PROPER PREPARATIONS
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” – Heb.9:27
We often say. “There are only two kinds of people in the world, the saved and the lost,” and that’s true. To put it another way, we could say, there are those who have prepared for the inevitable and those who haven’t.
The inevitable is that you’re going to die. To do so unprepared is the height of folly. There are reminders of death all around us, but most folks ignore the warnings and go on their merry way without any consideration for what’s to come. That doesn’t make sense.
Some of these same people are called “preppers.” They prepare for some possible catastrophe, but they make no preparation for their spiritual welfare. They go to great lengths preparing for a natural disaster or man-made calamity, but make no effort to prepare for death and what follows – “the judgment.” They hope all will end well but make no plans assuring themselves of it. They live as though they will live forever, although all the evidence is to the contrary.
Dear friend, we all shall die and after death comes the judgment. While Christians will appear at the “Judgment seat of Christ” to be rewarded for their labor, the unsaved will stand before the “Great White Throne” Judgment to be condemned. The only way to prepare is to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior. It’s my prayer that you will do so today.–HDS
