The Last Day
There seems to have been alot of celebrites dying lately. Many that seem to be in the prime of their lives suddenly are no longer with us. Even in my small circle of friends and aquantices several have suddenly dropped dead. Mostly from heart failure of some sort.
The Bible teaches of a day when “men’s hearts will fail them for fear of the things that have suddenly happened.” We live in a time of a great many uncertainties. Our parents had pensions to look forward to to help in their older years. For our generation, that’s a thing of the past. Even those who worked hard all their lives to save for the future find out their investors have pocketed most if not all of it.
Murder and bloodshed was at one time a rare occurance in the US. Now, you hear about it daily. I suppose that after teaching children and young adults the they are animals long enough, they will begin to believe it and act like it.
Whether or not we are living in that hard time when “mens hearts will fail” I can’t say for sure, but I can say that that day IS COMING. All of the prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled. So, each of us has a responsibility to be prepared. The scriptures teach, “it is appointed unto us once to die and then the judgement.”
Each of us has his or her own last day. None of us is able to predict when that day will come. In the judgement we all will face, only those that are saved will be saved. It’s that simple. “Whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved”. Jesus came to save sinners. Only Jesus can forgive our sins and save us. Without His forgiveness, we cannot be saved! God has given mankind only one option for salvation and hope beyond the grave.
You can learn more about this from the Bible itself. Start in the Book of John. Get to know the real Jesus and receive His salvation. Don’t delay!!!
