11:25)
 

Does this describe you?  Do you love sin?  Do you neglect your eternal soul to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season?
 

Eternity is not a long way away.  It will come about soon enough.  It might even come tonight, while you are sleeping, or even today.  You have no assurance of even one more heart beat.  When God says it is time - that's it.  You will be dead.
 

Why not come to Jesus so that He will forgive your sins?  Jesus died on a cross to pay for your sins.  Jesus is waiting right now in Heaven to forgive your sins with His blood if you will just come to Him.
 

Jesus loves you. He offers you forgiveness for sins, a new life, and Eternity in Heaven when you die.  Trust Jesus today.  Then get into a good Bible-believing Fundamentalist Baptist church this Sunday.  Put Jesus and The Bible first, and may God bless you as you do it!
