One life to live….
One life to live…
There is a popular belief today in the concept of reincarnation. That belief being that after one dies, one returns back to this world again and again in some different form of life and that form depending on whether you lived a ‘good’ life or not.
The Bible clearly and succinctly teaches that reincarnation is not true. The life we live now is the only one we will ever live. That once we die, we go into eternity either to Heaven, to be with God, or to hell to be separated from God forever.
The Bible puts it this way – Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment – Hebrews 9:27.
The question then is where will you go when you die?
Many people do not like to talk about death at all and many live in absolute fear of it. Jesus Christ came to set us free from the fear of death and to establish again with us the relationship that was broken by Adam and Eve with God in the Garden of Eden.
The truth of the matter is everyone will eventually die – that’s the fact!
Christ came to bring life, eternal life. Life, that once our earthly body has breathed its final breath, our spirit goes to be with the Lord and He then gives us a new body – one fit to live eternally in Heaven with Him.
But if we reject what Christ has done for us, if we reject His offer of forgiveness, our death will begin for us a life alone, just with ourselves, the absence of light and the absence of love – in other words separated from God forever.
That is why the Bible says, Today is the day of salvation.
We have one life to live, choose now to follow Christ and receive the blessing of life eternal in the presence of God – its called Heaven!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
