Where are you going?
People used to be careful to plan for their futures. They want to have
a good pension when they become old, and good nursing while they
are living. They provide pension insurance, life insurance, and many
other insurances for themselves, against fire, accidents, theft, etc.
For them cannot know what that can happen to them. Yet, they dare
live their whole life without any insurance for the eternity.
This time that we are living here on the earth is so enormously short
in comparison with the eternity, so that it must be a million times
more important how the eternity may be for us. Yet, regarding most
importance of all, how it becomes for us after the death, then most
people are very gullible and nonchalant. They mean that it will be
all right. They know that once they come to die. Nevertheless, they
do not know when or how. It is idiotic that do not prepare themselves,
but before the death, they are quite unprepared. Many people set their
hope to the Church and think that the priests care about them, but
what can the Church do? The Church can deceive you to hell,
in the same way that the Church has deceived millions of others!
Many people have a comprehension of that if they would be
Christians and believe in God, then almost everything is forbidden.
It is on the contrary. The ungodly, and not the Christians, are obliged
to obey God's law. "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient ..." 1 Tim. 1:9-10.
"Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them
who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the
world may become guilty before God." Rom. 2:6, 3:19. Matt. 16:27.
Jesus says in Matt. 12:36, "But I say unto you, That every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment."
"Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the
sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I
will repay, saith the Lord." Rom. 12:17-19.
Those who do not want to turn to Jesus and believe in him, they have
rejected God's grace and come to get full revenge for their deeds. God
hath committed all judgment unto the Son. John 5:22. We don't need
to repay those who are against us. Lord Jesus does it for us. God is
just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief
to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the
Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful
angels. 2 Thess. 1:6-7.
If people comprehend the Bible as an exacting law book, it is because
they are under the law. We who believe in Jesus and have received
him as our Saviour are not under the Law, but under the grace.
Rom. 6:14. "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
Gal. 5:18.
Since we are sinners before God, we cannot decide the condition
for our salvation. It is God who demands and we have to obey him.
What we can decide is if we want to subordinate us to God, or be
lost forever.
Some people mean that they believe in God, but now they are not
willing to receive Jesus as their Saviour. Now they want to live
according to their own pleasure. When they become old, then it
is suitable that be a Christian. On their deathbed they want God
to care about them, but it is in the highest degrees injudicious that
delay this so urgent sake until they become old. If they cannot
decide to clear up their sake before God when they are young and
healthy, how would they then can makes such an urgent decision
when they are old and sick? Many people die suddenly and get
no deathbed.
Many people think they are good. They are conscientious and do
not hurt any person's feelings. They pay their tax and do their share.
They think that their position before God is good, but in the reality
their position before God is very bad.
When the prophet Isaiah in a vision saw the Lord he said, "Woe is
me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I
dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have
seen the King, the Lord of hosts." Isaiah 6:1-5. When Isaiah,
God's prophet, could not stand seeing the Lord in a vision, how
could then those self-righteous people stand before God in all
eternity? They would experience that our God is a consuming
fire. Hebr. 12:29.
"The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the
hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burning? "
Isaiah 33:14.
It can seem to be no great difference between those who believe
in Jesus and other decent and well-behaved people, yet it is an
essential difference. Through our faith in Jesus we have the
forgiveness of sins and the blood of Jesus purifies us from
every sin. Acts 10:43, 13:38-39. Eph. 1:7. This is our life
insurance for the eternity.
You, who have not received Jesus as your Saviour, consider
that you are without this life insurance for the eternity. Jesus
gave his life on the cross to save you. He has authority on the
earth to forgive sins, but if you do not accept his offer to salvation,
then you must yet perish. Matt. 9:6. Hebr. 2:1-4.
After the death, the differences between those who believe in
Jesus and "other decent and well-behaved" people, become so
great as the difference between heaven and hell.
