What a Difference!

From: Messages of God's Love: 1919

ALL that a man hath will he give for his life.” Job 2:4⁴And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. (Job 2:4). “A kingdom for a moment of time,” exclaimed a dying queen.

A young girl in a hospital said to a lady visitor,

“I believe I am getting better; and do you know, I can’t help feeling disappointed.”

What made the difference between these two? The one had no hope beyond this world; the other had life eternal, and a happy home in heaven.

The young girl had trusted in the Lord Jesus as her Saviour, rejoiced in His love, and was longing to go to be with Him. The queen had gone on without Him and at the end of her life here, all was dark. And well it might be, for nothing but judgment and an eternity in hell awaited her.

Dear children, which will it be with you? An eternity with the Lord; or an eternity in everlasting punishment?

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15¹⁵And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15).

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not ‘see life; but the Wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36³⁶He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36).
