One of the most important decisions
in life that you must make is where you will spend eternity.
Of course if you
don't believe in life after death, then you need not be concerned. Right? Let
me ask you though, suppose there is such a state as eternity and then you
die.
It will then be too late. Based on that fact, would it not be worthwhile to
see what the Bible says about eternity?
Let me give you a
quick glimpse of what the Bible tells us about ourselves in relationship to
eternity. The Bible tells us that there is life after death.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
The requirement to
live eternally with God is to be sinless -- but this is impossible God says in
Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God". The
only way we can be reconciled to God is by believing that Christ died for our
sins.
John 3:16 says
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that who ever believes on him should not perish,but have eternal
life."
Romans 6:23
Says again, the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If we believe the
Bible -- God's Word and accept the free gift of God, then we can be assured we
will spend eternity with God in heaven.
You might say well,
"What if this is not true?" I would say to you then, "WHAT IF IT IS TRUE?" If
I am wrong, then I will have lived a good life and simply died. But if I am
right, and the Bible is true and you do not believe, then you will spend
eternity in the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15 And if
any was not found written in the Book of life,he was cast into the lake of
fire.
This is an
IMPORTANT decision for you to make. I pray you will consider this
information. Please read the verses again in your own Bible. Why take a
chance with such an important issue as to where you will spend eternity? An
eternity in hell does not have to be your fate, but that is your decision, for
no one can make it for you.
Please ask Jesus to
save you today! Will you do that?
If you have made this commitment to Jesus, please drop me a piece of
email
and let me know of this monumental decision. Thank you.
