Happy Veterans Day…

Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace — dead or alive — although it’s largely intended to thank living veterans for their service and sacrifices. It was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I. But then World War II and the Korean War happened, so on June 1, 1954, at the urging of veteran’s service organizations, Congress amended the commemoration yet again by changing the word “Armistice” to “Veterans” so the day would honor All American Veterans of all wars.

Veterans Day is NOT the Same as Memorial Day.

A lot of Americans confuse Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a time to remember those who gave their lives for our country, particularly in battle or from wounds they suffered in battle. Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace… dead or alive.

Please thank a Veteran today for their service and for our freedom. Our Veterans were ready to give up their life for you so you could live free.

There’s another man that wasn’t a Veteran but gave up his life so you could be free and live forever. That man’s name is Jesus Christ! The Bible tells us ALL, not some… but ALL… have sinned. Romans 3:23 tells us, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Also, in Romans 6:23 we find the cost of sin, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  The cost of sin is eternal death! But notice that God also gives us a way out.  In 1 Peter 3:18 says, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,” Since Jesus died for our sins and paid the price on the cross (His death), the wage or cost of our sins has been paid in full!  There’s no need for you to pay it again. God has given His Son (Jesus) as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. This gift of eternal life with God is ours for the asking.

My Friend… Have you asked for your free gift from God? How is your relationship with God? Is it good? Or maybe you have lost fellowship with Him. Time is short! We all are standing at the door to eternity. There is no better time than the present to accept God’s gift of eternal life or maybe to renew your faith.

Please… if you don’t know Christ or have fallen away, please pray… Tell God you believe His Son Jesus paid for your sins and rose again. Tell God you are sorry and want to start Living for Him. He will forgive your sins and mistakes and give you Everlasting Life with Him… and place His Spirit deep within your heart. In 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” and in Romans 10:9 tells us. ”that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
