Musick-al note # 151
In the heart of every man lies a desire to live eternally and great wealth has been spent to assure that man keeps living in this world. Observation and experience teaches us that we cannot live in this world eternally. It is destined that man shall die and then comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27). All have sinned (Romans 3:23) and destined to die (Ezekiel 18:4). How then can that desire of every heart be fulfilled? Jesus declared that he will give his followers eternal life (John 10:26-29) in an eternal dwelling called heaven that God has established by His power for the souls of men (John 14:1-3). The Father sent His son, Jesus into the world to save mankind (John 3:16) from eternal death. Jesus gave himself as a ransom for all men by dying on the cross for every man (Romans 5:6-8). His death paid the penalty of sin for everyone and he offers eternal life to all who obey him (Hebrews 5:9).
. The Bible is the revelation of God to give man knowledge of that place and knowledge of how to obtain that goal and satisfy the desire of their hearts. Those who obey Him will be blessed and enter into the habitation with God (Hebrews 12:28). However, not all men will obey and sadly, the unbelieving and disobedient will be cast away (Revelation 21:8). God has provided that those who are disobedient and follow the way of Satan will share his eternal habitation (Matthew 25:46). The place God has prepared for Satan and his angels is called Hell – a place of fire and brimstone which burns forever and forever (Revelation 14:10-11, 19:20). Disobedient ones will go to that place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 22:13). The blessed will be in heaven to share all joy and happiness forever and forever (Matthew 25:34, 46). Study the Word of God and obey His Son, Jesus that you might enjoy the blessings of God (Acts 4:12).
