Last Question:
What do Babe Ruth, Wilt Chamberlin, Walter Payton, Jackie Robinson,
Byron Nelson and Joe Louis all have in common?
They are all dead. For the rest of the answer
and to find out why this happened please turn this over and read
the back.
These legendary athletes all experienced death, just
like you will someday, regardless of how healthy, rich or famous
you are. The Bible says that “man is destined to die once,
and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible
also tells us the reason that people die: “The soul who sins
is the one who will die” (Ezekiel 18:4). To sin means to violate
God’s Laws, the Ten Commandments, and we have all done this
(Romans 3:23, I John 3:4). Let’s see if you have sinned and
deserve death.
Answer the following questions honestly and listen
to your conscience. Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything,
irrespective of its value? Jesus said, “I tell you that anyone
who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with
her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Have you ever looked at
someone with lust? The Bible says that if someone hates another
person they are a murderer (I John 3:15). Have you ever hated anyone?
If you have answered “Yes” to these questions then you
have admitted that you are a liar, a thief, an adulterer and a murder
at heart, and we’ve only looked at four of the Ten Commandments.
If God were to judge you by this standard would you be innocent
or guilty? You know you would be guilty and deserve eternal punishment
in hell. Even though you deserve punishment, God doesn’t want
that to happen. Do you understand why Jesus came to earth, died
and rose from the grave on the third day? He died a criminal’s
death not because He had broken the Law, but because you have. Romans
5:8 “…God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God loves
you so much that He sent Jesus to take the punishment for your sins
so you could be forgiven (John 3:16).
What should you do? Pray to God and speak from your
heart. Confess your sins to God (be specific), then repent, turn
from your sins and put your complete faith in Jesus Christ alone
for your salvation. Then begin to read your Bible daily and obey
what you read. You should do this today because you may not have
tomorrow! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
