I saw a post by someone yesterday that I enjoyed and have pondered: If you knew Christ were coming tomorrow, would that show in how you are living today?
We do not know when Christ shall come again, nor do we know how long our lives shall last. But He could come tomorrow, or any of us could die tomorrow, life is not guaranteed. And at the end of this life, we all will stand before Christ, to whom judgement as been given (2 Corinthians, 5:10-11) and we will have to account for our lives. If we know Christ as our Savior, we will be admitted into eternal life as an adopted child of God; if we know not Christ, we will be cast from Him and eternity will be spent in Hell. (Luke 16:22-28)
There is only one way to the Father God, and that is through Christ the Son. (John 14:16) We cannot earn our way to Heaven, for our deeds are never enough. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Nor can we have a faith in name only life, where we claim to belong to Christ, perhaps attend Church and "speak the language" but decline to live our faith actively. (Read the Goats and Sheep parable in Matthew Chapter 25) If we do not have a living relationship with Christ, that shows itself through the actions in our lives, we will not be saved in the life hereafter.
Friends, we can make no greater decision in this life than what we believe in regards to God, Christ and eternity.
If you died tomorrow, what would happen to you?
If Christ came tomorrow, would He know you or turn you away?
Does your life show that you belong to Jesus? Do your words echo His? Do your actions show His love? Are you marked as His own?
If you do not know Jesus, or you are not sure of where you faith is, please message me and we'll talk. This is too important to "leave until later" or chance that "God will think I'm good enough." No one is good enough on their own (Romans 3:10), we must all be clothed with Christ's righteousness.
Are you sure of where you stand?
