How you can move from death to life

August 3, 2012

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved...

Ephesians 2:4-5

I heard about a man from China who was keeping up a family tradition of putting a 9-course meal on one of his family member’s graves. One day, an American was also there in that same cemetery putting flowers on his family member’s grave. So the American watched that man from China place a full 9-course meal on that grave. He was amused.

So he came over and said to the Chinese man, “Let me ask you a question. When is the man in that grave going to eat that meal?” Pointing to the newly laid-out flowers on the other grave, he said, “As soon as the man in that grave smells those roses!”

Apart from Jesus Christ, every man and every woman is dead. They can’t sense, can’t feel, and can’t know of the things that are spiritual. There is no hunger for God’s Word or for prayer, for spiritual ministry or for service. Why? Because people are dead without Jesus Christ.

But on the other hand, in Jesus Christ we are made alive. And when we’re made alive, we can hunger for God’s Word. We can yearn for His fellowship. And we can desire to serve Him with our lives.

In Christ, we’re alive. So if you haven’t, come to Christ today and experience real life that’s only found in a relationship with Him!

MOVE FROM DEATH TO LIFE BY TRUSTING IN JESUS CHRIST TODAY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS!

Get straight, biblical answers to questions our culture is asking!


Dear Friend,

A lot of people doubt the Bible has anything good to say – much less relevant answers to questions about things like same-sex marriage and abortion. But the truth is, the Bible contains the very words of God about these subjects and so much more.

That’s why I want to send you a copy of my popular series on CD called ‘Straight Up.’

Packed with the truth of Scripture, ‘Straight Up’ will give you the tools you need to give a loving and compassionate response to our culture about issues such as:

  • Same-sex marriage
  • Abortion
  • Tolerance
  • God’s will
  • And much more!

‘Straight Up’ is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim truth to our truth-hungry world. So please request it when you give today. Thank you!
