The Bible is clear: there will come a day when each person stands before God and is either welcomed into Heaven or condemned to eternal separation. A minister once said if he lived for Jesus and was wrong, he’d wasted his life; but if he lived for self and was wrong, he’d squandered his eternity. By not accepting Jesus, we are making the choice to reject Him. One day we will each release our last earthly breath and our soul will wing to the Judge. Will we hear, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” or “Depart, for I do not know you”?
