WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

Eternity: infinite or unending time, a state to which time has no application; timelessness, endless life after death, period of time that seems very long, especially on account of being tedious or annoying.

As we experience the increasing perilous times which Jesus forecasted in Matthew 24, I believe the next great event for believers will occur sooner than later. That great event is described by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-16, “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.” I personally do not believe this will occur ten or twenty years from now, but instead, I feel it is imminent.

I am excited about meeting Jesus in the air and journeying with Him to heaven where we will be while the tribulation happens on earth, but I am also concerned about the fate of unbelievers who have not come into the full knowledge of Jesus Christ and for those who have heard the gospel but rejected the salvation message. I am concerned about the increasing number of old and young individuals who are committing suicide and being whirled into eternity without being divinely connected.

I believe people are making poor decisions because of a lack of knowledge concerning eternity, kingdom reigning, and life beyond this present world. If people understood that every person who ever lived on this earth would enter into eternity either in bliss or in damnation, I pray they would choose to follow Jesus. I don’t believe most people would prefer to be tormented and in pain with no expiration date.

If you are reading this blog and don’t understand how you live your life now will affect your eternal future, please feel free to reach out to me to assist you with vital information. But for now, if you realize you were headed in the wrong direction and want to change, say this simple prayer, “Jesus, come in and be the Lord of my life. I realize I need you, and I want you to direct me and fill me with your Spirit. Thank you, Lord, for answering my prayer.

God bless you and now connect with fellow believers so that you will grow and learn about God and His son Jesus.
