But Where Will You Go…?
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10- for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” -Rom 10:9-10 (NASB)
Just found out about a friend of mine who passed away very recently. The first thing that I think of when I hear of really anyone passing away is where did their soul go? Their body goes to the grave but it’s the soul and spirit that will live forever.
Our lives here are but a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow is how the saying goes. But in reality this is absolutely the case. And friends this reality will come to each one of us.
You see we only have one chance – while here in the body – to make our decision to follow Christ or not follow Him. Only two choices … please let that sink in deep in your mind and heart.
Now a lot of people will argue this point but just read the Bible and you will know for sure – that is if your faith is build on the solid rock of God’s words to us through His written word. God is truth, the Devil is a liar and will try and take as many people (souls) to hell, which is his final destination, as he can. Le this also sink it for a moment.
Once you/I take our last breath and pass into eternity it’ll be too late to change your mind. You’ve locked in your final destination.
If you’ve made a decision to follow Jesus Christ and make Him you Lord and Savior, then He will meet you at the gates of His kingdom and usher you into His presence. If this is not the case, then the door to certain hell awaits.
My friend’s decision was, as far as I can tell, was to live in the world and enjoy the sin of the world and rebellion to the truth written in God’s word. I suspect but don’t know for sure that he woke up at the gates of hell bit a real possibility based on his lifestyle. Sad!!. Very sad!.
Please friend, I urge you and everyone to make Jesus your Lord according to Romans 10:9-10. Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Saved from what? Eternal damnation, the penalty of your sins, saved from the wrath of God. And do this ASAP – today – for today is the day of salvation.
Remember, we are not guaranteed one more minute to live and any of us could perish before the day of the day today. Jesus put it in perspective when in Scripture He emphasized the need for repentance (of sins) when answering the people in Luke 13. His only focus in His answer was on the importance of repentance in a person’s life. Repentance goes hand in hand with being saved. Confess, believe and repent. (Read and follow the ABC’s on my webpage to be assured of salvation).
I will conclude with this thought – if death came today, where would your/my soul’s final destination be?
“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2– And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4- Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5- No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” -Luke 13:1-5 (ESV)
