Your Answer to One Question Will Establish Your Destination Forever!

One of Satan’s most cherished deceptions is the notion this mortal life is the beginning and the ending of your existence; this is all there is, you die, and you’re gone forever, it’s all over for you!

Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth; every human that has ever lived is still alive somewhere in some form. The impact of being created in the image of God has far-reaching ramifications for everyone.

While it is true our physical bodies, the mortal tents, we occupy for a brief time, must be discarded by a process we call death, our living essence lives on and will never die!

The Bible gives Christians the promise of a heavenly body in 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 where it is written:

“5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. ² We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. ³ For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. ⁴ While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. ⁵ God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.”

We are Born with a Severe Birth Defect!

Human beings are born spiritually dead which would easily qualify as a truly severe defect! The Bible explains our spirits died when Adam sinned against God in the Garden of Eden. This is explained in Romans 5:12 where it is written:

“¹² When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.”

Sadly, everyone does include you and me and everyone born of a human father.

Are You Ready for Some Good News?

Jesus Christ died on the Cross to pay the Penalty for Your Sin!

Fortunately, Romans 5 also has good news; in Romans 5:6-9 we read:

“⁶ When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. ⁷ Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. ⁸ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. ⁹ And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.”

God has once and for all dealt with the matter of sin as a barrier between God and man by sending his Son to die on the cross in our place! Now the only decision each of us must make, is our decision about Jesus Christ as Savior.

Life is One Big Pass/Fail Test!

There is only one question on the test; do you receive Jesus Christ as your very own personal Savior? If you say yes to this and look to Jesus Christ as your Savior, then you pass the test and will live forever as a part of the family of God.

If you say no and reject Jesus Christ as Savior, then you will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

If you’ve ever wondered about the meaning of life, this is the short answer; there is nothing else in life that even comes close to this decision each of us are called on to make concerning our faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!

 ⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Romans 10:9-10
