(from Bible notes)
The Bible records for us the beginning of the world and the end of the world. The account of mankind, from the beginning to the end (from the fall into sin to redemption and to God's ultimate victory over evil).
In Genesis, God created us with the freedom to choose between good and evil (He did not want robots). We all chose to disobey (Romans 3:23). Sin kills the body and soul (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15). But God in His grace, mercy and love, chose to send His Son to the earth to save us from our sins by His perfect sacrifice on Calvary's cross (John 3:17; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1John 4:10) and today (by the mercy of God) we are again given another choice (Joshua 24:15; Deuteronomy 11:26; Ephesians 2:8-9):
"He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him."
John 3:36
According to God's Word, the choice you make today (or before your last breath -see Hebrews 9:27) will determine where your soul will be for eternity (there is a heaven and there is a hell - Revelation 20:15; Revelation 21:1, 27)! ETERNITY!
Time soon will end,
Its fleeting moments pass away;
O sinner, say, where will you spend
Eternity's unchanging day?
"And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:11-13
'Choose life!
That you might live the life that He give, He gives you forever!
Choose life!'
