Six vital certainties:
1. Life is real short (in the light of eternity) and uncertain.
2. Death is sure -- It is appointed unto man once to die... (Not multiple times like with the false belief in reincarnation. Of course some believers will enjoy the Rapture).
3. Judgment is inevitable, and I ain't the judge.. except for myself up until the time that I meet Him face to face.. at the judgment seat of Christ.
4. Sin is exceeding sinful (yours and mine put Christ up on that tree). Wrong is still wrong and right is still all the way right, and no wrong is ever right, and no trying to do right in the wrong way is ever right either.
5. Hell is a dreadful reality -- much too long, never ending, with different levels of punishment there as well. Choices matter, each and every one of them. Pray, obey, worship acceptably and glorify the Lord.
6. Christ LOVES YOU, and He alone can save you (see John 3). You can't do that for yourself and I can't either. But once you are saved (forgiven), Jesus can use you to tactfully share the gospel and lead somebody else to the Lord. www.knowGod.org
"Let us rise from our beds every morning with a deep conviction that we are debtors, and that every day we have more mercies than we deserve." ~ JC Ryle
