I don’t know about you, but, recently, all these physical ailments and problems have been a part of the lives of people whom I know and love. Here we are living in the most medically and tech-nologically advanced decade in human history, and it seems as though disease and bodily malfunc-tions are on the increase!
I find it very comforting to remind myself that the few years lived on earth are nothing when compared to eternity. And I know on the authority of the Word of God that none of these problems will ever be experienced where I am going after this life on earth.
Read on:
Romans 8:21-24 (New Living Translation) - All creation anticipates the day when it will join GOD’S CHILDREN in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And even WE CHRISTIANS, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as HIS CHILDREN, including the new bodies He has promised us. Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom...
Revelation 21:3,4 (New Living Translation) - I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, the home of God is now among HIS PEOPLE! He will live with them, and they will be HIS PEOPLE. God Himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain, for the old world and its evils are gone forever.”
GOD’S CHILDREN = WE CHRISTIANS = HIS PEOPLE = You?
Are you His Child?
Are you a Christian?
Are you one of His People?
Have you, from your heart, confessed to Him your rebellious nature and repented of your sins?
Have you sincerely accepted Christ’s sacrifice of His life on your behalf and applied it to your account?
Have you humbly asked Him to be your Savior and Master?
Then,
you also
are
His Child,
a Christian,
one of His People,
and
you can claim for yourself the promises of the Bible verses above.
But
if you are not His Child, a Christian, one of His People,
then the only verses which apply to you are:

Matthew 13:49-51 (New Living Translation) - That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the Godly, throwing the wicked into the fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Do you understand?” [Other verses tell us that this punishment will last forever.]
IT IS YOUR CHOICE!
