Where Will You Go When You Die?

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:14-16 - KJV)

***********************************************


     I don't know how many times I've watched movies before I accepted Christ and saw people die and didn't think anything about it.  But as I grow closer to God when I see a movie where someone dies the first thought in my head is, "I wonder if they accepted Jesus", even though it is just a movie and they didn't really die. When I read the paper or watch the news and read of someone dying it's always the first thought on my mind. I will often say a prayer and ask God to "have mercy on their soul".   But the truth is if they died without accepting Christ then there is no hope for their soul. This is not God's desire for us.  1 Thessalonians 5:9 says, "For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."




     We tend to take it for granted that when we leave the house in the morning we will return home after a long days' work.  But how many people left the house for work or just going to the store to get a paper and gallon of milk, only to get into a horrible accident or die from a robbery attempt or even have a heart attack in the grocery store parking lot!

     The truth is we never know when our last moment will be on this earth. So we should make it a priority to accept Jesus right now instead of waiting. The Winans sing a song called "Tomorrow" that simply says, "...better choose the Lord today. For tomorrow very well may be too late".  If you've been thinking about it, do it today! You may not be here tomorrow.  And where you wake up after you fall asleep in death is going to be where you'll spend eternity! Think about it. 

     If you want to accept the wonderful gift of eternal life with the Father today, just say this prayer with me.

"Jesus! I know you died for me to save me from my sins. I believe you are the savior of the world. I repent of my sins and I ask you to come into my life today Jesus. I believe you are the son of God and if I invite you into my life, I will be saved. So I thank you Jesus for coming into my life. I turn from my sinful ways of the past and I welcome the opportunity to serve you forever.  I thank you Lord for I am now saved."

     If you just said that prayer and believe what you've said, you are now saved!!  Now go and tell 3 people about what just happened to you.  Here is a link to a daily bible reading program to get you started.  Getting into the Word of God will begin to renew your mind and help you to grow in Christ.

Ask God to lead you to a full-gospel, bible-teaching church to help you grow in your new rebirth.  Glory to God for the angels in heaven are rejoicing!! 

God bless you!
