How about the words, “You are going to die!” Do you
know where you’re going when you die? As a minister, people often ask me this
question. Readers, I ask you, if you should hear the statement, “Get your
things in order; you are going to die,” do you know for certain where you are
going?
Many people are
concerned about having a Living Trust or a Will, but have no Idea what will
happen to them when they die. Having your life in order is not just a Living Trust
or Will . . . it is knowing Heaven is your home.
When our
earthly journey is over, we will spend it in one of two places — Heaven or
Hell. People say, “Judy, I do not believe in Hell” or “I do not want to talk
about it.” We do not hear much from the pulpits about hell but a whole lot
about God’s love! Yes, He is love but that does not take away the fact that
Jesus talked about Hell a lot! Read your Bible.
The Book of
John very clearly tells us that the Savior came: For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
These are great Scriptures to mediate on. Every human being
must believe in Jesus Christ if he or she is not to be condemned by God. Not
just mental assent but to believe means to be fully assured and convinced He is
the only one who gives eternal life and that He went to the cross for our sins . “
Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way,
the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’”
(
John
14:6)
.
Belief in Jesus as our Savior and Lord is the most important
decision we could ever make in our life.
If you do
not have a Bible (our manual for success), then you need to get one. Start
reading it. That is how I came to the decision that when I leave this earth, I
want Heaven as my eternal home and not Hell. I am an evangelist and I do not
sugar coat eternal decisions. Make the right one today. Our only hope is Jesus
Christ. Then go tell others.
