"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanished away.-James 4:14 |
Now this is not a picture I took but it is a bumper sticker I bought from the store. People have laughed at this, saying: "oh thats funny" but my question is why is this so funny?
This sticker sends a very serious message, because if you die not knowing the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior you will go to HELL. Imagine being in anguish for eternity! Who would want to chose that? Going to hell just because you wanted to wait one more second, or have one more good time here on earth, which is just temporal. People go around thinking oh I have plenty of time to get saved but the truth is you can die any second. Do you really want to die "having a good time" and living in a pit of fire for ETERNITY? This is no time to be playing games. You have to make sure you know the Lord Jesus for yourself. Because you do not know when your time is coming and you don't want it to be too late.
The Bible verse attached to this picture is telling us our life is here one second and gone the next. So if we do not know when our time for judgment is to be, shouldn't we live every day of this temporal life growing closer to the Lord? And stop playing around in the world.
If you died right now do you KNOW 100% that you will go to heaven? If you have to hesitate or can not give a definite yes to that question then something needs to change. You have to make a choice, temporal happiness on earth or eternal happiness with the Lord.
