Where Are You Going To Spend Your Eternity?

“Neither there is salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”                                                              (Acts 4:12)

Time passes quickly. The clock of time is wound only once, and no man has the power to tell when it will stop. Even as you read these words, the ageing process is going in our bodies and everything around us. We read in God’s Word, the Bible….

“For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14).

You might think that you have plenty of time and many years ahead of you. Well…..tell me, can a doctor guarantee that any part of your body will not fail any time? Or, can you guard yourself against the hundreds of unseen dangers and incidents in our everyday life? Of course, NOT! Yet death and judgment are sure. God’s Word says,

“……..it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”        (Hebrews 9:27)

Eternity is endless, forever and ever, and God has left this eternal choice up to each of us; to choose heaven or hell, eternal joy or eternal agony. Yet there is so little concern about this eternal matter, like the rich man we read about in the gospel according to Luke……

“And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee…” (Luke 12:19-20).

What must you do?

1. Admit that you are a sinner…”For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).
2. Repent….for…… “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish..” (Luke 13:3).
3. Believe….”that Christ died for our sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
4. Ask….Jesus Christ to come into your life as Saviuor and Lord. You must decide where will you spend eternity. Jesus said, “ I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
