You have probably heard the expression, “Life is short.” In one sense, it is. No one will live forever in this world. However, in eternity, everyone will consciously exist forever. Do you know what your eternal existence will be like, and, if your answer is yes, upon what are you basing that knowledge? The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man (I Timothy 2:5). If this is true, then it is absolutely crucial that you know Him personally. You will spend eternity in the presence of God. The presence of God through His Mediator will be absolute bliss, blessedness, and joy. (Revelation 21:1-7) The presence of God without His Mediator will be unbearable torment. (Revelation 14:10)

[...] Unless Jesus comes back first, we are all going to “kick the bucket” one day. When you look at the statistics, hopefully you won’t be surprised at the death rate these days: It is “one per person.” One time I met a man who told me he did not want to come to church because, “Me and God have a problem.” That was only true in a sense. But what he really needed to understand is that he might have had a problem with God, but that God does not really have a “problem” with anyone. God is not a man – he’s not a human being like you or more – who sometimes gets into petty squabbles with other human beings. God loves you and wants to save you. Before you kick the bucket, make the decision to stop kicking against the Holy Spirit, and trust Jesus Christ as your Savior. [...]
