(9-5-22) Dear Child, make your life about Eternity. Because when you die, the life you chose to live will determine your destination. You can work to be good, plan to live righteous, resist acting on the evil desires of your heart, and even give yourself in charitable service to others. However, none of this striving, no matter how well intentioned, can get you a ticket into Heaven. To get this ticket without accepting Jesus Christ’s sacrifice is impossible. You would have to keep every single LAW given by God to Moses and NO MAN is able to do that.
Because of the magnitude of God’s Love for mankind, He provided the ultimate sacrifice in His son, Jesus, to pay in full the debt for each man’s sins. This was the ONLY WAY man could ever be pure enough to share God’s Home in Heaven.
With his commitment freely given, man may be reconciled, forgiven, and washed clean of ALL his sins. Whereby, having asked Jesus to COME and TAKE OVER his sorry sinful life, man receives the FREE GIFT of SALVATION—-LIFE forever in the PRESENCE of his Creator, Almighty God and son Jesus Christ.
Now the Holy Spirit will immediately take up residence in his heart and begin to enlighten his mind to the Wisdom of God, to the Love of God, to the Joy and Peace of God, and to the dynamic Assurance of his SALVATION; Eternal Life secured upon death from this earth.
“Absent from the body, Present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:6)
Don’t be a fool and ignore His invitation!
