Life isn’t just existing here from day to day. No God had something different in mind for us. God didn’t put us here just to use up the resources of this planet and then pass on to oblivion. God had a plan for us, his children, when he created this wonderful place for us to inhabit. God created us in his image with the ability to make choices about our life. God watches us as we go through life making mistakes and making good and bad decisions. He could have put us here without the free will to make choices but instead he gave us the option of making choices about how we live our lives. At times God must be very pleased with some of us, when we work hard to live up to his expectations. Then there are the other times when God must be sad when he sees the way we waste our life in the pursuit of evil pleasures. Think how sad God must be when he has to watch us give in to the temptations of the devil. Only God could have the patients to wait while we go on doing things that must make him feel like maybe he made a bad decision when he created the human race. We curse him and give in to the temptations of the flesh and refuse to believe in him. Were it not for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross God would surly write us off as not worthy of his blessings and either destroy this earth or send us all to hell.
For those of us that think that they can go through life thinking of only themselves and living in sin, a sad day is coming. I used to call it playing a long shot before I started believing in God. I thought I could live the way I wanted to and in the end just ask God to take me home and all would be well. This might work for someone that has led a life in sin not knowing that they were breaking God’s laws. God surly will make exceptions for the simple minded and the uninformed, but for the con man and the long shot players there will be no exceptions.
The wages of sin is death! How much planer does it get than that? Live a life in sin and death will be the final destination. The life we have here on earth is only a small example of what we will have when we are called home to God’s Kingdom. Think of it, eternity with peace and tranquility where no one will be abused and every day will be the most beautiful day we have ever known. No sickness, no tears, no hardships, no killings, murder, rape, theft or any other problems that we now have. Isn’t this promise of a new life with God and Jesus in a place where everyone will live forever in comfort and eternal bliss worth anything we have to do now to achieve it? God doesn’t ask us to be perfect, only to love him and accept his love for us. God sent his son to be the lamb so we would be able to come home to him. Accept Jesus as your personal savior and the way to eternal life will be open to you.
Remember, Choose eternal life over eternal damnation. Eternity is waiting for us all the only question is how we are going to spend it.
