We all spend most of our day practicing some sort of FAITH even when we are not intentionally thinking about it.
Perhaps the most important FAITH question is this:
Do you have FAITH and believe that when you pass from this earthly existence that you will truly be in a better place called Heaven?
If you have never fully answered that question then it is time you considered the reality of your eminent death and the reality of your final destination for eternity. It is as real as all the other things that you believe and have FAITH in, but it has far more critical ramifications.
Eternity is FOREVER! So it goes without saying that it is a long time! As Zig Ziglar said " You're going to be dead alot longer than your are going to be alive!"
If you say, Well I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. Then you are essentially placing an eternal bet with your own soul, with a 50% chance of being incorrect.
How many of us would like to hear those odds when the doctor talks about surgery. 50% means that 1 out of every 2 people who have this surgery don't survive. Is Eternity really worth the gamble? REALLY?
Jesus Christ is the answer to your eternal destiny. Check Him out. Many of us spend more time deciding what we want to eat than deciding where we will spend FOREVER!
Read the Bible. Pray. Grow in the knowledge of God. Worship with His people. You have the choice...check it out.
Choose today - where you will be spending ETERNITY!
