Are You Prepared For The Judgement Day?
Did you know that,
“…it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so
Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many…” (Hebrew 9:27:28a)
And did you know that if you have not been willing to turn away from
your sins (repent), or put your faith in Jesus Christ and confess Him
before others, then you will not make it to heaven.
Mark 16:9 teaches us that, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
The final judgement will come when we stand before God and He asks,
“Why should I let you in?” On our own, we cannot pass through into
heaven.
Scripture tells us that, “There is no one righteous, not
even one…” (Ro 3:10) And that, “All of us have become like one who is
unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel
up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” (Isaiah
64:6)
All our creative attempts to earn eternal life will fall far short.
We need Jesus!
1 John 1:8, 9 tells us, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness.
Solomon wisely wrote, “There is a time for
everything.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) And with that in mind my friend, may I
encourage you to realize that now is the time to ask for God’s mercy. We
are still living in a day where your request can receive mercy and
forgiveness. The time is coming, however, when each one of us will come
before the Judge. And on that day, those without the righteousness of
Christ to cover them will no longer have the opportunity to accept Jesus
and receive mercy.
