PREPARE TO MEET GOD

Death is in the headlines after every terrorist attack.  But it’s also on the obituary page of the Review.  We see it for friends and loved ones.  Famous people and strangers all face death.  Nobody escapes it.  And that is how we meet God – when we die and pass into Eternity.

So the question becomes, “How do we prepare to meet God?” The timing of this upcoming meeting is completely unknown and could happen at any time; thus the importance of advance preparation...

Thankfully, the Good News is that we can find the answer if we sincerely search for it.  God has put the knowledge of Eternity in our minds and hearts.  It’s a natural [or maybe a supernatural] longing that every person has.  From the search for the Fountain of Youth to long-term cryogenic body preservation that is purchased by some, man’s history is filled with the quest for longer, if not eternal, life.

If it’s God we’re going to meet, it makes sense to see if He has given us any revelation about this yearning we have for living on and on and on and on and on and on and on…

If you, the reader of this missive, are serious about finding out what God has said, then begin with the Holy Bible.  I suggest you start reading in the New Testament, perhaps the Book of John.  It won’t take you long to find the real solution to the dilemma of death and how to get ready for your Divine Appointment.
