Escape For Your Life

Text: Genesis 19:17 KJV

Further Reading: Genesis 19:15-22

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Genesis 19:17

MESSAGE

The judgment of God has been pronounced already on the world. No matter how attractive the world and its amusement may be, it is still subject to destruction. Scriptures say that the world itself one day will be set on fire and everything will be no more (2 Peter 3:10-13).

I must again sound the trumpet this morning to every sinner to escape the judgment of God that is bound to prevail upon all who refuse His mercy.

In our text of the day, the Angels had to carry Lot and his family out of the city of destruction. Sinners need the same assistance to be free from sin and come into the eternal life which God has ordained for those who accept His offer of salvation.

The Bible is clear when it states that the wages of sin is death. Yet God has made a way of escape in Christ Jesus that whosoever shall look upon Him would live eternally (Romans 6:23).

Don’t wait until destruction comes before you call on God. Many times it is too late for sinners. The people in the days of Noah wanted to enter the Ark after the flood began but it was too late. The same people who heard Noah preached for 120 years and rejected his message now wanted to enter the Ark of salvation.

Believe in the Lord Jesus my friend and escape for your life. Do not allow the transient possessions of this world to fool you. They will pass away and perish but only those who accept Christ and does His will shall abide forever (1 John 2:17).

The time is short, every event point to the end of time. Consider your eternal destination today and decide to escape the woe and judgment awaiting those who rejected God’s mercy. The door to salvation is still open this morning, don’t say No to the mercy of God.

Believers also should heed this warning and get their focus back to Calvary. Do not give room for distraction or entanglement with the world. May the Lord count us worthy so that we will be faithful till the end. Amen.

REFLECTION

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:7

I appeal to Sinners to forsake their wicked ways and turn to God and the saints to hold on till the end.

PRAYER

Father, please keep me from the corruption that is in the world and hold my hands till the end.
