Where Will You Live In Eternity? |
|

Our earthly life is so brief. It is a short
distance from the cradle to the grave, even if we live to a ripe
old age. Then we pass forever into a place where time is
swallowed up into eternity. No clocks will remind us of minutes,
hours, months and years. When millions of years have passed,
eternity will have just begun. And it will never end. All the
things we now cherish-home, position, wealth and pleasure will
fade away as we are called to the great beyond.
The question then is: Where will I be in eternity? The choice is
ours. Godıs Word says, ³Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.² (Matt. 7:13-14).
There are only two ways-the broad way and the narrow way. The
broad way is the way of sin, sorrow and eternal death. All who
have come to the age of accountability and have not been born
again, are on the broad way. Jesus said to Nicodemus, a moral
and religious teacher in Israel, ³...Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God. Marvel not that I said unto
thee, Ye must be born again.² (John 3:3, 7).
It is a sad fact that even multitudes of religious
people-leaders and church members, are on this broad way. They
have never been born again. The broad way leads to eternal
destruction, the lake of fire-the doom of the lost. ³And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire.² (Rev. 20:15).
The narrow way is the way of life, peace and eternal happiness.
All who travel this way must enter in at the strait gate by the
way of repentance, finding forgiveness of their sins through the
blood of Jesus. They must have assurance that they have passed
from death to life and are traveling the way leading to
heaven-the eternal habitation of the redeemed. ³And there shall
in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither sorrow
nor crying,² but eternal glory and unspeakable joy will be the
portion for all its inhabitants.
Dear reader, which way are you traveling? Your destination will
be either heaven or hell. You will either be forever with the
Lord, or eternally lost.
A millionaireıs daughter was facing death. Her ungodly parents
had no concern about the future. As she was nearing the brink of
eternity, she said to her mother, ³Very soon I shall be gone
from this world, with all its hollow pleasures into which you
led me, and to me it is dark and all unknown.
"Mother, take my jewels and bury them with me; let my name and
memory be forgotten, for I know my soul is lost. . . . Yes I am
going, going into a never-ending eternity, and you have been the
means of my destruction.²
Jesus said, ³...Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction,...² It is not Godıs will that any should
perish, and be lost forever. ³For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.² (John 3:16).
Jesus came ³to seek and save that which was lost.² He suffered
and died on the cross to make salvation possible for all who
will travel on the narrow way.
We cannot enter in by our own good works, or by joining the
church and being baptized. We must come to Jesus as a lost,
hopeless sinner, confessing and forsaking our sins and receiving
Christ as our personal Saviour.
Ask yourself these questions:
Which way am I traveling? Where will I be in eternity? Remember,
eternity will never end. You may be nearer your eternal
destination than you think. If you are unsaved, wonıt you come
to Jesus now? |
