The COVID19 tragedy has highlighted one thing above all others – that life at best is very brief. But what happens after you die? Many people have ideas about what happens when you die. Some say when you die that is all there is. This would be very believable except how do they explain things that make humans unique among animals – a conscience, self effacing love, emotions and reasoning power among other things. Also the many things that science can’t explain how we got here (evolution is discredited see Creation.com ), what existed before the universe, how big is the universe, what lies beyond it, how matter is held together etc. Everything points to an intelligent designer. Some say an intelligent being in another part of the universe that could have come here in an UFO is responsible for life. Why believe that when you can believe in the one that made you – the living God of heaven?
Simple thing is that this is all written down in The Bible. God made the heaven and the earth. He put humans on the earth and gave them a simple rule to obey. But they disobeyed that rule and sin came into the world (Genesis 3). But God who is totally righteous and just already had a plan to deliver humans out of sin and misery. This he did when he sent his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world. He lived a perfect life because he was sinless and thus was able to die in the place of all human sinners which paid the price for sin (Romans 5) that otherwise a righteous God would have had to punish eternally. You need to believe this, repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved. Then you know what will happen when you die you will be in the joy of the Lord forever and ever.
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Are you a sinner? Everyone is! As a result of this pandemic, with people in their relationships being forced to be together more, the number of domestic abuse incidences has risen dramatically as has the suicide rate. That is where sin leads to more misery. Be saved and you can have a better life now and eternal life to come
Some men will say that’s too simple to believe. In fact they will believe anything except that! In the Bible there is the story of a man who had leprosy and went to a prophet of God for healing (2 Kings 5). He was told to go and bathe in a river and he would be healed. At first he wouldn’t do it because that seemed far too simple – he was expecting some great work he had to do to be healed. Eventually his friends persuaded and he did go to the river and was healed. Will you come to Christ and be healed? All your efforts are in vain simply trust Christ and you can know your future is assured for eternity when you die.
