I
Give To Them
Eternal Life
Scripture
Observation
Eternal
Life – How can you have it?
If
you go to a funeral, just about any funeral and listen to what people share
about their departed loved one you would think that all you have to do to go to
Heaven is to die.
Going
to Heaven is easy, but it is not that easy.
You
see not everybody is going to Heaven when they die.
Don’t
get the wrong idea either. It is not good people that go to Heaven and bad
people that go to Hell. Only the people that have received the “Gift” of
Eternal Life are going to Heaven. Have you received God’s gift?
Lets
back up for a second and start with this fact. You and I are sinners and our
sins have separated us from God. (Romans 3:23) And God says that what we
deserve because we are sinners is death – physical death and spiritual death.
(Romans 6:23) And God says that after death comes judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)
Now
if you and I want to avoid death, judgment, and Hell we need to receive God’s
gift of Eternal Life by putting our faith and trust in Jesus Christ and in what
Christ did for us on the cross. He died for you and for me on the cross. He
laid down His life on that cross as a Gift.
Okay
at your funeral and at my funeral they may talk about us being in Heaven with
all of our loved ones, but is that where we will be? Our final destination,
Heaven or Hell, depends on whether we have received the Gift of Eternal Life or
not.
I
was nineteen years old when someone shared this Good News with me. I prayed and
I asked Jesus Christ to come into my life as my Lord and my Savior.
I
am sixty-five years old and I can tell you for certain that the moment I die I
will be with Jesus Christ.
Not
because I am a good person, not because I do good things, not because I do more
good things than bad things, oh no, I am going to be in Heaven because I have
received Jesus Christ,
I
have received the Gift of Eternal Life. How about you? Have you received the
Gift of Eternal Life? Have you received forgiveness of your sins?
Why
not pray and Jesus Christ to come into your life right now. I want to see you
when I get to Heaven and you are not going to be there if you have not received
God’s gift of Eternal Life.
Application
I
am praying for those close to me that God gives them spiritual understanding
and they will put their trust totally in Jesus for their salvation. How about
you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that You are the only One that saves. I pray for those I love. I
pray that You open up their spiritual eyes so that they can understand the
message of salvation. Don’t let them trust in doing good things or being good
to get them to Heaven. Show them that the only way to be saved is through Your
Son Jesus Christ. Thank You for working in their lives. Thank You for
transforming lives one at a time. Nothing is too hard for You.
