La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec is a vital part of the extensive radio work of MissionGO

which reaches into many French-speaking countries of the world. The broadcasts are recorded in the studio of the radio follow-up office in Châteauguay.

The ministry began in 1955 in the Back to the Bible Broadcast studios in Lincoln, Nebraska through a staff member who spoke French fluently and had a burden for the French-speaking people of the world. An office was soon established in Aix-en-Provence in France.

In 1974, an office was opened in Châteauguay, Québec, under the direction of MissionGO representatives, Clarence and Pearl Shelly. At the present time, the broadcasts are aired on one station in Montreal and one in Champlain, NY. Stephen Frank became the director of La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec in 2006. His wife, Karen, is also a representative of MissionGO.

The weekly French-language 15-minute broadcast features Pastor Michel Martel, a Québec evangelist who faithfully teaches the Word of God. Audio messages (in French only) are available on CDs at a reasonable cost as well as approximately 40 books in French on the Christian life.

How to have Eternal Life
Epicurus, the Greek philosopher, said: « Each of us leaves life with the feeling that he has just been born, » while according to the Arabic proverb, « Death is closer to us than the eyelid of the eye. »

The thoughtful man therefore thinks of the afterlife, but only one throughout the history of mankind has triumphed over death; one who spoke with authority and simplicity of eternal life – Jesus Christ.

What is eternal life?
Eternal life is a life that never ends, and moreover, has a spiritual dimension. Jesus told His listeners, « I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. » The Gospel according to John 5:24.
His listeners were alive, but because of sin (and all are sinners) they were dead spiritually. Many brilliant men are nevertheless agnostics, atheists, because they are spiritually dead. Their relationship with God is broken, for they do not know Him. Jesus said to His Father, « Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. » John 17:3
 
You and eternal life
« Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. » First epistle of John 5:10-12.
The theme of the Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that of the Redeemer, the Son of God. Over 300 prophecies were fulfilled to the letter in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.It is God speaking to you and if you do not believe in this message, or if you modify it, you make God a liar and you bring upon yourself everlasting destruction, far from the presence of the Lord.But, if by faith you receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you will live forever.
Jesus knocks at the door of your life. He wants to give you eternal life. You can experience the forgiveness of sin, peace and communion with God, and the power of a new and spiritual life. This life also has an eternal dimension; therefore, death is not the end but the dawn of an eternal and glorious day in the presence of Jesus Christ and His Father.
 
How do we receive eternal life?
« For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. » John 3:16. 
What needs to be done to inherit eternal life? We must trust in Jesus Christ. Sin caused death: spiritual and physical. Every man is spiritually dead and all die physically. Jesus paid the debt of our sin and therefore, if we are willing to turn from our sins and trust Him, He will forgive us and give us eternal life, for « the Son gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. » John 5.21
 
Can we know that we have eternal life?
The apostle John completed his first epistle with the words, « I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. » 1 John 5:13. Jesus gave this assurance to the repentant thief, telling him, « today you will be with Me in paradise. » The Gospel according to Luke 23:43
 
Can you lose eternal life?
In this case it would not be eternal. Moreover, Jesus said, « And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. » John 6:39 & 40. Speaking of His « sheep” He says: « I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand. » John 10:28. As Jesus gives eternal life to all who trust in Him, He also keeps.
 
It’s Your Decision « For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son … Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him. » John. 3:17, 18 & 36
These verses in the Gospel of John say that you have the responsibility for your eternal fate in your hands. Jesus has done all that is necessary for your salvation and now offers you eternal life. « He who believes has everlasting life. » John 6:47.That is His promise.
What will you do with Jesus? Draw near to God in prayer and tell Him with all your heart that you trust in Jesus Christ in order to receive His salvation and eternal life.
 
Let us know of your decision so that we can rejoice with you and send you literature to help you in your new life of faith in Jesus Christ.

Aches and Praise Six Hundred & Eighty Three

October 11, 2024
 
 
Dear friends,  
 

On Tuesday, Karen and I had the joy of taking a friend to a restaurant near where she lives to celebrate her birthday. It was great to see the owners greet her and ask how she was. After a delicious meal, a piece of cake was brought to her while we sang “Happy birthday to you!” The next day, Karen cooked a wonderful meal for another friend’s birthday and our colleagues brought a tasty cake. I don’t know if we’ve ever celebrated birthdays of two friends on consecutive days before, but we made special memories this week.

In sorting files at our office, I came across a study that Karen’s father prepared many years ago. It is “How can I know and be sure that I am saved?” It begins:

The answer: If you are saved you will know it! If you are not sure perhaps you have never personally accepted Jesus Christ into your heart. It is for you that these lines are written.

Note: To be saved means to knowingly, by a decision of your will, receive God’s gift of salvation by faith into your heart. To ‘believe’ is to ‘receive’ (John 1:12). A Christian is one who has the Holy Spirit in his heart (Rom. 8:9). There is no salvation apart from the Spirit’s presence.”

In last week’s blog, we looked at what John Blanchard wrote in his book entitled “Ultimate Questions.” He wrote:

“When disease is first diagnosed, it is important to ask the question: ‘Is it serious?’ It is even more important to ask that question about the spiritual disease of sin. Many people will almost cheerfully admit to being sinners, because they have no idea what this means.”

Karen’s father’s study emphasizes the importance of recognizing that the Bible is the Word of God: “Your salvation depends on the promises of God (not what you feel but ‘what God says’) – 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 1 Peter 1:20, 23; 2 Peter 1:20-21

You cannot save yourself. Your salvation depends upon what Christ has done for you – He died on the cross for your sin and mine. Isaiah 64:5; Rom. 3:10-20; 1 Peter 2:24 & 3:18

Sin separates you from a Holy God and that sin brings condemnation = God’s judgment. Rom. 3:23 & 6:23; John 3:16, 18 & 36”

The study then gives six responses to the question “What must I do to be saved?”

  • Recognize that you are a sinner before God = GOD EXISTS. Rom. 3:10 & 23 and 6:12 & 19
  • Come to God and ask for forgiveness = BE READY TO REPENT. Heb. 4:16; John 4:24; 5:39-40; 6:35, 37, 44 & 47 and 9:31
  • God loves you = GOD HATES SIN. John 3:16; Rom. 5:8; 2 Peter 3:9
  • Christ accomplished everything upon the cross for your salvation = CHRIST PAID THE PRICE. 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; 1 Peter 2:24
  • Salvation is offered to us as a gift by the grace of God = ACCEPT IT. Eph. 2:8-9 and 6:23; Titus 3:5
  • Believe in Him by accepting Jesus Christ personally = BELIEVE IT. John 1:12; 3:16 & 18; 5:24 and 6:47; Rom. 10:9-10; Rev. 3:20
Christ’s invitation in Revelation 3:20 clearly shows what sinners must do: open the door of our heart and receive His gift of salvation. If you have repented and received God’s forgiveness, you have received the greatest gift anyone could ever get. If you haven’t asked God’s forgiveness for your sins, what are you waiting for?

One of the many joys that the Lord gives His children is the understanding of His Word.  One way to memorize Scripture is to learn hymns that proclaim God’s truths, like what the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy (please see “Scripture for the weekend”).

As Canadians look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving Day next week, let’s remember how much the Lord has done for us.

Scripture for the weekend: “For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV)                                                                                                                                                                                                              
Thought for the weekend: “Death may be the king of terrors, but Jesus is the King of kings.” – Dwight L. Moody

 

By His grace,

Steve
