Philippians 3:14 | Doru Neamtu
Here is the amazing testimony of a Norwegian lady, now over 70, how she had received Christ at the age of 14.
She had heard the sermon in which the pastor described the Last Judgment. God would sit on His white throne. Behind Him would be a curtain. Before Him in a line would be all those to be judged. God would make a sign with His hand and from behind the curtain would appear beings of unspeakable beauty, radiating with splendor, and one of these beings would stand before every accused. The men and women who had never seen such splendor before would ask God, “Who are these wonderful beings?”God would answer, “These are each of you as you would have been if you had obeyed My voice. Then men will realize what they have lost; and ashamed, they will flee to hell, to escape the sight of the opportunity they rejected.
There is the real “I” and the ideal “I”, the person I am and the person God conceived and planned and intended me to be. I can live my everyday life on the level of what is immediate, or I can run toward the goal, the ideal “I” the being which I have predestinated to become. Let us be careful not to be ashamed on that day.
