GOT FIRE INSURANCE?



(Luke 16:22-28)"....the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. hen he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: or I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

(Revelation 20:15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE."

          Home owners, business owners and property owners are well acquainted with the importance of having fire insurance. They realize the importance of covering their property in the event of an unexpected fire mishap.

Here are some reasons why fire insurance is essential:

1. A fire insurance policy covers your building's structure, or fixing and fittings, against hazard.

2. It provides you with the financial resources to replace what you have lost.

3. Fire insurance provides the security for home, stock, furniture, business buildings, etc,.

4. It provides the cost of replacement of properties and assets due to the fire accident.

These are the things fire insurance companies make available to their policyholders. It's always good to have it even if you never need it than to need it and not have it. These things are about physical property being insured in case of loss by fire. What about protection from Hell and the lake of fire? At the end of this age, Satan and his followers (who chose not to accept Christ and refused to be covered by his "fire insurance" (Redemption through his blood) will be cast into the Lake of fire to burn eternally.

          Jesus was and is as our insurance agent offering us the best possible fire insurance policy (Coverage from Hell's fire) when he was here on earth. Some back then thought that they didn't need the coverage and there are those today who are choosing not to be covered by his fire insurance protection. It's only through Jesus that we can escape Hell's fire. (John 10:10 - The thief cometh not but to kill, steal and destroy. I come that you may have life and that more abundantly). When we commit to paying our monthly, quarterly or annually premiums for our insurance, we have a sense of security. In case an emergency or unpredictable event occurs, we are covered.

          Don't wait until you've lost everything and then choose to get it. It's too late! The rich man in the scripture above waited too late and wanted to warn his brothers. Just as it is today, people hear about Jesus is soon to come and to get their life right before it's too late. The message of Christ's redemptive power of salvation is heard at church, on the television or the radio. As it is with insurance companies advertising for potential customers to get covered, so is Jesus. They are offering coverage and protection in advance and so did Christ and is still offering it. Don't leave earth without this Fire Insurance and end up like the rich man in the scripture above. GOT FIRE INSURANCE?
