11/19/17 LIFE RING, NOT AN ANCHOR

11/19/17 LIFE RING, NOT AN ANCHOR

JESUS IS THE LIFE RING THAT LIFTS US UP, NOT AN ANCHOR THAT PULLS US DOWN.
When I present Jesus, salvation or the Bible to folks, most of them act like I a trying to destroy their lives, when in fact I am offering them life. It is like throwing a life ring to a drowning person, but he thinks I am throwing an anchor.

People resist and reject Christ because of DESIRE for sin, and/or the DECEPTION of Satan. The person who rejects the message of life is either holding onto his tawdry pleasures and paltry treasures, or he is blinded by Satan to the truth of the gospel. But in order to take hold of Jesus, we must trust Him and we must turn loose of the things that are dragging us down.

Jesus lifts people up, sin drags people down.
Jesus saves, sin destroys.
Jesus is the great Giver, sin is the great taker..
Jesus is life, sin is death.
