Death, What? ![[102.jpg]](../../../gr/102.jpg) |
Read On, And Know For
Sure.
How many times have you looked at the face of a dead person, lying in their casket and heard the following statements? "He or she has suffered and is better off now." "He or she is at peace, never to suffer anymore." Dear reader of this tract, these are correct statements if, that dead person had accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour and been born again. Paul said of a Christian in 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." If that person died in a lost spiritual con- dition, their troubles have just begun. The second that soul leaves the body of a lost person, it goes directly to Hell to burn for ever and ever. "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:44. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God." Psalm 9:17. Hear the voice of the rich man crying out from Hell, "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Luke 16:22-24. Possibly someone looked at the face of this rich man, as he
was prepared for burial and said how he was at peace, never to suffer anymore.
How wrong their statement was.

| end at death for a lost person. Ten million
years into eternity and they are still burning. If you are spiritually
lost and die in that condition, then you too will be doomed to a burning Hell.
You might ask, what must I do to escape this torment in Hell? The answer is the same one Jesus gave to Nicodemus. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. As you were born physically, you must be born spiritually to reach the portals of Heaven. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6. You are not promised another day on this earth. Tomorrow might be too late. Now is the time to do something about your lost condition. "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)" 2 Corinthians 6:2. While there is life in your body, won't you right now repent of your sins and call upon Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save your soul? "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13. "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:12. The decision is yours. Where will your soul be while they are preaching your funeral? Thomas W. Davis |
Your life might end before another
hour passes and your soul will be somewhere for eternity. Will you receive
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and be confident of everlasting life in
Heaven?
