The World According To Missygirl

He said, "Come to the edge."
I said, " I can't , I'm afraid."
He said, "Come to the edge."
I said, " I can't, I'll fall off."
He said finally, " Come to the edge."
And I came to the edge.
And He pushed me.
And I flew. -Guillaume Apollinaire

Death is sure and life is so uncertain. The grim reaper of death stalks our trail every passing day. Eventually, he will come after us to carry us to our eternal home.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27.

There are three deaths mentioned in the Bible.

PHYSICAL DEATH

This is the separation of the soul from the body. At the point of physical death, the body still remains with the same component parts of blood, bones, muscles, and nerves. But, there's no life, a separation has taken place.

SPIRITUAL DEATH

This is the separation of a human being from God. This took place in the garden of Eden with our first parents of Adam and Eve. Before the fall, there was a perfect harmony and a perfect fellowship with a Holy God. After man sinned, that fellowship was broken. Communion with God came to an end.

In the fullness of time, Christ came into the world to heal this wound and to bring this separation to an end. By His death on the cross, He made possible the way of a new fellowship with God Almighty. This separation need no longer exist if man will repent of his sin and trust Christ as his Lord and Saviour.

ETERNAL DEATH

This is eternal punishment in the lake of fire. This is separation from God on an eternal basis. If man by-passes CALVARY, he will find his eternal destiny in the pits of hell.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:13,14.

This fate was never planned for man but rather for the devil and his angels.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41.

..... There is but a step between me and death. I Samuel 20:3.

This life is only a dressing room to prepare for eternity. Heaven or Hell and the choice is yours. This choice must be made today, while you are still living. Remember, you will die and you will spend eternity somewhere.

If you are not saved, please bow your head, repent of your sin, and ask the Lord to forgive you.

God is the only one who can give you perfect peace and assurance of eternal life in heaven. Please, do not wait too long.

You may have seen your last sunset or your last sunrise on this earth.
