What If This Was Your Last Day On Earth?

What if this was our last day on earth? Would we be doing things differently or just the same as any other day? None of us know the day or hour we will die. The Bible tells us to be alert and ready for we do not know the day or hour when Jesus will return. So what would we do differently if we did know? Would we tell that person we haven't told about Jesus? Maybe it is a family member that we have been planning to talk to but we have put it off. Maybe it is our self and we need to give our life to Jesus. Would you do it today if you knew it was your last chance to have eternal life?

Maybe today is going to be your last chance to have eternal life in Jesus Christ. Remember, it isn't any thing that we have done or can do that will get us into Heaven. It is the gift of God to all who believe and come to Jesus for eternal life. I know there is the belief out there that says if we can be good enough, God will let us in, but that doesn't line up with Scripture. When you are born again, you are given a new life in Jesus Christ. Your old life is done away with and you are a new creation in Christ. This means that God has given you spiritual life. You now have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you to be a helper and a guide into all Spiritual knowledge. Before you have Christ in your life, you are spiritually dead.

We are all on one of two ways in life. One way leads to eternal life, one way leads to destruction and eternal separation from God. "MEANING IN HELL"
Matthew; 7:13-14
("Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.)
Matthew; 7:21
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.)
Salvation is by grace alone, but it is not easy. It calls for knowledge of the truth, repentance, submission to Christ as Lord, and a willingness to obey His will and Word.

Jesus is the way and the only way to eternal life.
John; 14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.)
1John; 5:12
(He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)
Today is the day to make your decision for life in Jesus Christ.

God Bless You!
