I’M GONNA LIVE FOREVER, I’M GONNA DIE NO NEVER!

One of the benefits of salvation is eternal life. The alternative is eternal death.

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. Psalm 37:18

Friends are dying, family members are dying, former co-workers are dying, actors and actresses we grew up with are dying, teachers who taught us to read and write are dying, there is death all around us. But one thing I know is true; those that received Jesus as Saviour will only experience the shadow of this physical death, there soul will live on through eternity! Those that have rejected the Lord will taste a horrible second death. That’s the death that will separate them eternally from anything that is remotely good; friends, family, and God Himself.

You want to live forever? You want to have life and have it more abundant? Trust Jesus as your Saviour! Take that step of faith; repent of your sins, confess Him as Lord, and believe He has washed your sins away and walk in the new life only He can give!

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

ETERNALLY SECURE

Look at what He is, and what He has done; not at what you are. -D.L. Moody

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:11-12

If my salvation is based on my good works and I can lose it, then it takes away from what scripture says, “He obtained eternal redemption.” My salvation isn’t based on me but Jesus and His finished work on the Cross. My salvation is complete! It is complete in Him, for Him, and by Him. If it’s based on me, a sinner saved by His grace, then I could lose it for I am not capable of keeping myself from the “least” of sins. Oh what a Saviour is mine that He would redeem a worm such as I. Wicked and vile no more, but redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb!
