A LETTER FROM GOD

(As imagined by one of His children)

Dear Citizens of Earth:

It is of utmost importance that I write these words unto you, for very, very
soon my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, will come again and He will receive unto
Himself the redeemed of all the ages. So be ready, be working, and be
watching, for He may come at any moment!

Truly my heart is grieved to see how that sin abounds on every side, and how
so few children of mine are walking in the center of my will! Have not I told
you that the fields are white unto the harvest, and the labourers are few?
Have not I told you, through my prophet, Daniel, that those who turn many to
righteousness shall shine as the stars forever? Have not I told you that even
a cup of water, given' in my name, shall not lose its reward? So why do you
delay doing the most important work that man can do - witnessing for Me, and
the winning of souls?

My heart breaks to see the multitude of so-called churches that have not only
lost their first love, who were founded by great men of God, but they have
departed from the faith! The fundamental truths of my Bible are being denied,
and the congregations are not being warned regarding the wages of sin and of
judgment to come, and no invitation is given so that lost souls will have the
opportunity to accept my beloved Son as their own personal Savior. To add to
their sin these so-called churches have no Sunday night services, no
visitation programs, or no mid-week prayer meetings, so the idea of scheduling
any revival meetings are not even considered, for these churches are already
dead!

To those who have denied the faith let me warn you of the wrath to come,
unless you repent, and place your faith in Jesus alone. However, if you
continue in your sin, and preach not the glorious gospel, once delivered to
the saints, the blood of your `flock' I will require at your hand.

I do want to commend and to encourage all the children of mine who are obeying
my commandments, for in obeying them they are proving that they love me. My
heart has been thrilled countless times as I hear the choirs of angels sing in
heaven, for by their zeal and their harmony I know that another sinner has
repented and called on the name of my beloved Son for salvation. I also know
and see and love each child of mine who has led that particular soul to the
Redeemer, and you can be sure that your treasures in heaven will be great. So
keep on keeping on, till I come again.

To those of you who are reading this letter, who have not yet repented of your
sins, let me plead with you to do so, while there's still time! Truly the only
way to heaven is by placing your faith in my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for He
paid your sin debt on calvary. Unless you do so the day will come when you
will pray that the mountains will fall on you, but death will flee from you,
and after you face my Son at the judgment seat you will be sentenced for an
eternity in hell's fire, where there is never any relief or hope of escape. My
`Official Pardon' for your sins has been signed in the precious blood of my
dear Son, and all you have to do is to reach out and take it. O, I beg of you,
please don't reject the priceless gift of eternal life through Jesus!

Before I close this letter to the citizens of the earth, let me remind you of
a few very important truths. First, you have heard me say that the eye hath
not seen, nor entered into the heart of man, the wonders that I have prepared
for those that love me. Believe me, when you have been in heaven just one hour
you will realize that all the pain and sorrow and persecution was nothing in
comparison to the joys you will realize! The blessedness of meeting with your
loved ones and friends who have gone on before, and the thrill of meeting all
the great saints of all the ages will be almost unimaginable! However, your
thrill of thrills and your joy of joys will be when you meet Jesus face to
face! Your love for my dear Son will even be greater when you see for yourself
the thorn-marks in his brow, those nail-prints in his hands, and the spear-
mark in his side! Then when my Son greets you, and gives you a new name and
the rewards that you have won, how marvelous and wonderful and thrilling it
will be for you if you have found favor with him and you merit his "Well
done!" It is my prayer and my fondest wish that this will he your priceless
reward!

So till I meet you in heaven, through Jesus Christ, my beloved Son, I pray
that you will he working, watching, and praying.

Worlds of love from,

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
