7. Choose Your Destiny

Each of us faces the same choice.

Because we have the freedom to choose Christ, there is no reason for any human being to go to hell.

Still, hell remains our destination until the moment we make the decision to place our faith in Jesus Christ as our personal substitute, trusting Him alone for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life which He promised to give freely to all who come to Him for it.

No other decision in life deserves more attention than this one. Our choice affects not only our life on earth, but our eternal future. And forever is a long, long time.

Imagine draining all the water out of the Pacific Ocean and replacing it with sand. Then build that sand pile higher and higher until it is as tall as Mt. Everest.

Now, picture a bird that flies in every 5,000 years and carries away one grain of sand each trip. When the bird finally returns for the last grain of sand, one second will have ticked by in eternity.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 says, “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.”

Take a cue from Lazarus. Choose life by trusting the Lord Jesus Christ as your only Savior from sin.
