Occasionally, I hear people mentioning the end times.\u00a0 They search scriptures, read books searching for signs.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to\u00a0observe the signs, as a matter of fact, the bible instructs us to do so.\u00a0 However, we shouldn\u2019t become preoccupied with the end times to the point that we forget that the end of our life may occur first.<\/p>\n
As Christians, we have to remember that we\u2019re only passing through this life and that Earth, in no way, is our home.\u00a0 Instead, we should focus on doing God\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My old Pastor used to always end his sermons saying, \u201cIt\u2019s only what you do for Christ that will last.\u201d\u00a0 We are here to do Gods work, not to greedily chase riches.\u00a0 What good is $1 billion to a dead man?\u00a0 Even worst, what profit is for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?<\/p>\n
Non-Christians believe that Earth is our final estate and it is evident in their actions.\u00a0 They lie, steal, kill, cheat, and blaspeme the name of our Lord, with no fear at all.\u00a0 Many, don\u2019t even believe in our God, but would rather worship man-made gods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t really matter when the world is going to end if your death precedes the end of the world.\u00a0 I hear a lot of people professing that they\u2019re not afraid to die.\u00a0 Some of these people may be telling the truth.\u00a0 Let me ask you this, would you be eager to step into eternity knowing that you are not in good standings with God?\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the robber held you up at gun point, would you think to yourself, \u201cI have fought the fight, I have finished my course, now it\u2019s time to rest\u201d or would you enter a moment of uncertainty that causes you to freeze up?\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about a moment where you doubt your own salvation because you know that you\u2019ve been serving the flesh-that you\u2019ve been pushing Satan\u2019s agenda instead of God\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What if you were in a situation where an oppressor was beheading everyone who professed their faith in God?\u00a0 Would you know deep down in your heart that your soul is going to a better place or would you succumb to their demands due to to uncertainty?<\/p>\n
Brothers and Sisters, we are living in a time where we have to be more focused than ever.\u00a0 We have to renew our minds daily,\u00a0 be consistent in prayer, and earnestly try to keep God\u2019s commandments.\u00a0 We were all appointed a day of birth and day of death.\u00a0 Don\u2019t find yourself at the end of the road only to realize that you\u2019ve been traveling down the wrong road.\u00a0 Make\u00a0 a decision today to travel down \u201cBroad Way\u201d road, so that when this world or your life\u00a0 is over, which ever one comes first, you\u2019ll be prepared to meet our father.<\/p>\n
