The most important thing you can do on Earth is ensure you have eternal life.
The Bible says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Many people don’t consider eternal life very important, so many will not have it, and only a few will find it.
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
It is an undeniable truth that every person eventually dies. As you walk past a graveyard, you are confronted with countless graves, each one representing a life that has been lived and is now over. Beyond this life, judgment awaits. In the end, their dreams, hopes, and possessions become irrelevant.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Eternal life lasts forever, so it’s important to ensure that you are heading to the right place. If you’re not saved or if you’re just going through the motions, you may find yourself wishing you had invested more time in this aspect of your life once you take your final breath.
The scriptures are where we get our doctrine; they are our instructions to eternal life, not a denomination, a certain preacher, or what people have made up in their own minds.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Have you worked out your salvation with fear and trembling, or are you a once-a-week churchgoer?
Matthew 7 describes a situation in which individuals say to Jesus, “I prophesied, cast out demons, and performed many wonderful works in your name.” In response, Jesus states, “I NEVER KNEW YOU. Depart from me, you who sin.”
How could this happen? How can people who attend church believe they are saved but actually are not? It should warn everyone to go to the Bible and ensure they have eternal life.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work sin.
Revelations 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Revelations 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelations 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelations 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelations 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
John 12:38 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
