Amos 4:12 “prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.13 For behold, he who formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth,—Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.”

Isaiah 1:18-20 “18 Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;

20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.”

Romans 10:13 “For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.”

If you ask people whether they want to go to heaven, the answer will often be yes. Many individuals have charted their own paths toward this goal, believing they are on the right road. However, the Bible tells us that there is only one way to heaven. What is this way? Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Proverbs 14:12 “12 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death.”

Proverbs 16:25 “25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death.”

John 14-6 “4 And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.”

The Gospel of Jesus Christ and God’s plan of salvation are foreshadowed in the book of Genesis. After sin entered the world, God promised a Redeemer, saying the “seed of the woman” would crush the serpent’s head. This points to Jesus’ victory over sin and Satan, revealing God’s plan to save sinners from the coming judgment.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Genesis 2:15-17 “15 And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.16 And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.”

Genesis 3:1-7 “3 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;5 but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.

6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”

Genesis 3:22-24 “22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever …!23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.”

Genesis 3:15 “15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.”

Genesis 22:1-3 “22 And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.”

Genesis 22:10-14 “10 And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.”

Luke 4:16-19 “16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.17 And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

18 [The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,19 to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.”

37 And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and *he*, entering into the ship, returned.38 But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,39 Return to thine house and relate how great things God has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him.”

Luke 13:10-13 “10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.11 And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.12 And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.13 And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.”

8 for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;9 for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,10 and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.”

Colossians 1:12-14 “12 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,13 who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;”

Every one of us needs an anchor for our souls. Where can that anchor be found? The Bible tells us that this anchor is found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 9:24-25 “24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.”

In this address, you will hear of three men, Isaiah, Paul, and John, who each had an encounter with the Lord and witnessed His glory.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Isaiah 6:1-8 “6 In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.2 Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew.3 And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.6 And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;7 and he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me.”

Acts 26:9-16 “9 *I* indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean.10 Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.

11 And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out [of our own land].12 And when, [engaged] in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests,

13 at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with me.14 And, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against goads.15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, *I* am Jesus whom *thou* persecutest:16 but rise up and stand on thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in,

17 taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom *I* send thee,18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.”

Revelation: 1:9-18 “9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;

16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.”

The Bible tells us, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Are you prepared for eternity? The Gospel announces to mankind that there is a Savior for sinners—Jesus Christ, the Lord. He came into this world to seek and save the lost. At Calvary’s Cross, Jesus suffered and died for you, so that through His precious blood, you may be saved for eternity.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Romans 3:23-25 “23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood,”

Romans 8:1 “8 [There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.”

Luke 13:1-9 “13 Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.2 And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?3 No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that *they* were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?5 No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.

6 And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find [any].7 And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?8 But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,9 and if it shall bear fruit—but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.”

God has set a day when He will judge the world. Are you ready? The Bible tells us that in our sins, we have fallen short of the glory of God. There is nothing we can do to earn favour with Him; all our good deeds are like filthy rags in the sight of a holy God. But the good news of the Gospel is that God has sent His Son, Jesus, as a deliverer from the coming wrath. Is He your deliverer?

As Christians, it’s easy to become complacent amidst the many distractions and challenges of life. Yet, God’s Word calls us to awaken from spiritual slumber and walk in a manner worthy of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this address, you will hear from the Scriptures about God’s call for Christians to be awake and alert when it comes to the things of God.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Romans 13:11-14 “11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.12 The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.”

Zechariah 13:13 “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts:”

Luke 9:28-36 “28 And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.29 And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.

30 And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,31 who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.32 But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

33 And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

34 But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

35 and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him.

36 And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and *they* kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.”

John 11:11 “11 These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.”
