Heaven or Hell? It is a Choice!

We are living in tough times. Where do we go for help when a crisis hits our life or the lives of our family?

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.
