Another Sunday has just drifted by never, never to returned. Another sermon has been delivered and what is the impact....just a wave of faces with no hints or emotion what so ever. Many Christians would leave the Sunday worship, lock the church door behind them and think that God will stay inside and await their return. Yes we go on with our business as usual until next Sunday. But it is just that.........!I thank God
that He is not locked behind church doors but interested in even the small details of our life.
"The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them,the sins of others trail behind them" 1 Timothy 5:25.
I believe Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live forever for those who believes and trust Him through faith. Now there are good things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only to seventy years, but which I better bother about seriously if I am going to live forever.
Perhaps my bad temper or my jealously are actually getting worse, so gradually that the increase over these years is not noticeable. But it might be absolute hell in a million years. In fact, hell is precisely the correct technical term for what it would be. Let us be sure that there is something inside us which unless altered, will put it out of God's power to prevent us being eternally miserable. While that something remains,there can be no heaven for us, just as there can be no sweet smell for a man with a cold, and no music for a man who is deaf. It is merely a question of God sending us to hell. In each of us there is something growing up which of itself be hell unless it is nipped in the bud.
The matter is serious. Let us put ourselves in His hands at once. Eternity is serious business. Misery awaits those without Christ. With Christ, heaven and hope lie just beyond, Which eternity awaits you?
