Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men.

Psalm 26.9

Do not be deceived by the things of the world, because they are not eternal. If you know that, is it worth to work hard to acquire nice things, since they will come to an end? What is really important is to live in the presence of God, but very few people realize that. Life is so short that each minute must be lived in the presence of the Lord. When all of this is over, what are you going to do? If you have rejected God’s advice your entire life, what will happen to you when your soul is gathered?

The question is simple, but deep: on whose side will you spend eternity? He who does not have time to think about this now will have a lot of time to regret, since the place where he is going (and he will not get out of there), he will regret his actions every second. Those who remain in rebellion against God will suffer, since they will be separated from eternal bliss; to make things worse, there will not be a second chance. Those who refuse to listen to the eternal call will be forever doomed.

The only reason you can give for rejecting the plan of salvation is that you do not fear the Lord. Why would anyone in his right mind continue to sin, if this will separate him forever from good and lead to eternal suffering? Mark these words: if you do not love God, you will not be loved by him on the great day. Those who do what the devil wants will go to hell, the place of eternal suffering.

Be wise, be reasonable and think: on whose side will you be in eternity? Is it worth enjoying the pleasure from sin and because of that being condemned to eternal damnation? Would it not be better to surrender yourself to the good Pastor? Why not serving the Lord Jesus and doing his will, if he is good and wants the best for you? Why not honor he who will honor you back? Make a decision today and God will change your fate.

Give yourself a glorious future, and your soul will be gathered with those who served the Almighty God. Make a decision today, because it will change your eternal destination. Why should your soul be gathered with losers, those who chose error over God’s righteousness, if you can go to heaven and live with Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Paul, and, most importantly, with Christ? 

Do not fool yourself: sooner or later your soul will be gathered and your decision will determine your fate. At this moment, use your tongue and write your own fate with the feather of a right-handed writer. With Jesus, you will have an amazing future.

In Christ, with love,
