Will YOU Be......
Before Christ came to the earth, eternal life was granted
by a simple task of shedding animals blood to represent what was to come(Jesus). However, despite the simplicity, most people
denied God in those days.
Years later, God came to the earth in human form and was named
Jesus. He was destined to shed his blood on the cross. Jesus' death gave people an even simpler task--accept Him
into their hearts and eternal life would follow. But again most people denied God/Jesus and chose eternal damnation.
Now, the last days, God's free gift is still being offered
to anyone that asks. But with Judgment sooner then it has been in the past, today is the time to repent and follow the
Lord. However, as time ticks away, most people are on the highway to Hell and few are walking up the stairway to Heaven.
"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep,
or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God
will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still
alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord
himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these
words."
-1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
"Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." -1
Corinthians 15:51,52
