We don’t know what it
is like to die. It’s a once in a
lifetime experience for us. There are no
do-overs. We will live on, but in a
totally different way than what we have known.
Death is a mystery to us. God
tells us some things to expect, but until we live it we will not know what it
is like. What we do know is that God
knows. He knows everything there is to
know about death, all the glories of heaven and all the goriness of hell.
Every human being who
has ever lived has been warned by God about death and destruction. He has ingrained in the human soul a sense of
right and wrong. He holds each of us
responsible for the knowledge we have been given. God purposely forbade Adam and Eve from
eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge because He knew that man would not be
able to handle the knowledge of good and evil.
He knew that because of man’s nature once he knew what sin was like he
would gravitate towards sin and fall prey to it. God tried to spare them, and us, the horrors
of such knowledge, but obviously they would not listen.
There are no secrets
with God. He knows every thought of the
mind. He knows every intent of the
heart. He knows what moves us to say and
what we do. The Lord knows it all. Do not be deceived by those who would deny
it. Do not be deceived by the
foolishness of thinking that you can hide your thoughts from Him. What controls your mind comes from your heart
and He holds you responsible for what He finds there.
Dear friend, you can
fool people and you can even fool yourself, but you can’t fool God.
