It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this judgement (Hebrew 9:27)
Enjoy life as as much as you can: you only live once, that Is the thinking of countless people today. But is death really the end of everything?
In spite of life being anything but rosy, people are afraid of death. Why? Because for all its high sounding phrases science has definitely shown it's limitation by death.
The Bible, the truth of which has never been faulted by any opposition of science speaks clearly and unmistakably about an after life: there is eternal glory of eternal condemnation.
And shall come forth; they that have done good unto resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:29)
You have only one life to live; you can't come back. Beware the way you spend it. That reminds me of a rich and certain bigger named Lazarus in the Bible.
At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
22 “Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.
24 “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’
25 “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’
27 “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. 28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment.’
29 “But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.’
30 “The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’
31 “But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen even if someone rises from the dead.’”. Luke 16:20-31
Be very careful for you have only one life to use don't waste it; come to true repentance today for you don't regret it later (Matt 11:28-30)
Until you are saved, you are not safe.
