Professor Grimwell was locked in his garage, struggling to find a cure for the Zombies. His beloved wife was infected. During the many days of research, he heard her, moaning and shuffling around, outside. Finally, after many failed attempts– “Eureka! The cure!”
!!! Spoiler Alert. This is a series, which deals with Spiritual Zombies. To see earlier installments, go to the category tab on the right side of the blog page, select Zombies!!!
There is no greater issue that you will ever deal with than this. Please give serious thought to where you stand with God. It is the most important decision of your life.
The cure for Spiritual Zombie-ism is Jesus, the ONLY solution for spiritual death. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
Far from sounding narrow-minded, this fact speaks a wonderful truth– God Loves you. “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
He showed His love by dying in our place. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God looked to a world that was dead; a people that had walked away from Him and couldn’t find their way back. He reached down in love, and said, “Here I am! Follow me!”
Good News! The Cure is Offered to EVERYONE. In God’s word, Paul was asked the question. “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). The answer– “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved . . . .”
-Believe that He died for you.
-Confess your sins and Ask forgiveness.
-Ask Jesus Christ to be a part of your life.
He says He will be there for anyone who seeks Him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
One of the toughest things to do in our nation today is to get someone to admit they are not a Christian, hence they are spiritually dead, or what we are calling Spiritual Zombies.
It’s hard to do because, we’ve been Christianized– We kind of believe there is a god, but he really doesn’t effect our lives. We go to church. We believe in God and Jesus. Yet the Bible says Satan does too, and trembles.
Let’s look beyond what the culture has taught us to what God says in His word.
1. There’s a Problem– Our sin. It separated us from God.
2. There’s a Solution– Jesus Christ. He paid the price for our sin and reestablished a relationship.
3. There’s an Offer– Receive Him.
What do You Think? The decision is yours. God is a gentleman. He will not force Himself on anyone. God offers you life, but the decision is yours. Look at what His word says. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)
Trying to keep my blogs to around five hundred words, there’s only so much I can say. I urge you, if you’d like to know more about the salvation Jesus offers, find a Bible-believing church and speak to someone there.
I may take a somewhat off-beat look at zombies, but your future is nothing to joke about. God has made you an offer. Have you accepted? “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6)
Without Jesus, you are dead inside. Jesus offers you a gift. . . life. Go to Him in prayer. Accept that Gift!
