Are you really sure of your eternal salvation?
This
is a very important question, and one that will have lasting eternal
consequences. If you were to die today, do you know for certain that you
would go to heaven? This is a question about which we cannot afford to be
wrong, because eternity is very permanent. One day each of us will know the true answer to this question, "For we shall all stand
before the judgment seat of Christ", Romans 14:10. Every one of us
have two appointments that have already been made for us and that we will
definitely keep, whether we want to or not. They are,
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:", Hebrews 9:27. These two appointments, death and the judgment, cannot be
cancelled.
The tragedy of what happened in New York
City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. on September 11, 2001 shows the uncertainty and brevity of life. God
tells us in James 4:14, "Whereas ye know not
what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
We must not make an error concerning our salvation in
following what "seems right" to us, or that we "feel in our
heart that we are saved". The Bible says in Proverbs 14:12,
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are
the ways of death.". Our feelings are not a safe guide, but only the Bible
is.
Our soul is worth more than the whole world and
everything in it. Jesus says in Matthew 16:26, "For
what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Our soul is the part of us that
is going to continue to live on forever throughout all eternity. We cannot
afford to lose it into eternal punishment.
