WHILE recently discussing a fatal car accident, a young man said to me, "Boy, I'm scared to death to die."He has much company because most people are afraid to die, whether they will admit it or not. We all fear the 'unknown' and specially the 'unknown of eternity.' The question we would like answered is ' what is beyong death?" let's see what some likely sources might tell us."Doctor, what is beyond death?""I don't know," he says."All i can tell you is that some people die peacefully and others die in terror.Maybe the undertaker can tell you more."The undertaker was even less helpful than the doctor, telling us only of his elaborate equipment to preserve the body in the grave. However, he suggested that we see the scientist at the university who are always seeking answers to the unknown."we can tell about fossils and the chemstry of living cells, but we can't tell you waht is beyond death".The scientists then sent us to the Philosophy Dept.Ther we were told of the many conflicting theories of both modern and ancient philosophers, about life-after-death. from reincarnation to non-existence, but no one could assure us that any theory was more than man's imagination.Remembering something that the doctor had said, we turned to him." Doctor, why do some of your patients die peacefully, and others in terror?"He replied," Why don'tyou ask them??"We were introduced to Mrs Kramer,dying from an accident. She began to beg the doctor not to let her die, because the thought of going into eternity was frightful to her. Although she had been active in her church and done the "best she could," she now felt unprepared to die. Her relifion and good works weren't enough.The doctor then introduced us to Mr Mylntyre,rapidly dying of cancer. We asked him why he seemed so at ease. Did he know what was beyond death and whether it was pleasantn or horrible?"Yes,I do,"He replied,"and i got my information from the only possible source - from God himself, as he had recoded in His Book, the BIBLE. however, whether eternity is pleasant or horrible depends on something." He opened his Bible to Rev.20 and asked s to read versus 6 to 15..."Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ.."but'...whoseever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire."Amazed at these words, we asked,"How can you be so calm when you might go to that place called the ' Lake of Fire?'"Oh," he replied,"There's no possiblity of me going to Hell because God has made Provision so men don't have to go there, and I have accepted that Provision.I have the same assurance that the Apostle Paul had, when he said that ' to die is gain' becuase departing this life was to 'be with Christ; which is far better."(Phil.1:21,23)."that's great,' we said,"but please explain what you mean by 'Provision' being made and your acceptanceof it?" " Well,"he replied,"the Bible clearly says, in Romans 3:23, that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," but God, in his great love for His sinful creatures, sent His co-equal Son,, Who took upon himself manhood, in the Person of Jesus Christ, that He might die for our sings. Jesus paid the full and righteous penalty for my sins,so that i can spend eternity with Him, if I repent and accept Him as my Saviour.And I have personally accepted Him as my SAviour and the Lord of my life.He is my Substitute and now God looks at me as being ' in Christ'. You see, where you go after death all depends on whether you have had a personal, saving encounter with Jesus Christ,repenting and accepting him as Saviour and lord here."Pointing his finger straight at us, he asked,"Will you repent and accept God'sProvision, Jesus Christ,as your Saviour, or will you reject Him and die in your sins, to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, God's eternal Hell?"Dear Reader, in our little story above, based on the truths of the Bible, Mr Mcintyre has aked you a very important question, even if you may be young and healthy! What is your answer? Christianity is not just a provision for dying but a life to live. It daily gives one "peace with God" Romans 5:1 and the wonderful, fear-removing knowledge that we spend eternity in the FAther's house, where there" are pleasures for everymore." Read John 14:1-3;Psalm 23:6;Psalm 16:11. Do you accept God's verdict that you are a sinner andn thus realize your need for a Saviour? If so, won't you as you read this, erpent, con fess your sins to God and accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life? In closing, read with us Romans 10:9 - 10..."That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus,and shalt believe in thine heart(with your entire self) that God hath raised Him(Jesus) frmo the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
