Today I am thinking about the end purpose of my natural life. Natural life, what is that? Does this mean that there is another life different from the one we know as natural life? The answer is yes, there is, it is called spiritual life. Some call it life in the grave. Life continues after that a person has left his physical body.
It is a great deception from the pit of destruction to advocate that the spirit of man evaporates or that it becomes oxygen and is breathed by those who continue living. That type of thinking and advocacy does not have scientific or moral logical proof.
The Creator of the heavens and the earth says that He has caused his wisdom to sound like foolishness to those who are perishing.
I, therefore, have an eternal choice to make for myself, that choice is, "acknowledge that the One greater and mighty exist who is able to plot into fixed positions and circuits the galaxies; or deny that He does and then deceive myself and say that these galaxies are the result of a big Bang." This choice has consequences and repercussions; consequences in that it affects and determines my eternal destination after this earthly life. Heaven, Paradise or hell fire and subsequently, the lake of fire. Repercussions because this choice influences how I spend the rest of my life here on earth.
How do I fare thus far? Am I heavenly bound or am I plunging headlong into hell-fire?
The choice for me is simple, "Acknowledge God exist and his great work wrought for me through His Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth or diplomatically decline it." The choice is mine. I faced this difficult choice once in my life and by grace and not of my own wisdom, I made the right choice. My soul is in peace, I do not fear death anymore. For me now to live is Christ and to die is gain. One of my forerunner in the faith, while being stoned to death by those who hated his teachings, saw heaven opened up and the Son of Man standing at the door. He told his murderers what he was seeing and they were incensed even the more and some closed their ears because they did not want to hear what he was saying. Sadly, he asked the Son of Man standing at the pearly gates to forgive them for their murderous evil deed and he gave up the ghost. My last moments here on earth, how will they be like? As a man thinketh, so is he. I desire that the Son of Man who stood at the doors of heaven when men on earth stoned Stephen, should say to me these words: "well done good and faithful servant enter into the rest I have prepared for you."
In the meanwhile, I am fearfully and patiently running the race set before me, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. He is the Righteous judge who is soon to come. The I AM that I AM!
