And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:14-15

 

As we approach the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, we all should humbly pause and reflect on our life and where we stand in relation to God. Once born, our human body is vulnerable to the elements of the world…we continue to age and eventually die. But inside each of us is a soul…a spirit that will spend eternity in either Heaven or Hell. No one knows their appointed time to die, are you ready? If you stood before God today, where would he direct your soul….eternal paradise or eternal damnation?

 

You may not have ever given it much thought, but you should. Your life may seem like a long time to you, but eternity never ends. Your comfort on earth is just a brief vapor compared to eternity. The pleasures of this world will eventually pass away…just as you will. Is a life of “self-pleasure” and “self-will” really worth it in comparison to eternity?

 

Surrendering your life to Christ doesn’t cost you a thing, but the gains are everything. Jesus Christ died for your sins….He paid your sin debt. As we approach Christmas, who do you believe in…..Jesus Christ? Believe that He sacrificed His life for yours on the cross and rose again on the third day. His free gift of forgiveness of sins, provides the open door to eternal life with Him in Heaven. Trust Him today, believe in what He did and ask Him to come into your life and save your soul. Then, live your life dedicated to the One who gave His all for your freedom to live life with the assurance of eternal peace, joy and blessings. God bless!
