And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and then comes judgement.
This may seem like something too terrible to think about, but it is in fact terrible and at the same time something good. How can it be? There is an explanation to this seemingly contradictory statement. Let's start at the beginning.
John 3: 16 - 17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
The sad truth is, many people have heard this verse, but do not believe or accept it. They live in their fantasy world where either everyone goes to heaven when they die, or death is the end.
John 14: 6
Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live.
These verses are full of hope for everyone who believes. On the other hand we must realize that denial of these truths does not make the truth go away.
Matthew 7: 13 - 14
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
There is only one version of truth, and it happens to be God's version. If you don't know who God is talking about, here it is.
Revelation 21: 8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.
While we are alive, we can turn to Jesus as our Savior. He died for our sins, so we don't have to. All we have to do is accept Jesus as our Savior, believe, and confess our sins.
Mark 16: 16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
One final word. God does not send anyone to hell. Each person decides for himself where he will go, by his actions in life. With God's Word available to all, what a shame it would be to spend eternity living an unimaginable life in hell. Time is running out. Tomorrow may be too late. No matter how many sins we have, God forgives if we repent. God bless you and your family. praise the Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
