Friend,
After
your death what then?
Have
you considered where you will live throughout eternity?
I had
2 grandfathers who lived into their 90’s.
My
grandpa Mock was 93 and my grandpa Childs was 99 when
they
passed from this earth life.
If
you lived to be 100 years old, it would be a speck
of sand
on the beach compared to your life hereafter in eternity.
The
scriptures tell us there are two destinations for the soul…
Heaven
or Hell.
Everlasting
punishment or Eternal life (Matthew 25:46).
The
scriptures also tell us there are two roads’ people are traveling…
“Enter
by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way
that
leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
“Because
narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,
and
there are few who find it” (Matthew
7:13-14).
What
road are you presently on?
The broad
way.
The narrow
way.
Jesus
Christ came to earth to be our Savior.
He
lived, He died.
He
was resurrected, He ascended back to Heaven.
Jesus
told Thomas…
“I
am the way, the truth, and the life.
No
one comes to the Father except through Me”
(John
14:6).
There
are many roads that lead to and from
Panama
City Beach, FL.
My
family and I just returned from a vacation
in
that fair city.
We traveled
one way there and an entirely
Different
way back to our home in Alabama.
On
the way back, we took the scenic route.
Friend,
Our
spiritual journey is not like that trip.
There
are not many roads (ways) to Heaven.
The
Bible tells us there is only one road (way)
To Heaven
and it is through God’s only
Begotten
Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus
is the way.
Jesus
is the only way!
The
wise man Solomon wrote through
The spirit
the following…
“He
has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also
He has put eternity in their hearts, except
That
no one can find out the work that God does
From
beginning to end”
(Ecclesiastes 3:11).
This
means we can never be completely satisfied
With earthly
pleasures and pursuits.
That’s
why Tom Brady after winning all of those
Super
Bowls could ask “is this all there is?”
The
reason for this…
God
created humans in His image (Genesis 1:26-28).
Therefore,
Mankind
has an inner spiritual thirst (longing).
You
and I have eternal value.
Sadly,
most are preoccupied with this earth life,
many make
more plans for
education,
wedding, financial security, vacations,
retirement
etc…
than for
their spiritual life and well-being.
They
are like the rich farmer
Jesus
spoke of in the parable…
“The
ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
And he thought within himself,
saying,
‘What shall I do, since I have no room to
store my crops?’
So he said, ‘I will do this: I
will pull down my barns and build greater,
and
there I will store all my crops and my goods.
And I will say to my soul,
“Soul, you have many goods laid
up for many years;
take
your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’
But God said to him,
‘Fool!
This night your soul will be required of
you;
then whose will those things be
which you have provided?’
“So is he who lays up treasure
for himself, and is not
rich toward God”
(Luke
12:16-21).
“He
who provides for this life
but
takes no care for eternity
is
wise for a moment
but
a fool forever.
- John Tillotson
Where Will You Spend Eternity?
Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes to you and me!
Tell me, what shall your answer be?
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?
Many are choosing Christ today,
Turning from all their sins away;
Heav’n, shall their happy portion be
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! Eternity!
Leaving the strait and narrow way,
Going the downward road today,
Lost thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
Lost thro’ a long eternity!
Repent, believe, obey this very hour,
Trust in the Savior’s grace and pow’r.
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
- Elisha A. Hoffman
Friend,
Jesus is coming back again!
He will then be our Judge (John 12:48).
You and I will stand before Him in Judgment.
That is one appointment you will not miss.
“Behold, He is
coming with clouds,
and every eye will see Him,
even they who pierced Him.
And all the tribes of the earth
will
mourn because of Him.
Even so, Amen”
(Revelation 1:7).
Are you ready for that day?
