Just thinking about how short our time on earth is. Whether we die young or live to be 100+, life is short compared to the infinite span of space and eternity.
If you believe, as I do, that this life is just a snapshot of what God has planned for us in the next life - an extraordinary life beyond the grave, then you no doubt have given some thought to what we will experience after our earthly life has ended.
I have been reading a book called, “Imagine the God of Heaven.” It is an account of dozens of NDEs (Near Death Experiences) and the descriptions of God, heaven, or hell that many people talk about when they are resuscitated.
What do you imagine you will discover on the other side? Do you have a sense of purpose for your life? Do you believe you will you still have purpose for living in the next life? Are you living to please yourself, your spouse, family or friends? Or… are you playing to an audience of One? (Wanting to please God first and foremost?)
How will God respond to the life you have lived on this planet? Will he say, “Well done you good and faithful servant” or will he ask you, “What were you thinking? Did you not know that I would hold you accountable for your life?” And when the Son of God asks you how you treated others, what will your answer be? Jesus said, “What you have done for the least of these [my children], you have done it unto me!”
You may be agnostic, an atheist, or believe all roads lead to God. Perhaps you are convinced that science disproves the existence of a Creator God and that life evolved from lightning hitting the right combination of carbon atoms and whatever else - or something like that.
If you believe there is no God and no moral law to which we must answer, then live for today and enjoy every possible pleasure in this life! For soon your life will end and all your relationships, possessions, and opportunities will disappear!
Maybe you are thinking “If God exists he will recognize all the good things I did in this life and forgive my mistakes,” but you may be surprised when you meet a righteous judge (God) who expects you to answer for every thought, word, and deed!
Whatever you believe about the “great beyond” I hope you have made plans for this greatest of all journeys. I don’t want you to face death unprepared.
“We are given one life to live, and then the judgment.” -Jesus Christ.
I would love to chat with you and/or pray with you about your eternal destiny. Scripture says “Now is the day of salvation” and tomorrow may never come. All we have is the current existential moment; there is no guarantee that any of us will wake up tomorrow! So reach out to me or to a Christian you know and trust to get some answers and discover how to get right with God before your time on earth runs out!
God is a good, loving, and just God. He is full of mercy and grace and is ready to forgive all who admit their need for forgiveness and who repent. But God’s Word states that “without faith it is impossible to please God.”
“Hope, faith, and love - these three shall remain.” Reach out for God’s love in faith before it is too late! He (Jesus Christ) is our only hope and He is waiting for you with open arms!
You can email me at: nbcoaching@aol.com or respond to this post. Hope we can chat soon.
God wants you to know Him personally and to bless you now and forever!
