“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
It is a very serious thought that after death there will be judgment. Some people today would like to believe that after death, there is nothing. They would like to believe that men and women die like animals, and that they do not live forever. But the Word of God tells us clearly that we are made for eternity, and not just for time. We will live forever in one of two places — either heaven or hell.
In our verse for today, we are reminded of the judgment that follows death, for some of the Jewish people at that time had identified themselves with Christianity just as an outward thing, without a real relationship with the Lord Jesus. They were not truly saved, and needed to be reminded of how serious the judgment would be. Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior?
