Some people believe one thing and some believe another concerning life, death and eternity. Some people believe religion has the answers, and some believe science is our hope. Some people believe life just happened and death is the end, and some don’t know what to believe.
Consider man’s relentless search for meaning to life and for relief from his anxieties through sensual experiences and numerous philosophies. Consider the social unrest, uncertainty and utter despair of many people. Then consider the peace, the joy and the eternal hope God gives in His Son—that which man so desperately seeks in every other way.
There are many of us who have been glad to find that God has not left man to wander, wonder and worry. We have read in His Word of His promises and we believed them. We received His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into our hearts by faith and found to our great joy that it is all true and real—the reality of salvation in Christ.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:1212Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)).
God’s salvation is a Person-the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you know Him?
If I gained the world but lost the Savior,
Were my life worth living for a day?
Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort
In the things that soon must pass away?
If I gained the world but lost the Savior,
Would my gain be worth the toil and strife?
Are all earthly treasures worth comparing
With the gift of God, eternal life?
