Faith In Jesus Christ Makes All The Difference In The World Series

*Then they sailed full speed ahead into an area known to have ice. The Ship California tried to warn them, but the Titanic cut-off their warning message, because it interfered with regular communications from Newfoundland. Then, after the Titanic hit the iceberg, many lifeboats pulled away only half full. But the biggest error was their arrogant attitude: "Not even God could sink this ship!" Of the 2,200 people on board, only 700 survived and 1,500 people died.

*Vance Havner was one of the great preachers of the 20th century, and he said, "I remember when the Titanic sank in 1912. It was the ship that was supposed to be unsinkable. But the only thing it ever did was sink.

*When it took off from England, all kinds of passengers were aboard: Millionaires, celebrities, people of moderate means, and poor folks down in the belly of the ship. But a few hours later when they put the list up in the cruise line office in New York, it had only two categories: Lost and saved. Tragedy had crossed out all other distinctions.

*Out on the sea of life, there are scores of classifications. But when the voyage is over, it won't matter whether you were a rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, butcher, baker, or candlestick maker. When your life's voyage is over, it won't matter whether you lived in the backwoods or on the boulevard.

*It won't matter whether you drove a Cadillac or pushed an apple cart to town. All such distinctions disappear and only two lists remain: Lost and saved." (6)

CONCLUSION:

*Nothing is more important than receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus loves you. He died on the cross for you. He rose again forever from the dead. He is the only Savior of the world! And that's why faith in Jesus makes all the difference in the world.

*Call on the Lord to save you today. Receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Then start trusting Jesus enough to obey Him, even when it doesn't make sense. And trust Jesus enough to help bring other people to Him. That will make all the difference in the world.
