Do you stop and think when you read Scriptures that challenge you like this?
The greatest fear man is faced with daily is the fear of death. Every human is constantly guarding against death. The value a man puts to his life is evident in how much he attempts to protect it.
People seek all kinds of security, whether in religion, science and technology, metaphysics, astrology or whatever they think can protect from death. The devil wants man to believe he can exist outside of God. He may offer you the world in exchange for your soul and you may not even notice it because you have been blinded by your desires.
Just how often do you check your motives to see if you are romancing the devil and in danger of loosing your soul? Beloved, humanity has no immunity to death, except you have given your life to Jesus who came to destroy the works of the devil to guarantee you power to live above sin and death.
Self indulgence in this world would make you lose Eternal life with Jesus. The satisfaction of the flesh is temporary. Luke 13:24 says “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able “. Lots of people blatantly sin against God because of the desire to satisfy lust of the flesh. But how much do you love the Lord so that you may hate your worldly desires in order to do His Will for you?
Jesus did the will of the Father despite the pain of the cross, because the bible says that “for this cause He came from heaven”. Matthew 7:13 says ” Enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and there be many which go in thereat”. The truth is, its only by the Grace of God that we can enter.
Our life’s satisfaction should lie with God because it is great gain. Jesus offered Himself as the Living Sacrifice, so that we are able to approach the Throne of Grace in surrender. Forsaking our lives in this world for the Glory of Life Eternal.
A life is worthless if it does not have Eternal Value.
