The most precious thing you have is your life. If you had millions of dollars, and your life was in danger, you would give it all to save your life. But this life is so full of disappointment, loss, pain and grief. What would a life be which was full of joy and peace, a life in which there was rest of soul, a life which death could not end?
You are afraid of death because you know you must meet God. You know that after death is the judgment. God Himself warns you of the judgment which your sins will bring on you, and it is God Himself who tells you of everlasting life.
This life must soon end. It may not last another day; this day may be the last day of your life. What would you give for a life that never ends? A life over which death has no power? EVERLASTING LIFE!
You can have this life and have it now. God offers it to you: He offers you forgiveness, salvation, deliverance from sin, power to do His will.
How?
It is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the One who died for you, the One who bore your sins on the cross, in whom you have to believe. He has proved His love by dying for you; He now offers you everlasting life.
He offers life freely to you. You have nothing to pay for it, not a thing. No matter how rich you are, no matter how much you may possess, you have nothing to give to Him for that life. It is - it must be - a free gift. The only question is, will you receive it now? V
