THE above question presents itself to everyone some time during his life. How will you answer it, dear reader? It is either of no consequence, or it is the most serious question you have ever asked yourself.
You can do no better than look into God's word, and see for yourself. At Berea we read of some who searched the scriptures daily "whether those things were so." If you do this prayerfully, asking God to show you the truth, you will, I am sure, have all doubts taken away. God's message to you is that, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." There are no exceptions at all, therefore you must be included. But there is another message to you, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." You cannot escape from the first message, and you are included in the second.
Perhaps you say, What am I to do, then? Read John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life." You have to believe the gospel.
Did you ever think of what everlasting life is? The Lord said in His prayer to the Father, "This is life eternal that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.”
