The world is governed by many laws and principles plus many other things that bind humanity, that at times we can’t change or stop –death is one those feared by many. At least even those that don’t fear to die fear to lose a loved one. But then if we get hold of the goodness of God, all this fear diminishes. We’ve seen even great people die- giving us complete assurance that we also will die some day whether at 100 or 150 years. –Hebrews 9:27 - ‘And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:’The ideal thing should be to think about eternal life that God provides us through His Son Jesus Christ, the fact that we can’t change God’s plan of us dying some day, is not the end. Many people do not believe in God because their minds have been blinded to the reality that they have a spirit that will face God one day, be judged and be sent to hell for eternal condemnation because of their refusal/reluctance to respond positively to the word and the will of God. – Acts 17:31 – ‘Because he has appointed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man(Jesus) whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that He has raised Him from the dead’.
The flesh is temporary but the spirit lives on even after the death of the body – again, I will say -the way you respond to this word is what makes the difference .God is expecting us humans to completely give in to His Word just as we can see in Joshua 1:8 ‘This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein : for then you shall make your way prosperous and then you shall have good success’. God is not interested in lukewarm Christians (believers) - Revelation 3:16 ‘So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, will I vomit you out of my mouth’.
We (humans) are so good at planning for what we’ll eat tomorrow, dress, the better house we want – name them, but we forget/reject to plan for eternal life which we can get only through believing in the Word of God- Jesus Christ(John 1:1-11). If we’d work as hard in the spiritual as we do in other areas say, the sciences – I believe even the gates of hell would swallow fewer people, because as matter of truth – God loves all of us; Bible says it in Mathew 18:14 ‘Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish’.
Even parents; as you equip your children with skills and education to sustain their future – think about doing something that will help your kid fight a good fight and finally secure a place in the heavenly paradise, not that you’ll leave everything else! No, but as you do what ever you do, think out something!!!!!!! John 14:6- ‘Jesus says to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me’. God has not provided any other way by which your kid may reach heaven but by Jesus, does he Know Jesus???!!!
