Are you Ready For Eternity?
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3
The question only you can answer: Will you put your faith in Jesus?
Only you can answer that question. Your answer is the most important answer you will ever give. This is not about being religious. It is about a relationship. You need to establish your relationship with God by putting your faith in Jesus ... by believing in Him. Being religious is not enough. You may love God, pray to Him, go to His house, and give gifts of your time and money to Him. All of that is good. But it is not enough. Before I married my wife, I loved her very much. I talked to her almost every day. I went to her house often. I read her letters. And I gave gifts to her. However, none of those things made me married. I was not married until I made my covenant with her. I had believed about her ... but that was not enough. On our wedding day, I took a step of faith when I said, “I do”. I was not married until that moment. That day I changed from believing about her to believing in her. It is like that in your relationship with God. You are not in a true relationship with God until you make your covenant with Him ... until you say, “I do” to Him by believing in Jesus. Have you put your faith in Jesus? You need to be sure about this. If that step of faith is missing or might be missing in your life, today would be a good day for you to say, “I do” to Him. You need to settle this once and for all of eternity.
The choice is yours. Will you put your faith in Jesus right now? Will you take that step of faith by believing in Him? No one can take that step for you. If you are ready to believe in Jesus, it is easy to do. God loves you. However, your sin separates you from Him. He is perfect and you are imperfect. The wrong things that you have done keep you from Him. Your problem is separation from God. The good news is that God has done something about that separation. He loves you and sent Jesus to solve the problem. Jesus, being God, died on the cross to pay for your sins. That is God’s part of the solution. Your part of the solution requires a step of faith ... a decisive believing in Jesus. At the moment you believe in Jesus, you become God’s child ... your sins are forgiven … and you are given the gift of eternal life. The question you need to answer is, Will you put your faith in Jesus right now? Only you can answer this question. The choice is yours.
