There are so many
whose only goal in life is to gain as much of the world as they possibly
can. They buy into the lie that the more
you get out of the world, the happier you will be. They become convinced that this life is all
the life there is and so it only makes sense to go for it. Fame and fortune become their necessities in
life. Live for today and don’t worry
about tomorrow becomes how they live.
Death is not a concept that is taken seriously as far as how it affects
how they live.
Then, when their
dreams are not realized, they have nothing else to live for. Life becomes a pain instead of a joy. Negativity rules the soul. Anger is not unusual. Defiance is common. For those whose only life is wrapped up in
the world, they are disappointed and disillusioned. It may come early or late in life, but it
does come.
Yet, everyone must
somehow come to grip with their soul. No
matter how much one may try to bury it, no one can go through life without
dealing with it. What happens after
death? Can it be true that there is
eternal life? If so, where do I fit into
it? Will I go to heaven when I die? Is there any criteria I have to meet in order
to get there? If I don’t make it to
heaven, then what? Is there really a
hell that awaits me? Really, is gaining
all I can from this life worth the risk of losing my soul? What if there is a heaven and hell?
Whether we want to or
not, we must think about these things.
Waiting until you die to find out if it is all true or not is not a good
idea. If it is all true, which I know it
is, then if you have not lived so that you are ready to die, you will go to
hell. Life is not about gaining what the
world has to offer; it’s about living in Christ so that when you die you will
go to heaven and not hell.
Are you willing to
take a chance on missing out on heaven?
Are the world’s offerings worth it?
