Instructions... in some cases we can get by without them...and then at other times, they're IRREPLACEABLE.
Instructions, as it applies to eternity, is one of those irreplaceable times. Think about it, eternity is for too long to be wrong. The problem with most of us...we form an idea about eternity and then based on that idea, figure out our own plan how "we" will put [it] all together. We imagine we have a "better way" so we figure out "our own steps to take" and neglect the Manufacturer's detailed instructions.
Putting a table together is one thing... there's a margin for error and if our way didn't work, we can easily take it apart and start over. But if we die without Jesus... there are NO redo.
Eternity is much too long to be wrong, my friends... [it] is worth looking deeply into. Because it just doesn't start when we die... the life Christ came to give us must start before we die. If keep trying to put it together on our own... and die trying, we'll have no chance for a redo or start over.
And if we don't die, before we die, we'll never live after we die. Let me elaborate... if we don't die (with Christ), before we die, we'll never live (with Him) after we die. If we don't "put [it] together" according to His instructions... the consequences will be an utter and total loss. Though a man gain everything this world has to offer, but neglect God's one offer of redeeming grace in Christ Jesus, he'll lose it all. (Matthew 16).
Think about [it] my friends... but don't let it end with just your thoughts about [it]. May God's thoughts about [it] become your thoughts... [it] is far to long to be wrong.
