What would you do if you knew you were going to die today? Have you ever thought about that? Are there things you would try to set straight if you knew that today would be your last day to live?In the Bible in the book of Hebrews, chapter 9;27 it says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgement". Now this means that death is comming to everyone and as none of us know when it is imperitive that we be prepared..Isaiah the prophet told a king who believed he was dying in Isaiah 38;1 ;"Set your house in order". How may we do this and be prepared when death finds us?
Now the first thing I suggest is that we make sure all of our decions bring honor to God. Paul said in I Corinthians 10;31 "Wheather therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God".Our lives would be livable if God was obeyed in all the decisions we make.
Now let me suggest that we make sure all bitterness is gone from our hearts and lives. The evidence of our being forgiven is if we can forgive.. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15 "For if ye forgive men their traspasses your Heavenly Father will also Forgive you,but if ye forgeve not men their traspasses neitherwill your Father forgive your traspasses".How can we say we have been forgiven if we cannot forgive others that have sinned against us? jesus said we can not.
Finally, keep the Cross of Christ Jesus in view to guide you. BY putting your Faith and Trust in him For your Salvation. That way you can be as Paul said in I Cor:: !%:55-57 :"O death where is thy sting; thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ'" Thanks and God bless you. |
