James 4:14
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are reminded that life on this earth is short and uncertain. Even if we live to be 100 years old, in the light of eternity that is but a very short time.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:14)
However, our time on earth is not the end. We all have immortal souls, and the bible tells us that:
....we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10)
It doesn't matter how good we think we are, or what good things we think we have done, we will be condemned, unless we believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
....Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, (Acts 16:31)
If we believe and trust in Him, our sins will be forgiven, and we will receive His righteousness, as if it were our own. Then we will be able to stand before an Almighty and Holy God.
