Your Destiny Depends On ...

... your relationship with Jesus Christ!

His death on the cross is recorded in the Bible. At His death, a Roman soldier said, "Truly this was the Son of God" (Matthew 27:54 NKJV)

But the world did not accept Jesus. They liked His miracles, but they hated what He was: the Light, the Truth, and the living expression of God Himself (John 1:1 - 14).

First secretly, then openly they declared, "Away with Him! Crucify Him" (John 19:15). Wrapped in darkness and warped by sin, me plotted to kill the Son of God - to put out the Light, to silence the Truth.

But in death, Christ was more victorious than ever, because He paid the penalty for our sins: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). The darkness could not overcome the Light! Unbelief could overcome the Truth!

Rejecting Christ brings eternal death; receiving Christ brings eternal life: "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him" (John 3:36; also 1:11 - 12).

Your eternal destiny depends on how you respond to Christ. Will you receive Him or reject Him?
