Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Psalm 139:16
Why do fake indulgences like horoscopes, fortune cookies, and fortune tellers attract people? Because they all deliver messages about the same subject: the future. If the average person could have one question answered, it would likely be this: What does the future hold for me? That is a human question, one as old as time. (Dr. Jeremiah)
———————————————————– Even outside of the foolishness of horoscopes and fortune tellers, people will try to tell you what to worry about, what to fear, how to prepare, what to think, how to think, when to act, all for something in the future. There are times when we should listen; hurricanes, severe storms, winter storms, floods, pending volcanic eruption, etc…. Not listening to these warnings has caused many people harm.
There is a time coming, in the future, when everyone will be judged by God. This is not so much a warning as it is more a promise or declaration.
We all know that every one of us will die. We don’t know when or how, but we know we will die. It is the way of life. What we believe now affects our destiny in eternity. God’s Word promises eternal life for all who trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation and forgiveness of sin. It also states that all of mankind falls short of God’s holiness and is on a path leading to eternal torment (Hell). It states anyone who denies the offer of salvation/redemption from Jesus Christ is condemned. It also states that there is no work a person can do that will make them right before God. It also states that God stands at the door of our hearts and knocks beckoning us to believe in His grace, mercy, and love through belief, trust, reliance, and faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
We indeed know very little about what tomorrow holds for each of us, but one thing is for sure; If we die with faith in Jesus Christ we will have eternal life and without faith in Jesus Christ we will have eternal torment in Hell.
