The statistics say that 10 out of 10 people die. It's true-we all have an appointment with death. A question each of us should ask is "What happens after I die?" The Bible says that GOD has a standard that he will judge you by on your appointed day of death. It's called the Ten Commandments. Let's see how you would do. Have you ever told a lie? (Including white lies and fibs). Have you ever stolen anything? (no matter the value). The third Commandment is "You shall not take the name of the LORD your GOD in vain". Have you ever used His name as a curse word to express disgust? That's blasphemy. The seventh Commandment is "You shall not commit adultery," but JESUS said "if you look upon a woman to lust after her you've already commited adultery with her in your heart". Have you ever looked at another person with lust or sexual desire? If you have said 'yes' to these four questions, then by your own admission, you're a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart, and we've only looked at four of the Ten Commandments. On Judgment Day, if GOD were to judge you by those standards, would you be innocent or guilty? Would you therefore go to Heaven or Hell? The Bible says that you would be guilty, and that means eternity in hell. Know that GOD, the just judge of the universe, is also rich in mercy. He sent His Son JESUS to suffer and die on the cross on your behalf to take the punishment for your sins. GOD'S wrath came down upon Him, instead of on YOU. He paid your fine with His life's blood. That means GOD can excuse your death sentence. He can allow you to live because of what JESUS did on the cross. Through His death and resurrection, GOD can now dismiss your case. So what must you do? You must repent - turn from your sins. Don't just confess your sins to GOD; confess and forsake them. Don't just believe in JESUS - trust in Him, like you would trust in a parachute to save you. You don't just believe in a parachute, you put your trust into it! That's what you must do with the Savior. Then get a Bible and read it daily, and obey what you read. Find a church that teaches you the Bible, GOD will never let you down!
