The Inescapable Event- article by Dr. K. B. Tan

Hey friends, I find this article quite interesting and meaningful so I wanna share with all of u..

If today were your last day on earth, how would you live and what will you do? In fact, we should treat our every day as if it were our last day on earth! This is because we cannot guarantee that we will be alive by the end of that day. Anything can happen and our life will just vanish in just one tick of the time.. Who knows? If today were our last day, then surely, what seemed important to us yesterday- like wealth, success, and recognition - don't matter anymore!

The Big question is.. "What happens after our death?" Have you thought of that before? There's eternity right ahead of us. But where will u spend ur eternity? Are you ready for that?The Bible ( God's word ) tells us:
" Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement, so Jesus Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people.." -Hebrews 9: 2 7-28a
" For we will stand before the judgement seat of God so then each of us will give an accound of himself to God." -Romans 14:10,12

*THE JUDGEMENT: This is an inescapable event every man must face, because God has already fixed a day when He will judge all men in righteousness. How would you face the Almighty God who created the world? Would you measure up to his holy standard? If we are honest with ourselves, we know we won't. How can we then face God on that Day?

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE!
We don't have to fear judgement as it has been settled for us by the Lord Jesus Christ. So the bible says : "There is now no judgement for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1)
" He who believes in Me (Jesus), has passed from judgement unto ETERNAL LIFE." (John5:24)
HOW DID IT HAPPEN AND WHY?
Listen to the Good News from the Bible" For God so loved the world ( that means you and me) that He gave His only Begotten son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him ( Jesus) shall not perish (that is judged guilty and punished forever in hell), but have eternal life." -John 3:16

Yes, God really loves us even though we all are sinners. Because of His Great Love for us sinners, God does not wish to see us perish. He does not delight in the death of us all..

So God Himself provided the way out for sinners. He sent His one and only son Jesus Christ to be the atoning sacrifice and died for our sins. "For Christ died for (our)sins once and for all, the Righteous for the unrighteousness, that He might bring us to God.." -1 Peter 3:18

On the Cross of Calvary 200o years ago, Christ bore our sins and judgement, so that we may all be forgiven from our sins. When we humbly believe in Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death for us as God's provision for our sins, God accepts and forgives us so that we may experiences ETERNAL LIFE!!

But how could Christ's death 2000 years ago helps us today? Christ did not only die, HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY AND IS ALIVE TODAY AND FOREVERMORE! Because He is alive, what He did on the cross is still valid today! "He (God) accepts us in His Beloved Son." -Ephesians 1:6.

Dear Friends, this good news is specially for you. God loves each and everyone including you and wants to forgive all your sins and give you hope and a new life. Will you repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?

If so, you can simply pray this prayer of faith:

"Dear Lord Jesus, I realise now that i am a sinner and cannot save myself from my sins. I believe in You who died for me and rose again. In you, I have hope of eternal life! I now renounce my sins and aceept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Lord for saving my soul. I will be obedient to You who loves me so much. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen."

Congratulations friends if u already accepted Jesus Christ and thus now having a new life in him..
" Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God thorugh our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!" - Romans 5:1-2
