One hundred years from now, will it really matter where you lived: in a "showplace" house or a rented room? Will anyone care whether you drove a Rolls Royce or rode the city bus? Will it matter what you wore: designer originals or "thrift shop specials"? Or what you ate: gourmet cuisine or a can of beans?
NO, IT WON'T!
But, one hundred years from now, will it matter what you believed?
YES, IT WILL!
One hundred years from now―one hundred years away from this life we know on earth―one hundred years into eternity―NOTHING will matter but the answer you made to the question: "What do you think of Christ?"
If your answer was, "He is the Christ, the Son of God, He is My Savior, I believe in Him," you will be with Christ, in the presence of the One who so loved you, in the midst of "joy unspeakable and full of glory."
But if you said, "I don't believe in Him," where will you be? "If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:2424I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (John 8:24).
There are only two destinies and the choice must be made now. Which will it be?
Out of Christ
or
In Christ?
An unsaved person is one who is in his sins, in Adam, in the world, out of Christ. He is on the road that leads to the lake of fire, ready for it and deserving it.
A saved person is one who is not in his sins, but out of Adam, out of the world, in Christ. He is on the road to Christ, and made fit for Him, though utterly undeserving of it.
In which condition are YOU?
