1. WHAT GOD WANTS YOU
MUST HAVE DONE BEFORE
RETURNING TO DUST

2. Genesis 3:19
By the sweat of your brow you
will eat your food until you
return to the ground, since from
it you were taken; for dust you
are and to dust you will return."

Remembering the
Sacrifice of the
Lord Jesus

4. Psalm 90:10
(NIV) The length of our days is seventy
years-- or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for
they quickly pass, and we fly away.
(BBE) The measure of our life is seventy
years; and if through strength it may be
eighty years, its pride is only trouble and
sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are
quickly gone.
(CEV) We can expect seventy years, or
maybe eighty, if we are healthy, but even
our best years bring trouble and sorrow.
Suddenly our time is up, and we disappear.

5. Psalm 90:12
(NIV) Teach us to number our days
aright, that we may gain a heart of
wisdom.
(CEV) Teach us to use wisely all the
time we have.
(CJB) So teach us to count our days,
so that we will become wise.

6. RIGHT QUESTION:
WHAT DOES GOD WANT YOU TO
HAVE DONE BEFORE RETURNING
TO DUST?

7. 1. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE BELIEVED
IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR
AND HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN
1John 3:23
And this is his command: to believe in
the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,
and to love one another as he
commanded us.

truth, no one can see the kingdom of
God unless he is born again."

Spirit gives birth to spirit.
John 3:7
You should not be surprised at
my saying, `You must be born again.'

9. 2. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE LIVED
FOR AND BY FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS
Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is
gain.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life
I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son
of God, who loved me and gave himself
for me.

10. 3. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE DONE
HIS WILL

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord,
Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but only he who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven.
John 19:30

said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed
his head and gave up his spirit.

11. 4. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE BEEN
USEFUL IN TEACHING HIS WORDS
Acts 20:24
However, I consider my life worth
nothing to me, if only I may finish
the race and complete the task the
Lord Jesus has given me--the task of
testifying to the gospel of God's
grace.

12. Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in[1] the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit,
Matthew 28:20
and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I am
with you always, to the very end of the
age."

13. 5. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE BORNE
MANY FRUIT OF SAVED AND DISCIPLES
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Jude 1:23
snatch others from the fire and save
them; to others show mercy, mixed
with fear--hating even the clothing
stained by corrupted flesh.

14. John 15:8
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear
much fruit, showing yourselves to be my
disciples.
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you
and appointed you to go and bear fruit--
fruit that will last. Then the Father will
give you whatever you ask in my name.

conclusion of the matter: Fear God

this is the whole duty of man.

the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-

But just as you excel in everything--
in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in
complete earnestness and in your
love for us[1]--see that you also excel
in this grace of giving.

23. THERE ARE 700 POTENTIALS IN YOU
The richest deposits on our planet lie just
in your local cemetery
or graveyard. Buried beneath the soil
within the walls of those
sacred grounds are dreams that never
came to pass, songs that
were never sung, books that were never
written, paintings that
never filled a canvas, ideas that were
never shared, visions that
never became reality, inventions that
were never designed, plans
that never went beyond the drawing
board of the mind, and
purposes that were never fulfilled. Our
graveyards are filled with
potentials that remained potentials. What
a tragedy!
