What is eternity? One definition is endless life after death.
Jesus said, John 17:3, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
Do you know God and Jesus?
One day your life on this earth will come to be no more. You will either die or be raptured by Jesus Christ! In the coming weeks, I will share more about the Rapturing of the Church!
It can be frightening if you don’t know the Lord Jesus but comforting if you do!
There is life after death. Contrary to popular beliefs and wishes, there are only 2 options of where you will spend eternity. The Bible clearly tells us those who have placed their heart and trust with a confession of making Jesus as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity on the New Earth and Heaven. Those who reject Jesus Christ, will spend eternity in Hell separated from God.
Some think they are escaping this life, by suicide, or coming back in another form of life (ex. animal), or maybe this life is all there is.
What are you doing to prepare for eternity?
What comes to mind, is a very popular person who was getting ready to celebrate their 100th birthday in a couple weeks! This person past away New Year’s Eve (December 31st). Never made it to the next year. Even though this individual was well in age, it was surprising to many when the person died. I read, someone commented they thought this person would live forever. Well, they are and will. So will you and I my friend.
You don’t know the day nor the hour when your life will end here. Hebrews 9:27, “And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”
For those who are born again, will be judged for the deeds done or failed to do during one’s lifetime but will escape punishment of hell. The Believer will live forever in the presence of God and Jesus! For the non-Believer, the judgment will be eternity in hell.
We take great detail and care to prepare for important events in our lives! Such as weddings, birthdays, births, retirement, dating, vacations, even loved ones funerals! But we don’t invest in the most important preparation we will ever have, where we will spend eternity!
Why, because we don’t think there is any value to doing so. This is a dangerous error. Eternity is endless! Our minds cannot fathom what endless existence means. But it is real!
Don’t allow the enemy to deceive you, choose to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior right now!
Romans 10:9. “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
It is the most important decision you will ever make!
