Let's make today Labor Day.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

(Hebrews 4:11, KJV 1900, https://ref.ly/logosres/LLS:KJV1900?ref=BibleKJV.Heb4.11)

This is a sweet, encouraging word for pastors. "Celebrity pastors" miss out on real significance in people's lives.

I needed rescue!

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD.

4 How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Psalm 40:1–4 (NASB95)

All dead people go to hell.

A person must be spiritually alive to go to heaven, have eternal live, be saved, etc. How does one become spiritually alive and how do you know?

John 3:3 (NASB95)
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3:8 (NASB95)
8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 4:6 (NASB95)
6 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Revelation 20:10 (NASB95)
10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

God, the Father, saw the anguish of God the Son's soul, as He suffered for the sins of many and determined it was enough. Now many, will enjoy the salvation of God and not the wrath of God.

That's good news to many.

Isaiah 53:11–12 (NASB95)
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the b***y with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

[the gospel -- "good news"] ... which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

Philippians 1:27b-28 (NASB95)
