Today will not be a specific teaching on Godly principles and promises, but I am feeling led to remind many of you of the most important principle of all. Someone reading this blog today has not quite made a stand. Is it you? 

"I have time. Nothing's going to happen to me for a long time."

Tell that to the 6 adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT on 12/14/2012. They never saw it coming.

"That's not going to happen to me," you say. I'll bet they thought that way, too.

Meaning no disrespect to these 6 people, and many more like them whose lives have been taken away from them, unexpectedly. The point is, you never know when your time will come to leave this life.

Hebrews 9:27 tells us: And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment,

Dear friend, take warning. If you are not certain where your soul is destined once you die, it's time to get right with God. Once you die, there are no second chances. If you have not accepted Christ as your Savior, you will still be dealt with, whether you believe it, or not. As God gives us the choice while we live to accept Him, or not, the rules of eternity must still follow through, whether we accept it, or not.

God is a most loving and merciful God. He gives you plenty of opportunity to accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Savior. You must believe in Him, admit you are a sinner and sincerely ask forgiveness of your sins, accept God's forgiveness and accept His Holy Spirit into your heart. This MUST be done BEFORE you die. Once you die, the opportunity is gone and it's time to face the final judgement of heaven or hell. Your family and friends cannot "pray" you into heaven. As it was your choice, alone, to accept Christ as your Savior, the judgement is yours, alone.

Will Christ stand beside you on your judgement day and say to God, this one is innocent? Are you washed in Jesus's blood? Will God's hammer of justice bang as He sentences you to life in heaven? Or were you stubborn too long and God's final judgement for you must be eternal life in the fiery pit of hell?

God gives you a free choice. Please take a moment to truly consider your life. Take your final step now and accept Christ into your heart before it's too late.

In Christ's Service,
