Matthew 24:14

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14

The disciples had asked the Lord Jesus how they could know when His return and the end of the age were near. In response, Jesus gave them several signs to watch for. He warned that the world would experience earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and wars. Yet even in the midst of all these troubles, God remains in control. He will not allow anyone to pass from this life without first having the chance to hear His message of salvation. Among the signs, He gave this promise and prophecy that the gospel would be preached to the entire world.

When Jesus hung on the cross and declared, “It is finished,” heaven and earth bore witness that He had fulfilled the purpose of His first coming: to be the propitiation for the sins of the entire world. This salvation was not given only to Israel but offered to all humanity. Scripture makes it clear that apart from Christ, we are already condemned and guilty, for the wages of sin is death.

The final judgment will not be based on our works, for our works cannot make us righteous, they only prove our guilt. Instead, judgment will rest on one crucial question: Do you believe in Jesus, or do you reject Him? If you believe in Jesus, you know that He has already paid for your sins, and His righteousness is placed upon you. That is how you escape the wrath of God. But if you reject the only salvation He offers, then you will spend eternity separated from Him in the lake of fire.

This is what determines our eternal destiny. If you do not have Christ yet, it is not too late. Today, I share with you the good news of Jesus Christ: believe in the Lord Jesus, and join us in His Kingdom.
