Where will you spend eternity?
Be
honest with yourself my friend, do you ever wonder where you’ll end up when you
die? If you haven’t thought about it, you should RIGHT NOW!! The bible tells us
in Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the
judgment”. I know I’m not the first person that has preached the word of God to
you; so what that means is God is trying to arrest your attention. If you’re
not listening to his voice, you need to begin listening today!
Perhaps
you’re the type of person that believes you’re
“good” in your owns eyes and you don’t need God. None of us are good
(Psalm 14; Psalm 53). According to the bible it says, “he that trusts in his own
heart is a fool, but he that walks wisely will be delivered”, Proverbs 28:26.
Every word of God is true.
Another
passage in the bible says this, “now or today is the day of salvation”. Another
verse says, “if you hear the Lord’s voice, do not harden your heart” (2
Corinthians 6:2; Hebrews 3:15).
You
DO NOT have all the time in the world you think you have. Every time God’s word
is rejected, you harden your heart against his grace and mercy; your chances
for salvation in Jesus Christ grow slimmer everyday. Are you willing to take
the chance and presume on God’s grace and say, I’ve got plenty of time for God and Jesus, I’ll get saved later!”
Your
later may be today, and right now! This could be your last night on earth!
The
life you’re living now may be great for you, but I absolutely guarantee you, it
will come to an end.
Where
will you spend eternity? Jesus is coming back!
Have
you seriously thought about that?
If
you haven’t done so, repent of your sins today, and receive Jesus Christ today
as your personal Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10). What in the world are you waiting
for! If you don’t, you’ll spend an eternity in the Lake of Fire (i.e. Hell
fire). That’s forever and ever!
Sin
is a spiritual disease of the soul, and the only cure is confession of your
sins and asking God the Father to forgive you of your sins through the shed
blood of Jesus Christ. When we commit
sin, we transgress God’s law.
You
may be asking, what laws have I broken? We’ve all broken the ten commandments
(Exodus 20). Have you ever told a lie, stolen, hated anyone (murder at heart), lusted
after someone (adultery at heart), taken the Lord’s name in vain? The obvious
answer to these questions is YES! So, by your own admission, you’re a lying, thieving, murderous, adulterous,
blasphemer! How do you look in God’s
eyes now? If you’re honest, you should feel ashamed.
We
know that all lawbreakers should be punished wouldn’t you agree? No earthly
judge in his/her right mind would exonerate a convicted pedophile, rapist, or
murderer would they? We all know they deserve to imprisoned or executed. We as
humans all deserve damnation for the crimes we’ve committed against a Holy God.
And because God is a just and perfect judge, he must punish sin!
The
wonderful news is Jesus has provided eternal salvation to all those that
believe in his accomplished work on the cross. Your sins through Christ will be
cleansed forever and never counted against you again. Jesus took the punishment
we deserved and bore our sins himself (Isaiah 53:4-5; I Peter 2:24-25). This
act satisfied God the Father’s wrath against sin. There was a great exchange!
God took our sins and nailed it to the cross, and in exchange He granted us his
righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).That is why we must believe on what he
did or else we’re lost. Please keep in mind, your sins are only forgiven if you
confess them to God! Jesus death on the cross and shed blood for sins only
applies to those who believe!
Hopefully
God the Father is drawing you to the Son through this note (John 6:44).
Ask
the Lord to forgive you of your sins and believe on the blood sacrifice of
Jesus on the cross! He is the only way to salvation friend (John 14:6). There
is no other person that can save you (Acts 4:12).
Salvation
is the greatest gift of all time. Nothing can exceed it (Ephesians 2:8,9)!
Where
will you spend eternity? Jesus is coming back again (Revelation 19:6-11).
