WHERE DOES YOUR SOUL GO WHEN YOU DIE? (2)

                                           WHERE DOES              YOUR SOUL GO 
   WHEN                            YOU DIE?  

                                                     2

The Bible is very clear about what happens to us when we die.

You can choose to either believe what is written in the road map for your earthly journey and accept God's provision or you can reject it.   The choice is yours. There is no middle way!  

You can scoff, sneer and laugh as much as you wish while here on earth. Whatever you choose to believe will not alter what God has ordained.  When you have breathed your last breath you must face the consequences of your choice. There are no second chances.

Some people believe that God is an  old man with a long beard and that He is cruel and keeps us under control with a whip.  Nothing can be further from the truth. 

 Firstly: God is not an "old man"  because God does not age.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  

"For I am the Lord, I change not."
Malachi 3:6

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."
Hebrews 13:8

Secondly: God is loving and kind, patient and compassionate - He wishes to have a personal relationship with  each and everyone of us regardless of what we have said or done (none of us can say we have not sinned) and so because He loves us so much He has provided a means for us to escape the curse of sin and death.  This is where our choice comes in  - we can accept His provision or we can reject it.

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying His voice  and holding fast to Him , for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give them." 
 Deuteronomy 30: 19-20

"The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord."
Romans 6:23

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life ."
John 3:16

"The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all  should reach repentance."
2nd Peter 3:9

" The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent."
Acts 17:30
