What determines eternity? & what could be more
IMPORTANT
We start at natural human birth and continue until physical death on this earth. In between, there is what we call “life”, but, this “life” is actually death (perverted by the “god of this world) 2 Cor 4:4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Unless we become born of the water and the spirit (Jn 4:24). With a sin record (Ro 3:23, 2 Cor 4:4) in tact we will not be a part of God’s kingdom, but rather the devil will have had his way in our life and prevented the born again experience and eternity will be spent in hell. From birth to the grave are many variables for different individuals. But God, who is no respecter of persons, knows our very thoughts and our intent. We were born in sin and shapen in iniquity (Ps 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me) and unless that sin record is removed through the blood of Jesus (Jesus Name Baptism) no sin will enter God’s kingdom. Now, this journey can entail different decisions and some can be very beneficial and some can be very hurtful. We are in a spiritual fight that is being played out in this physical ream. The devil has access to our soul and body, but not our spirit if we are filled with the Holy Spirit. This is why it is so important to “think on these things, the things of God and renew our minds with God’s ways so we can have the knowledge and understanding of God’s Word to combat the enemy and overcome him through the Lord.
Some people are ignorant, just don’t know what is going on in this fight or if there is even one that exist. Others don’t even care. Still others, who know the truth still don’t care knowing what the end will be and where they will spend eternity.
I wanted to show a diagram that would show from birth until death, after all, if the Lord doesn’t come for His church there is a time appointed to man to die. The spirit of man and the soul of man never dies, but the body drops off kind of like the shuttle, but will re unite again at some point whether in the Lord’s church or not and shall spend eternity in Heaven or hell. It’s simple. The obedience that we have toward God and how we respond to Him will determine whether we are scripturally born again because God gives the Holy Ghost (Spirit) to them that obey Him. Now in between birth and death a lot of things take place in the physical realm that is actually being directed by the supernatural. Some people know this and others don’t. Some are going strictly on the tradition of men and anything other than the Truth will have some error in it, enough for a person not to be scripturally born again, usually. So, it is choices. Big ones and small ones, but choices that will determine where we spend eternity. Choices begin with what we are thinking and then it becomes action. We need to act on the Word of God. He that believeth and does some (acts on it) will receive It., and we shall have whatsoever we say (good or bad). It’s real. So very real and so very important and so very simple. God did not put us in a situation that is impossible. He wants to be our friend and our Lord.
