March 1st 2006 Hand In Hand Ministries Publication

How are you doing? Our prayers are that you are well and enjoying the goodness and joys in life. Today, we like to share some very important thoughts from God's WORD with you and pray that as you reflect upon it, God will speak to you, soften your heart to be receptive to His voice and help you make the most important decision in your life.

ETERNITY? Have you considered this most vital question in your life? It is a Question you and I cannot ignore. Where will you spend ETERNITY? Yes, where will you be if God calls you home today?

2Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, We believe the Bible as the inspired, holy and infallible WORD of God given to each one of us so that we may know what God wants us to know and that we may be guided in the way that He has planned for you and me. Yes, we believe in a loving God who wants only the best for us and will go all out to bless us as we journey through life's pathway. However, we can only receive God's blessings if we accept and follow His ways.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Do you know God has said in the Bible that since the time of Adam and Eve when they disobeyed and sinned against God, all mankind has fallen into sin. Because sin has terrible consequences, God's heart was broken.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, When God created mankind, God wanted to share eternal fellowship with Adam and Eve because He loves us and wants us to share our lives with Him forever. Because of sin, our fellowship with God has been broken. God is really hurt.

Our relationship and fellowship with God needs to be restored if we are to spend eternity with Him. Only God can find a solution to this. Sin is as real today as in the days of Adam and Eve. Sin has separated you and me from God because God is Holy, without sin and cannot stand sin. The Bible says that there is a punishment for sin which is spiritual death and eternal

separation from God. How sad and terrible this is. Unless our sins have been forgiven by God, we cannot stand in God's presence. God's Glory will kill us instantly because of sin.

Therefore, God in His infinite wisdom and love decided to pay the penalty for our sins once and for all, so that He can restore our relationship and fellowship for eternity back with Him.

John 3:16&17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Yes, only God alone can do that and no one else. This He achieved by sending His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross at Calvary, bearing the full penalty for your sin and my sin upon Himself and repaired the breach that has once separated us from Him.

Therefore, we can now have forgiveness of sin and be restored back into eternal fellowship with God. Yes, Hallelujah, Praise Jesus for dying for you and me. Today, Jesus is calling you. If you hear His voice, do not tarry come confessing your sins to God, repent and ask God for forgiveness and accept Jesus Christ as your own and personal Saviour.

Yes, do you know that life does not just end here when we die? After we pass from this world we move into eternity and that is where we will spend eternity in the wonderful presence and joy of God or we will forever be lost, spending eternity away from God. The choice is yours. God wants us to make our own decision. The Bible says clearly we each have to stand before the presence of God our Creator and give an account of our life to Him. This is very true God's WORD does not lie. We each must be prepared for Eternity. Where will you spend ETERNITY?

We thank and praise God both Anna and I have chosen to spend Eternity with our God and we want you to make this most important decision in your life too, if you have still not done so. Yes, do not delay because nothing is more important right now than to be right with God. Our earnest prayers are with you. May you respond to God's call today. God's richest blessings be with you now and always. God loves you and so do we. Amen.
