LIFE IS SHORT
The above title is 100% true. Job said, "Man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He comes forth like a flower and fades away; he flees like a shadow and does not continue" (Job 14:1-2). No matter how we might try, we are powerless to slow time down or delay the inevitable.
In view of this, it is incumbent on us to believe in God and submit to Jesus Christ as Lord while we still can. God warns, "Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." (Jam. 4:13-14).
Many people procrastinate about turning to God and Christ because they are “too busy”. Yet every minute of every day countless hearts stop, cars collide, fires erupt, murderers kill and people drown. Thousands of people die without warning. "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27).
Yet countless people live as though tomorrow is guaranteed. So, instead of preparing for eternity, they focus exclusively on this life. Remember the parable of the rich farmer in Luke 12:16ff? He believed that he had many years to enjoy his possessions and wealth. But God said, “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?” (vs 20)
He was not alone. The majority of people on earth, especially in America, believe that they have plenty of time left. No wonder so many of them assume that "God can wait". And so, they gamble with thier souls. Sadly, many will lose in the end.
Life is short. The end is coming. God sent His Son to this world in order to save you and me from our sins and grant us eternal life. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation - 2 Cor. 6:2. Won't you accept God's offer and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ today? You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Jesus, always Jesus!
