“The Lord says, ‘ I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust my name.’ ” Psalm 91:14
“So, we don’t look at the troubles we can see now, rather we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
Investing in our retirement in this world is something that is always on our minds. It all begins when we obtained our very first solid job. We are told from the beginning that we should begin to put away monies for our future retirement, so that when we become the age to settle into our golden years, we will have enough to take care of ourselves for the rest of our lives on this earth. That is wise information that everyone should take seriously.
There is another investment that is even more important, and this investment must be made while we are living on this earth. It is the investment into our eternal salvation. When we do pass into the next life we will go to one of two places. We will either go to be with our Lord God in heaven or we will go to be with the devil in hell. As we walk through this world each day, we make choices that may or may not affect our future presence in heaven. We have to make decisions that can and will affect the way we think and live. Sometimes we are able to recover from our unwise decisions and sometimes not. When we invest in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are truly investing in the future. We are investing in the unseen and not the seen. We are trusting in the promises that our God has made to us throughout history, and we are to abide by his commandments and his ways of life. We will all come to that fork in the road. The decision we make will determine our eternal destiny. The question is, will we try to enjoy our lives on this earth without our Lord by our side or will we accept him as our Lord and Savior and live a life worthy of his name? That is a choice that becomes the most important choice we will ever make. I truly believe that there are those who think that they may go to hell but that it will be nothing less than a huge party with all of their current friends. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hell is just what it says it is. We have never experienced anything like it, and we do not want to face it. To live in eternity is to live without an end. I want to live without an end in heaven! What is your choice? If you choose to trust in God then just say the following words: LORD JESUS, I ACCEPT YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT OF MY SINS. I LOVE YOU AS YOU LIVE ME. I THANK YOU FOR DYING UPON THAT CROSS FOR THE FOREGIVNESS OF MY SINS AND MY LIFE, AND I THANK YOU FOR THE LIFE YOU ARE GIVING ME. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN. If you prayed this prayer, then your God in heaven has accepted you as his child. Please continue to pray to him, praise him and study his word. Find a good bible believing church where you can find those who will surround you with the love of Jesus and encourage you. You just make a great investment into your future. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
