Warning label about what? Some character defect? Not good looking? Conservative political views? Poor job? Warning:__________ you fill in the blank.

Now, whatever you fill in the blank with is what is really important to you.

So, WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU....................



Acts, Chapter 11 (World English Bible)
 18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!” 

  19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.  20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.  21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.  22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,  23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.  24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord. 

  25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.  26 
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. (emp. added vs. 26c, GDR)

WHY?

 Acts, Chapter 4 (World English Bible)
 12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!” 



What is most important to you? Answer: that which is the most valuable? Now, you probably are asking "and, how do I determine that...?

My answer is this this: That which provides the best return on investment for the longest time.  And the final answer is.... eternity in heaven with my fellow Christians and God!!!

In short, a CHRISTIAN!!!

BE ONE!!!
