There Is A Choice You Need To Make Today

In the book of Like 16:19 - 25, a story was told of two people that lived here on earth and died. When they opened their eyes to the other side of eternity, both found themselves in different places. The two men were the rich man and Lazarus.The rich man was being tormented in hell - Note that he was not in hell because of his money, but because of how he lived his life on earth. The rich man could also recognize Lazarus in heaven. And Lazarus did not go to heaven because he was poor, but because of the life he had lived on earth.


You need to make a choice today as to where you want to spend your eternity (life after death); with Lazarus in heaven or the rich man in hell? It is your choice. Heaven and hell are real, and the truth is where you go depends on what you are doing now, that is whom you are following in this world.

Note too that is appointed unto man once to die and after death, is judgement. Believers are the ones appointed to preach the message of salvation; not angels. If you refuse to believe them, you are on your own.

Read the conversation between the rich man in hell and Lazarus who was with Abraham in heaven.
"Then he said I beg you therefore, father that you would send him (Lazarus) to my father's house for I have five brothers that he may testify to them lest they also come this place of torment (hell)." Abraham said to him they have Moses and other prophets let them hear them, and he said "No father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead they will repent, but he (Abraham) said to him, "If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one raised from the dead. 
                                                                                                   Luke 16:27 - 31 (NKJV)

Make your choice now, tomorrow may be too late!


Are you saying what can I do? Jesus assures us that there is no one who comes to Him that He will cast away. If you want to choose heaven, you must accept Jesus. Accept Him today, repent of your sins and turn away from them. With this done, you have heaven in view. Romans 8:1 says "There is therefore now no condemnation for them who are in Christ Jesus." If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Accept now into your life by confessing your sins and repenting of them. If you are ready, say this prayer - "Lord Jesus, I come to you; I recognize that I am a sinner. I confess my sins and ask you to come into my life. From today, I will serve you with all my heart."

Thank God you are a part of a glorious kingdom. Look for a Bible-believing church where you will be taught on how to maintain a relationship with God and serve Him.
