For Sunday, August 20, 2023:
Romans 5:21 NLT: “So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
That was then, but this is now. In the past, mankind’s sin resulted in eternal separation from God. But now, God’s grace and forgiveness through his Son Jesus is our ticket to a much better eternity.
The Bible contrasts the two destinations as “eternal life” and “eternal death.” We simply know it as heaven and hell, and we get to choose one. Choose wisely. It’s a decision with forever ramifications.
I often explain all mankind living forever in the life after this life. The question is, where will you be spending your time? You can be with God and his Son, a member of the bride of Christ (the church.) Or you can be bobbing in a lake of fire, about to go down for the third time.
Your choice!
