Eternity

PASSING the other day through a burial-ground in the country, an inscription on a head-stone struck my eye. The stone was by the side of the path, where everyone could see it; and it was placed there in memory of a youth who died at the age of 17 years. The inscription was—
“Reader, one moment
Stop and think,
That I am in eternity,
And you are on the brink.”
A youth only 17 years of age in eternity! “And you are on the brink!” Yes, though you may be young, apparently healthy, full of life and spirits, you are on the brink of eternity. Where will you be in eternity? Are you reconciled to God by the death of His Son? (Romans 5:1010For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10).)
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).)
