Are You Ready

Are You Ready

"Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will lift you up."
James 4:10

When I turned on the television this morning there was a report that said that the population of the world this week would exceed "Seven Billion" people. Do you realize that all seven billion of these people are sinners? Each one of these seven billion people have one thing in common, as they will all die, unless Christ comes first to claim His children. Each of these people will spend their eternity in either hell or Heaven. Death is the great equalizer, and does not spare the rich man from the poor man, as it will claim all people. For many of these people, today will be their last day on this earth as their life will end, and their fate will be sealed. They will have no tomorrow to get their life in order, no time to accept the saving grace of Jesus, and all the wealth, money, and material possessions they accumulated will not matter anymore. Yes, death is the great equalizer, and it spares no man. If you were one of these people that death will call on today, do you know where you will spend your eternity? In the few short years you have on this earth, which James calls "a vapor", have you prepared for your eternal home? Have you spent your time laying up treasures that will rust and rot away, or have you been laying up treasures in Heaven? These are serious questions that only you can answer, as no one can help you, and you are on your own. I want to impress upon you the seriousness of this important matter as when you take your last breath, you need to be prepared to meet Jesus, as you will not have another opportunity. I encourage you to think about this, and take a moment right now and ask Jesus into your heart, as you still have time to accept His offer to spend your eternity with Him.
