Have you ever given consideration to where you will spend eternity? At some point we will all die. Then what? “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:27-28
God’s Word gives us a pattern of how to get to heaven and it is up to us to study His Word so that we may know what that pattern is.
God destroyed the world the first time by a flood. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.” Genesis 6:5-6, but then as we look down into verse 8 we find, “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” and as you continue reading on through verses 11-14 you will read, “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” As you read on in the account of the flood in verses 14-21 you will find the pattern that God gave Noah in order to be saved from the flood. The last verse of Chapter six tells us “Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.” Noah obeyed and he and his family were saved alive. Noah followed the pattern God gave him.
Obedience to God’s plan of salvation set forth in the book of Acts is essential to our salvation. It’s not what I think, you think or anyone else thinks. It is up to us to make that choice, to read His plan for salvation and follow the pattern.
“You know what life is truly? You’re born, you live, you eat. You walk around in a circle for awhile and you buy clothes and you die. Anything I missed? Isn’t that just about it? But that soul lives on…..”
