Your Greatest Need

Do you know for an absolute fact where you will end up if you die today?

There is no escaping death. You might have witnessed it at a burial service for someone else, but you know what? Death is going to come for you one day. What are you going to do about it?

The problem we call “death” is explained in the Bible. Romans Chapter 5 verse 12 (Romans 5:12) tells us that through Adam's sin, humans started dying because “all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard.” (Romans 3:23). Guess what? The price or the wages for sin is death (Romans 6: 23). In other words, the sin in you demands your death whether you like it or not. And it gets worse.

You see, when we die, our spirit moves on to its eternal resting place. Whether that place is with God in Heaven eternally or in absolute separation from God in Hell eternally depends on the choices you make while you are still alive here on planet Earth.

The entry to Heaven is issued on this side of the border. Once you die without it and cross over, there is no option to get it. You are truly dead then.

There is a solution. His name is Jesus. Bible tells us in John 3:16 that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.
