RSVP
|
RSVP is the abbreviation for the French (rιpondez
sil vous plaξt) which means, Please Respond or
Please Reply. When someone is having a party, or a
wedding they will send out letters of invitation to
the the ones who are invited to the event. They
include the Please Reply at the bottom of the
invitation so they know how many people to expect to
the event. The number of people attending the event
is needed to plan for the food and drinks needed.
There are many people who do not respond to the
invitation. Your regrets or acceptance of the
invitation is needed, for the planning of the event.
God has given an invitation to anyone and everyone. No one has been left out. He has invited us all, to live with Him through all of eternity. He is waiting for our response to His invitation. God has prepared a place for everyone who accepts His invitation, but we need RSVP to his invitation. God formed us. He breathed life into us. He gave us our gifts and talents. He gave us everything that we have. He also gave us a spirit that will never die. Now He is asking us to spend our lives with Him in eternity. God has set before us life and death. Then He says to choose life. We are all welcome into His house. But there is one exception, We need to come to Him, the way He said to come. When Adam sinned, he brought sin into this world. We are all born into sin. God cannot allow sin into Heaven. God gave us Jesus, His Son, to die in our place. Jesus took our sins upon Himself, when He died for us. Now when we give our lives over to Jesus, we are now acceptable to God, because when He sees us, He sees Jesus. We are now acceptable to God and are welcome into His House (Heaven). Many people think they will go to Heaven when they die. They think that if they are good enough that God will let them into Heaven. That is not so. God is not the One who decides if we will go to Heaven or not. We are the ones that decide to go to Heaven, by accepting Jesus as our savior. If we do not make a decision to accept Jesus as our savior, then we will not make it into Heaven. There are not many ways into Heaven, there is only one way, through Jesus. Please respond to Gods invitation, and accept Jesus as your savior. God is not willing that anyone will die a spiritual death (Hell). He wants to see you in Heaven.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. New King James Version John 14:2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 Ά "And where I go you know, and the way you know." New King James Version Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. |
