Wills and trust funds are thought out and then taken to a lawyer for the legalities to be met. Wills do not become activated until a person dies.
God in His grace has given a promise to all who have received Jesus as their Savior. He has promised life, not death. God also activates His promise for followers of Christ (those who obey, doing what He says). Then when death comes…they are given life…beyond physical death…forever in His presence.
What greater promise does any other religion have than this? Others promise to have one’s own world, or to be attended by virgins, or to hope in gods of stone, wood or even one’s ancestors…only a relationship with the living Lord Jesus guarantees life after we pass through death’s door leading to God Himself.
Wills are made by people in the days, months or years before they die. After they die, others benefit from those wills.
God’s promise of eternity with Him is activated for the followers of Christ when they die.
Death for followers of Christ should not be feared nor sought. God’s timing for each life, not man’s timing, is important for the true believer in Christ Jesus. The living God of the Bible specializes in life. Your life and mine was carefully considered before the creation of the world…think about that! Jesus Christ is the key:
(NASB) Ephesians 1:4 “For he [God] chose us in him [Jesus] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.”
In God’s perfect timing – He sent Gabriel to visit with Mary to give her a miraculous message.
(NASB) Luke 1:31 “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.”
God’s timing ~ for His Son to be born of a virgin.
God’s sovereignty ~ He is the Lord God Almighty.
Jesus did not just “˜happen’ to be born,
He was planned from before the creation of the world.
Jesus was born for you to have life ~ eternally!
Jesus’ name means “He shall save His people from their sins” (See Matthew 1:21)
God’s promises are true. We can know that what He promises will be activated for His people in His timing and will be for all eternity…into infinity and beyond.
Have you become one of those who will spend your eternity with the living God of the Holy Bible?
Do you know of another who needs this great Good News that Jesus is Savior and Lord?
