God's Mercy and Grace Considering Eternal Life
When we die the body dies, but the soul lives on. So what happens to the soul, is the question.
The soul will either end up in Heaven or in Hell; but what are the reasons for where the soul will go.
How have you reacted when the gospel is presented to you? Have the pleasures of life, make it not a convenient time to consider your salvation. Is it business dealings and profession that make it not a convenient time to come to religion.
Is it your youth that you want to wait for a more convenient time in middle age. Is it middle life one spends in business, and this is not a convenient time. Is it later years and still wanting to put it off just a little longer; are you still in love with the world. Seldom is it found to be a convenient time to prepare for heaven; it just keeps getting put off until death comes and then it is too late.
It is commonly believed that Felix never found that more convenient time to call for Paul. Will you have a convenient time to seek the Lord.
The gospel simply is this. Tell a man what God's standard is, show him that he cannot live up to it, and tell him that as as such there will be judgement unless he recognizes that Jesus Christ took his sin, paid his penalty of judgment, and offers him His righteousness by faith.
