“GOD’S E-MAIL”
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following
article came to me
recently and I
contended that I
should pass it on.
It has been slightly
edited and a
conclusion added.
Two men were talking
and one told the
other that God once
looked down upon the
earth and decided he
wanted to know the
kind of behavior
which was going on.
He decided to send
an angel down to
Earth to check it
out. So he called
one of His angels
and sent the angel
to Earth for a time.
When he returned, he
told God, "Yes, it
is bad on Earth; 95%
are misbehaving and
5% are not."
God thought for a
moment and said,
"Maybe I had better
send down a second
angel to get another
opinion." So God
called another angel
and sent him to
Earth for a time
too. When the angel
returned he went to
God and said, "Yes,
it's true-the Earth
is in decline; 95%
are misbehaving and
5% are being good."
God was not pleased.
So He (God) decided
to E-mail the 5%
that were good,
because He wanted to
encourage them. Give
them a little
something to help
them keep faithful.
Do you know what
that E-mail said?
The listening man
said, “No, what did
it say? “ The story
teller replied, “I
don’t know, I didn't
get one either.”
Really, God does not
need any angels to
report as to the
behavior of we
humans. He sees all
and knows all. No
wall is thick enough
to hide one from
Him. It is by grace
that you have been
saved, through faith
- and this is not
from yourselves, it
is a gift of God,
not by works, so
that no one can
boast.” (Ephesians
2:8,9). This is true
- one can not work
his/her way to
heaven, but there
are things “to do”.
Read on:
Plainly, don’t
get short changed.
Let’s be ready to
meet our Maker. The
Bible teaches that
to avoid hell and
gain heaven - one
must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (Acts
16:31) 2) Repent Of
Sins (Acts 17:30) 3)
Confess Christ
Audibly (Acts 8:37)
4) Be Baptized In
Water (Acts 2:38) 5)
Live A Christian
Life (Acts 14:22) 6)
Be Active In the
Church (2:47)
