GOD'S P AND L STATEMENT

by David C. Edwards

 

The success of business and industry depends on the accuracy of future

planning. This planning must consider growth prospects and anticipate possible

market variations, It is the function of management to be responsible and

accountable for this plan. This plan is implemented through accurate and

precise budgeting. The budget is the projected cost figures for a period of

time culminating in a profit and loss statement. These figures are the basis

upon which a man's performance is judged.

GOD has laid out His budget plan in the Holy Bible. He is very specific as to

what He expects and every person will be held accountable.

Matthew I 2:36,37

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall

give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be

justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

II Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness:

but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that

all should come to repentance."

Romans 3:23

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Romans 6:23a

"For the wages of sin is death...."

All mankind is lost in sin. However, GOD provided a way of salvation through

His Son JESUS CHRIST.

Romans 6:23b goes on to say,

"... but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

In business it is good to have an alternate plan, or as some have referred to

it, "a back door". GOD provided one way, one plan. Salvation is through His

SON JESUS CHRIST, There is no alternate plan with GOD. Our debt of sin was

paid once and for all upon the cross.

I John 5:11-13

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life

is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of

God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the

name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..."

If your life is culminating in a loss according to GOD'S plan, then receive

JESUS CHRIST as your personal Savior, and He will credit that loss, for "JESUS

paid it all."

God's P and L statement is found in Mark 8:36, "For what shall it profit a man

if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

Right now, wherever you may be, pray this prayer and mean it, and GOD will

save you as He promised.

"Dear LORD JESUS, I know I'm a sinner and need to be saved. I believe that you

rose again and offer me the free gift of salvation. I receive you as my LORD

and SAVIOR and ask you to be master of my life. Please come and live within me

now. Amen."

If you prayed this prayer and meant it sincerely, the Bible says in Luke

15:10, "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels

of God over one sinner that repenteth."

Also in II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new

creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Welcome to the family of GOD!
