Death is the final answer.
I will start today by saying that we really do not know much. Any person who makes a living out of true study and investigation I will at least listen to what they say.
However, listening does not necessarily mean I am going to agree with them. I think it is sad that we live in a world where every one has convinced them selves that they are the sole authority on every issue.
Imagine getting to heaven waiting for Christ’s judgment and finally realizing that every thing you thought was right is actually wrong.
In terms of life after death, death is the final sentence. Once a person dies, there is no changing your mind and accepting Jesus Christ.
Now you do not have to believe me. In addition, I know the violent and almost psychotic response many people have when they hear or read God’s name. Therefore, if you are looking for a religious fight, look somewhere else.
All I am going to tell you is that God loves you and that love is so profound that “God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son [to die on the cross] so whoever believes in him will have eternal life and not parish.”
Therefore, even though you will close your heart of to Him, He has not closed His heart of to you.
I am comfortable saying that no one has ever cried alone. God is aware of everything that has happened to you and everyday He is eagerly working so you will open your eyes and see that you need His love.
The big picture is that God does allow free choice. We are all free to accept Him or reject Him.
Christ said, “If you do not confess me, I will not confess your name to my father”. Is this a spiteful act of a vengeful God? I do not see it that way.
I see God as the best tour guide of life. Who better then the one who created life to know how to live life?
In addition, it is easy to know Christ. All you have to do is become aware that sin is what keeps you away from God, repent and ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to be your lord and savior.
Moreover, it is all about you. God wants a personal relationship with you. He does not want to dominate you and treat you as a slave.
He wants to help you get the best out of life.
