(THE KINGDOM OF GOD OR THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF HELL)
“For the wages of sin are death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:23.
The definition of death comes in many shapes and sizes. It can mean many things to many people but there is no mistaking what death is when Jesus is involved. Death is the opposite of life. Adam represented death and Jesus represents life. Jesus conquered death by leaving this life, going to the depths of hell, returning and then going to sit at the right hand of God Almighty. He has given us a free gift. It is one that we should seek with vengeance but that some completely ignore. The ways of the world and the pleasures we can receive from those ways, will many times, overshadow the desire to look into eternity and the future. Those who have not accepted Christ Jesus will live in the realities of the now and not in the promises of the future. They decide to live in the pleasures of the world, knowing full well, that all life on earth ends. They want to be assured of missing nothing in this world. There is not one person on this earth who will live here forever. We all will say good-by in one form or another. However, to some it will merely be a transfer from this realm to the spiritual realm. As followers of Christ Jesus, we will live forever! There will be no death to look forward to. The free gift of Jesus provides us with the opportunity to be with him forever and forever. But those who have other priorities in their earthly lives will find that death is real. There is great sorrow and judgment in their future. They will find the truth but when they do it will be too late. The time is getting shorter and shorter for what we know of our world today. The clock ticks on and on and one of these days the end will come. Either it will be time for us to make our transfer or Jesus will return in the clouds. If we are serious, we are looking to our future and not to our end. If we are serious, we will not be afraid of the world around us, the persecution set before us or of those who can do harm to our bodies but not our souls. Why would we play with fire when we have been given the promises of God that save us? Why would anyone take a chance? The time is now! It is time to be serious about who we are and who we believe in. Jesus is still waiting! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALLL THINGS!
