Good-Life Devotional: THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE
March 7/3/24
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
The two most important days of our lives is the day of our birth and the day of death .
Between these days we have our youth to enjoy and the Bible says "
Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do" . Ecclesiastes 11:9 NLT
We were created for a purpose to serve God and God has given the holy scriptures to discover our individual purpose . Failure to do so leads to dishonouring God like Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden .
The penalty for sin which is dishonouring God is spiritual death : a separation from God. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
The spiritually dead will perish in hell fire Mark 9:43 "..go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: " It is a place of extreme pain for eternity . It is described as a place " Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. " Mark 9: 45 it is also described as a place of torment in Luke 16::28.
God does not want anyone to go to hell but unfortunately many will be there by their refusal to accept Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. " He is our salvation from hell fire given that he took the punishment for the sins of humanity on the cross of Calvary. He took our sins and gave us his righteousness.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:19,21 " To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;...and [21]For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.'
We are declared righteous before God because of Jesus' sacrifice.
As the days pass by we are one day closer to the day of giving account before God. It will happen the day we die on earth. The scriptures says Hebrews 9:27"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" also Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." We all have an appointment with the judge of the universe are you ready ? 2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to serve you .Amen.
