Saved for What? Revelation 7:14

There are two kinds of people in this world! Those set aside for God’s mercy and those set aside for God’s judgment! It is determined by the choices made by those individuals! We are either sealed by the blood of Christ for redemption or we are sealed in our own blood for judgment! In chapter seven of the Book of Revelation we see God withholds judgment upon the earth until his servants are sealed! We see 144 thousand Jews are sealed for redemption! Wow! Can you imagine the Apostle Paul multiplied 144 thousand times here on the earth? One hundred forty four thousand evangelists! We also see many Gentiles will be saved during this seven year tribulation period after the Rapture of the Church! God always leaves a seed in the earth whether it be Noah and his family or thousands of evangelists near the second coming of Christ! So what are they saved for? Yes saved for heaven and saved to reach the lost here on earth! Evangelism explosion as James Kennedy led while he was living here! We do not want to go to heaven alone! That would be selfish! This is why God sent his Holy Spirit into the earth to equip us to reap a harvest! God wants the whole earth saved however some reject him! Can you imagine the Jewish Anti-Christ having to cope with 144 thousand Jewish evangelists? How precious are lost soul’s worth to you? Are they worth dying for as God did for you? Back during the Alaskan Gold Rush a couple of men left their family and friends to move up north to strike it rich! They staked a claim in the remote part of Alaska near a stream and began panning for gold! Then they found a lot of gold in the stream! They were so focused on the gold they forgot to get provisions for the long cold winter ahead! Without warning weeks of extreme cold and blinding snow hit their camp! They had constructed a small cabin but no provisions! Two years later a prospector found their cabin and opened the door finding two skeletons sitting in chairs next to a table! On the table were about a dozen bags of gold! There was also a note left on the table apologizing to their families how they were so focused on getting rich they neglected to take care of themselves and their families! The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous! Are you laboring in vain? Vanity fair is a place called Hell! Heaven is a place where God alone can be trusted for our earthly provisions and heavenly rewards! If you are waiting until heaven to worship your King you will not be there! Begin to worship Christ today here on earth and it will continue along with you forever! Pastor Oscar Cope, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia.
