Here are five things to think about and at the end, three actions you need to take today.
1. Life is Short: The older we get, the more we realize that life passes in a flash. Time is something we never get back and in our youth we waste it, but as we get old, we find there is never quite enough.
2. Eternity is long: The time we spend here on earth is as a vapor in the wind compared to eternity. It would be wise to get prepared now for where we are going to spend most of our days. It is not likely for you to spend time decorating a hotel room knowing you are only going to be there one night and you will be home very soon. Just the same, to worry about the little things in this life where you are only staying for a short time is not productive.
3. Sin is real: Whether you believe it or not, sin is real. Your life is being monitored and every thought move and action is being logged like an episode of Big Brother. You will be held accountable for your life here on earth. It is a sorting system and only the few will prevail.
4. Death is certain: The only thing that I can predict is that everyone who was born will at some point die. You don’t know the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds you have been given to work your way through the sorting system this world provides. It may be 16 years and over in a car crash or you may live to 93 and die peacefully in your bed. Nobody knows the days or the hour that it will all come to an end.
5. Heaven can be yours: You have a choice. You can spend your days in Heaven with a God that has made a place for you with treasures unimaginable, or you can go to that other place where your thirst will never be quenched and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
A: God’s will is for you to be saved. He wants you to be prosperous and live an abundant lifestyle, but more than anything, He wants you to get the message and live according to His will. If you are not living righteously then you may not get God’s blessings of abundance and wealth. The important thing is to get the message of being born again and knowing your salvation has been purchased through God’s grace by the price of His Son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins.
B: Identify with a church: The church is the bride of Christ and will never be destroyed by the evil one. This is where God’s people come together and worship their Creator. You are commanded to be a part of His family through the church and spend your time with other believers and serve one another as brothers and sisters in love.
C. Be Spiritually Baptized: Wash away the dirt of sin and be cleaned by the power of the Holy Spirit and enter into a new life where you invite Jesus into your heart where He will be forever to guide you through this life and lead you down the path of salvation. He will give you the wisdom and understanding to make the right choices and follow the will of God which is to spread the Good News of the Gospel.
I hope you enjoyed my attempt at being a preacher for the day. It is about spreading the Good News and if you were able to take one thing from this that will put you on the right path to follow Christ, then it accomplished its purpose.
