Have you ever burned yourself? I mean a real burn that hurts even to tap it gently? If you have you can remember how bad it felt and how annoyingly painful it was. If you haven't had that kind of burn then think of a cut or scrape that hurt so much you had fight back the tears. To me I think burns are the worst kinds of injuries. They stay there longer than a scrape and hurt a lot more to. They feel like it will never go away!
Now imagine that kind of pain but multiplied as far as pain itself can be, that would be excruciating! I could never imagine that kind of pain. But there is that kind of pain. That kind of pain is in hell. If you do not except Jesus in your heart you will go there. Why am I telling you this? I am telling you this because it is true, hell is not a story it's the real deal.
Now you might be saying "Oh I already believe in Christ, you don't have to worry about me!" If you think that here is a thought for you, are you worried about the other people around you who are not saved? The reason why me and Seviann picked "The Next Teen Generation in Action" is not just because it's catchy, it's because it means something. The Next Teen Generation is you! You are the next generation.
Are you going to be the teen that says "I am saved I won't go to hell I am fine." and that's it? Will you ever give a second thought on the people who are not saved? Here are some facts that I learned.
There is an estimate of 6.7 billion people in this world.
75% do NOT know the Lord.
2 people die each second.
There is and estimate of 155,000 people who die each day. That is a lot right? Can you believe that 75% of the people of the world don't know God? This is where the action comes in on our title. Get out there and spread the good news! Jesus paid much to high of a price for us to pick and chose who should come.(To Heaven) By Casting Crowns. I am not saying you should walk up to a complete strangers house, if you want to do that make sure you are working in groups, it's better to be safe than sorry. But if you are public schooled you can be kind to the other kids, remind yourself 75% of people in the world are not saved. Then when you get a chance spread God's wonderful news, do it! Now be expected to be picked on. But all you have to do is ignore them and eventually they'll stop. But remind yourself God loved you so much he sent his only son, then I believe it would be easier to love another.
That was powerful!
