Phillipians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace.
Philippians 2:21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,
2 Corinthians 5:8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
Dilemmas: we face them just about every hour of every day. What is a dilemma? A dilemma is usually defined as a situation involving a choice between equally unsatisfactory alternatives.
Sometimes the dilemmas we face are not between two unsatisfactory choices. It might be between the known and the unknown. Do I keep my present job, or do I take that new position in a different city? Sometimes our dilemmas involve two equally satisfactory choices. Do I take the pecan pie or the chocolate pie? Sometimes our dilemmas involve choices that are very important. Do I forgive my child one more time, or do I ask him or her to move out? But, at some point, we will face death. Like it or not we will come face to face with it. Now here is the dilemma; Do I make the choice, now, for heaven “Believing and Trusting in Jesus Christ”, or do I give no thought about heaven and hell and take the consequence of hell because I chose not to believe and trust in Jesus Christ while I was alive. Heaven and hell should not even be a dilemma, but sadly it is. Too many people choose to deny Christ and would rather live to satisfy themselves rather than living for Jesus Christ.
What is your purpose in life? What have you chosen? Have you chosen Heaven through Jesus Christ or hell through Satan and self-reliance? Your purpose in life determines how you will act, think, speak, and live. Remember, there is no choice after death. None of us know the minute, hour, day, week, month, or year when we will die. Heaven or hell both are eager to welcome you. One to eternal life and the other to eternal damnation.
