Topic:
The Outcome Of Death
On the surface, it seems foolish to address the issue of the outcome
of death. We all know, or at least we think we know, the outcome of
death. We think we know the outcome of death is that we are dead.
However, if we think the outcome of death is death, we are wrong. For
the outcome of death is not death. The outcome of death can be eternal
life in Heaven or eternal life in outer darkness. Specifically, now is
the time when you determine the outcome of your death. After you die, it
will be too late to determine what happens to you. Like many other parts
of life, you hold the keys to your future. You hold the keys to your
future and you determine what will happen to after you die. You
determine in this life where you are going to spend eternity. It is your
responsibility to make a decision about where you want to spend
eternity. You can spend eternity in the outer darkness of hell or you
can spend eternity in the light of God's love in Heaven. When you do not
respond to the love of God, or when you do not respond to the reason God
sent Christ to die for you, not responding is the same thing as turning
your back on Christ. Refusing to let your heart be touched by God in
this life has an eternal consequence. You can shirk your responsibility
connected to your future. However, there are no excuses that will work
with God. God knows all of the excuses. God has heard all of the
excuses. He also knows what you have seen, heard, and experienced. He
knows the pain, problems, and burdens you have carried. Although you may
have excuses or reasons to turn your back on God, God will never turn
His back on you. It is the mature thing and the responsible thing to
love God back as much as He loves you.
