What will you do with Jesus? What will He do with you?

We put all our home redecorating stuff on hold for a few days to come to West Virginia to see my Dad. He had suffered a severe heart attack, followed by other complications last week, so we came down to help Mom out and visit with Dad. After a really rough few days he was showing improvement yesterday and today. We praise God for all the people who have been holding him up in prayer. It has been wonderful to see how many people love and care for my parents. It is wonderful to see God's healing power manifested in those we love.

Obviously life is fragile. There is nothing certain about it except that it will end. We never know when it will be our time to go. It could be on our way to the hospital to visit someone else, or it could be after a long battle with illness. Sometimes we get a warning that death is imminent, and other times it is sudden and unexpected. The Bible says we are destined to die and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). When you face Jesus Christ will He be your Gentle Savior welcoming you to heaven, or will He be your Just Judge sentencing you to an eternity in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:14)?

James 4:13-15

Do Not Boast About Tomorrow

¹³ Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; ¹⁴ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. ¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

How much time do you think you have here on earth? YOU DON'T KNOW!! Why take a chance with your eternity when it is so easy to be assured a place in heaven? God's word promises us life everlasting with Him and all those who have placed their faith in Him to pay for their sins. Why gamble with your destiny? Take God at His word! Believe what He says because God cannot lie!

What does God promise us? A new heaven and a new earth, and eternity living with God, no more pain, death, sorrow, or crying (Revelation 21:1-4).

Here's what God has to say about everlasting life. Whether you believe it or reject it, it is still true.

Daniel 12:2
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

John 5:24
[ Life and Judgment Are Through the Son ] “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

John 6:47
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

It is your choice what you will do with Jesus. But remember once you make YOUR choice Jesus has no choice what He will do with you. He will either welcome you or cast you away.

So get saved from an eternity of torment by believing in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. He paid for your sins and mine. Trust Him today because you might not have a tomorrow. Please do it for your loved ones who don't want to go through eternity without you.
