Your Escape

Yesterday, while driving with my wife, we noticed a roadside sign advertising for a local insurance company. It had a rather pointed and direct slogan. This is what it said:

PLAN YOUR ESCAPE!

My wife’s comment was, “That would make a good gospel message.” I certainly agreed with her, and the first verse that came to mind was, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3).

Of course, the answer is contained in many gospel verses, and we are not left in any doubt as to how to plan our escape from hell and the awful consequences of being shut out from God in that dreadful place for all eternity. Here are just three of those directive Scriptures:

“Repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

So the question remains, Have you not only planned your escape, but have you made your escape?
