Where Will YOU Spend Eternity?
It’s Up To You
Let’s face it, none of us know the day we’ll close our eyes for the last time here on earth. What should be of greater concern is not “when” but rather “where”. Each day, we make a multitude of choices—from what we’ll eat for breakfast to the color socks or stockings we’ll wear to work. The sad news is while earth offers us a variety of choices, eternity only has two choices: heaven or hell. I ask that you answer this next question as honest as you can. Heaven or hell: which do you choose?
According to Scripture, there is none righteous and ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Do you feel that you’re an exception? Have you ever...
- Lied?
- Had sex outside of wedlock?
- Despised another for having something you don’t have?
- Refused to forgive someone who’s hurt you?
- Let pride keep you from doing the right thing?
- Held a grudge in your heart against another?
- Disobeyed the Word of God?
Please Remember These 2 Things...
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. –Romans 6:23
Simply put, eternal death or hell requires no action on your part. This was already taken care during the fall of mankind via Adam & Eve. Since there is no one righteous, not even one (Roman 3:10), we cannot save ourselves from eternal damnation regardless of how many “righteous” acts you commit or “nice” things you do for others. You, yourself, cannot reconcile yourself to God. This too was already taken care of—by the spotless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. However, unlike eternal death, the gift of God DOES require action on your part.
Much like any other gift, the gift itself must actually be received before it can be used, applied or enjoyed. YOUR gift, which is eternal life in Jesus Christ, was already purchased for you on Calvary approximately 2,000 years ago. Now that the gift has already been purchased, redeemed and is waiting for you, will you not receive?
The Second Thing to Remember...
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. -2 Peter 3:9
Peter reminds us that God will fulfill His promise to judge the world and destroy the ungodly. He then goes on to say that God is being patient with you because He does not want you to suffer judgment and destruction. God desires that you repent and receive the gift He’s given to you so that you can spend eternity with Him.
ON TODAY...
“...then choose ye today whom ye will serve.” - Joshua 24:15b
Will you receive His gift of salvation today? Will you let Jesus into your heart right now? You can receive Jesus right where you’re at, even at this very moment while you’re online reading this page. Jesus is One who meets you where you are: whether you’re standing in line at a check-out counter or online reading an article in your bedroom slippers. He’s comes where you are.
Accept Jesus into your heart today!
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” -John 3:5
“My goal is to show YOU that YOU can serve Jesus and absolutely love it!
He wants us to enjoy our lives in Him. In John 15, after describing the relationship we have in and with Him, Jesus tells us in verse 11, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” Later, in John 16:24b, He then tells us, “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
Clearly, He does not want us to live miserable lives, but to instead enjoy the blood-bought, abundant life He’s given us.
