ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE?
By
Pastor Donald S. Fortner
Does
that question shock you? I know you would prefer not to think about your death
right now. But death is the one inevitable fact of life. Long before you were born, God appointed the hour of your death (Job
7:1; 14:14; Heb. 9:27). You will not live beyond your appointed time. It may
come suddenly, without warning. It may follow a time of long illness. But at
your appointed time you will die.
“After death the judgment!” Yes, you and I must live forever,
either in the bliss of heaven’s eternal glory in the presence of God, or in the
endless torments of hell under the wrath of God. Not only does the Bible teach
these things, but your own conscience bears witness to them.
Who will go to heaven? Only those who are perfect, holy, and
without sin before God (Psa. 24:3-4). The only way sinners like you and me can
be made worthy of heaven’s glory is through the merits of Christ’s blood and
righteousness being imputed to us by the grace of God (Rom. 5:19; Col. 1:12;
2:9-10). Believe on the Son of God and you have eternal life. If you refuse to
trust Christ, you shall perish forever under the wrath of God. God help you to
trust his dear Son.
