By John Stenen Whenever I read the obituaries in the newspapers, my thought is always, “I sure hope they were born-again Christians.” To die physically without Christ will be the most horrible future you can imagine; to step into eternity and be spiritually dead with no possibility of ever getting another chance to repent, will be worse than the worst things you could ever imagine. You will not simply vanish when you die, and cease to exist, as many believe, -for once we are born into this life, we will never cease to exist. Also, there is no place where you will go to be further purified and then go into heaven. It is here in this life, if you are a Christian, that we are purified and totally washed clean by the blood of Christ; read what the apostle Peter said in Acts 15:79. When we, by faith, receive Christ and commit our lives to Him, our sins are totally forgiven. The question is, “Where will I spend eternity?” The Bible tells us there are only two places, heaven or hell, (the lake of fire)”: Revelations 20:15. Many spend their lives chasing the almighty dollar, but I never read on their obituary how much money they earned, what is written, is what kind of person they were, and how much good they did for humanity. “Only one life, twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” God bless.
