We’re All Gonna Live?

Yesterday I said we’re all gonna die and it’s true but what happens after that? The physical body is a temporary home but the spirit and soul within are eternal. Everyone knows we have a limited time in the body but not everyone knows about life after death. I believe that when people die physically that the Spirit and soul leave the body and but continue to exist in the spiritual realm. When you die your destination is determined by your decision beforehand. It’s like when you go to an airport and get on a plane. Once it takes off you are headed wherever it’s headed and it’s too late to change your mind. Knowing this most people make sure they go to the right gate so they’ll end up in the right place. No one in their right mind would willingly get on a plane that’s going down. It’s very clear that you have to make a choice and everyone that doesn’t will end up in the wrong place. Jesus is the gate to another way and through Him you can change your destination. Now is the time to decide and to live like you’re gonna live. When death comes you will suddenly realize which direction you are headed but after that there will be no choice to change and no turning back. So I’m thinking that we ought to be at least as careful with our eternal destination as we are with our vacation and make sure we are ready ahead of time. And since we don’t know the day or the hour that now is really the only logical time to make the choice. It’s a one way trip and if we want to end up in the right place then we need to go to the Gate and stay there until take off.

Matt 7:13-14
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
NKJV

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
NKJV
