We Are More Alike Than Unalike!

The Apostle Paul says in Romans 10: 11 & 12 that, "Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) will NOT be disappointed. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon Him."

I captalized and underlined the word NOT in that passage because it is emphatic (uttered, or to be uttered, with emphasis; strongly expressive) grammer. Here's what it means. Now listen close. You don't want to miss this. It means "NEVER, NO NEVER, NOT EVER!"

The Gospel Ministry has put me at the side of several "death beds" over the last 30 years or so, and I can personally testify that, without exception, there has not been one person, on his or her way out of this life, claiming to be sorry that they trusted the Lord for their life. Trusting Christ for our lives is not a disappointment but the greatest gift of life ever given.

And Paul goes one step further to explain to us that there is no distinction between us. We are all God's children. For Jesus is the same Lord for you and for me, for the Jew and the Gentile, for the saved and the lost. What is the only distinction is the "abounding riches for those who have called upon His name.

My pastor friend Norm, always says "We are more alike than unalike." But the greatest thing about where we can be alike is receiving His Grace and Promise of eternal life.
