Bob's Objection With Christianity.

 Bob “My main objection to Christianity is that anyone can live a horrible, even murderous life and just before they die they can proclaim Jesus and go to heaven.” 

 Louie Vetter. Yes that’s a valid concern Bob, but consider this. For someone living that kind of life, chances are Christianity is not very real to them. To pay lip service to Jesus for insurance purposes with their last gasp is not going to make Jesus any more real than before. There is the story of the sinner on the cross, but that is a single Biblical example of true remorse at point of death. Someone living a sinful life with a sinner-on-the-cross action plan is probably quite blasphemous to God and His grace. Whatever keeps a sinner from following Jesus while he’s sinning, will most likely keep him from grace on his deathbed.  

  Consider this saying from Jesus, “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” 

John 4:35

 The highest genetic potential of a seed is on the day it is planted, every day after that potential yield is lost to various environmental stressors, disease and insects.

 Are we any different? These four months to harvest are like the days of our life. We have a set number of days till our last. A day lived in the lust of our eyes or flesh is a day lost, never to be regained. It is a day where we denied the rain and blessings of the Holy Spirit that our loving Father wanted to pour out over our dry and parched eternal soul. 

 When a field is white to harvest the yield is set. Rain and perfect growing conditions at this point are too late. When the autumn of our life is upon us, will we have the grace, power and will to increase the one pound our Lord gave us? Or will our yield be set with the lifestyle and decisions we deliberately chose? 

 “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them.” ~Ecclesiastes 12
