E T E R N I T Y !

Just heard a great message preached tonight by Evangelist Gary Gillmore, on Luke 12:16-21. The man in this parable worshipped himself. Count the number of times the words "I" and "my" are used! But, he left a critically important word out of his life:

ETERNITY

O Fool! To live for time,
and not for eternity! Jesus lived for eternity, and it was for the joy set before him that allowed him to endure the cross, despising the shame...that he might bring many sons to glory, in eternity.

We must live for eternity now, in this life, (not when we are in eternity - that'll be too late) if we are to be prepared for eternity. Thank God through Jesus Christ, that because of him alone, I will be with him in eternity. God has promised, and I have complete confidence in his word. And keeping this word in mind - ETERNITY - will help me make choices in my daily life that will count for eternity.

Do you have that confidence? If today were your last day to live, if you stepped into eternity tomorrow, would you be ready? Are all your sins washed away in the blood of the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ? If not, friend, you are not ready, for God will not overlook your sins. Because God is good, he cannot overlook your sins, and Hell will be your eternal destiny.

Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures...he was buried, and was raised again from that grave three days later (see 1 Cor. 15:1-4). God now commands all to repent (change your mind, agree with God, and turn to God), trusting that Jesus died on that cross for your sins. All who repent & believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will receive the gift of eternal life. That is salvation,  my friend, and that is how you can begin to live for eternity....
