A Christian is
by definition: One who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal
Savior. One that has confessed and repents of their sins, One that has
turned over their life to Jesus. One that lets Jesus guide them
through the events of their daily lives. One that knows that there is a
Heaven and there is Eternal Life with Jesus as their King.
We
lost a young member of our greater family a while back. It has been
interesting to note how each of the family members dealt with the
tragedy. Those that I believe are truly Christians were able to accept
it with a peace that seems to surpass understanding. Even though they
will miss our departed family member, they all seemed to understand
that death is as much a part of life as birth. They seem to
intuitively know that a person's time on earth, whether they live one
day or 100 years, is merely a nanosecond with respect to the duration
of time associated with eternity.. On the other hand, those that I do
not believe know the Lord Jesus at this point in their lives don't
possess this understanding about life. They are distraught lost and
afraid. They don't understand the larger picture. They question why it
happened and begin to ponder and fear their own eventual death.
If
you are not a Christian and you have shared the kind of feelings my
non Christian relatives are feeling as I write, Consider the Fact that
Jesus is real He is Alive and He is coming again to rule the earth and
his people. His people are not all of the people that have lived on
the earth through history, they are actually only those that have
accepted him as their Savior and have given themselves to him and his
service for all eternity.
What's in it for me?
Peace,
lack of fear of the unknown, and confidence that His Word is the
Truth and the Light and I will Serve God through my Lord Jesus Christ
for all eternity.
Bottom line, it takes away the worry so prevalent in this world.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior Today, It will change your outlook and life forever.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
