The Walk

The walk.

Someone has said, “from the moment we are born we are walking to eternity. The problem is not everyone prepares for it.”
Tony Campolo wrote,
“When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy. The only question that matters is this - when you die, will you be happy when everybody else is crying?”

I do not believe nor can I believe we simply are born into this world to procreate then slip into oblivion. To me it would be such a waste of potential.
Every man woman and Child has potential and skills. To be able us use them for a few decades or a few years over a century seems pointless.
That’s one of the reasons I believe there is an eternity we will one day enter and a God we will one day stand before.
You can choose to believe it or not.
I believe there is a God who created the universe and all that is in it.
I believe he sent his Son Jesus Christ into the world to point mankind to God. To point mankind who has fallen far short of God’s ideals to him. To make away for each and every man.
C. S. Lewis wrote of Jesus,
“He(Jesus) died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.” 
                             C.S. Lewis   
Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                            John 3:16-18
Jesus made it clear,
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
                 John 14:6   
The apostle Paul points out that it is our faith in Christ that saves us,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
                                                                     Ephesians 2:8,9.
The writer of Hebrews making it clear,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                                         Hebrews 11:6.
Defining faith as,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
                                                                                                            Hebrews 11:1  
The question is do you believe what I have just said?
Think about it.
