Life is Short

Regardless of how long a person lives, whether it is ten or a hundred or more years, it is a short period of time when you compare it to eternity.  Read what it says about life in James 4:13-14, “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”  

Many people think they have a long period of time to live when they are young, so they are going to make the best of it and do their own thing and then when they get old they will get things right with the Lord.  Others don’t hardly give it a thought.  Then of course, there are the atheists that say they don’t believe there is a God.  They believe in evolution, which they can never prove and every time they come up with a theory they end up being proved wrong and the charade goes on and on endlessly, just like their theories, being deceived and deceiving others.  People can come up with all kinds of excuses to reject God, but everyone’s time is short and the excuses are going to run out.  Even people that knew there was a God wouldn’t acknowledge Him because their foolish hearts were darkened.

Read what it says in Romans 1:18-25, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

All one has to do is look around at what has been created and they will know there was a designer, a creator, and that was God as it says in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Also check out John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”  

It is your choice to rebel against God, and just keep putting it off, but you don’t know how much time you have.  God loves you and is not willing that any be lost but all come to repentance, but He has graciously given each of us a free will so we can make the right or wrong choice.

Read John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

Repent and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart and life and to be your Lord and Savior.  If you are sincere, I believe He will forgive you and you will become a child of God, a born-again believer.  Take your time and let Him fill you with His peace, love and joy, then you can go forth rejoicing and thanking Him for His precious grace and love.  Then go share what He has done for you with others.  It is important to find a Bible teaching church and start growing.   

Something to think about, the choice is up to you, but don’t put it off.  God bless and have a super day!!
