YOU’VE GOT MAIL

When the internet and email were first established, AOL came out with the saying each time that you got an email, “You’ve got mail.” It alerted you to check your email. Later that saying was made into a romantic comedy. It has become a saying that many still use.

Did you know that God has sent you an “email”? I call it “eternal mail or e’mail,” sent from God. His Word was “sent” by the Holy Spirit as the prophets and scribes of old wrote down what God said. One e’mail says, “He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” What a great “e’mail” full of promises from God. Strangely enough, many have never read that e’ mail and still remain sick. If you do not read God’s e’mails, how can you know what they say?

Another email from God says: “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation (payment) for our sins.” Now that is the best e’mail ever, but if you never read it, you would not know about it.

I did a survey once and asked people, “How many books were there in the Bible.” This was a face-to-face survey. Of those that I asked, which included people in the ministry, over 90% did not get the answer right. (The answer is sixty-six in the King James Bible.) This showed me that they had not read their “e’mail” enough to know what was in it.

Do we spend as much time reading our e’mails sent from God as we do our emails? If not, I can say for certain that we are reading the wrong mail.
