Amos 4: 13.
Let?s look at God?s Fire Insurance Policy, his Terms and Premiums.
John 14: 1-6.
Q: What does Jesus mean by ?many rooms? ? A place for ?many people
with different policies? or a place for ?many different people covered
by the same policy? ?
John 14: 23-27.
Q: Like all insurance policies, God is offering us the benefit of
?Peace of Mind? here on earth, but what is the premium we must pay
?
A: Obedience to his teaching
John 15: 1-10.
Q: What is Jesus teaching here ? What does he mean by ?bear much
fruit? ?
John 17: 20-23.
This is part of the longest prayer in the Bible, prayed with his
disciples after the Last Supper.
Q: What is his main theme ? Does it sound like he is offering a
number of different policies.. one tailor-made for every need..
whatever you feel comfortable with ?
Matthew 7: 21-23.
Q: What?s Jesus warning us about here ?
A: You have to ?Walk the Talk?, do what he commands. Belief alone
is simply not enough.
So you can?t just pay your annual premiums. You also have to regularly
fire-proof the thatch !
Galatians 1: 1-10.
Q: What is Paul warning us about here ?
A: Don?t listen to any broker telling you not to worry about the
fine print in God?s fire insurance policy?. Or adding a few clauses
of his own. Check it out for yourself.
Revelation 22: 18-19.
This is John?s Final Warning in the Bible?Don?t add anything and
don?t leave anything out. Your insurance against eternal fire depends
on it.
Q: So what have we learned from this discussion ?
A: If we want peace of mind in this life, and confidence that we
will make it to Heaven after we die, we had better get to know what
the Bible really says about our salvation. Relying on what you?ve
heard others saying, however well qualified they may sound, could
be a fatal mistake, a mistake with some very unpleasant long-term
consequences.
