September 16: Eternity or Vanity

Eternity or Vanity

TEXT: Ecclesiastics 1-6

GOLDEN TEXT: Ecclesiastes 3:2 

 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

Discussion:

The preacher was careful to give a true perspective about our transient journey in life, he talked about, our birth, insatiable desires, our basic needs and the end of our Journey, on this side of life.

His careful consideration of all things as vanity brings the question is there anything else that has a greater value than these vanities, if there is, then it demands that we give our absolute commitment to laying hold on it.

The words of Jesus, then brings us that one thing of great, inestimable value in 

Matthew 16:26

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 

THE SOUL

The soul of man is that talent committed to man for profit, and when we shall meet the Lord whether through death or the rapture, it shall be demanded of us, how we have profited thereby, and our response determines where we shall spend eternity; the intransient life.

The question today is this, how are you preparing for the unending life, are you born again, are you free from sin, is ETERNIY YOUR PRIORITY OR THESE VANITIES?

 He who fails to prepare for eternity, is busy with vanities, that he can't spend at eternity; What a wasted opportunity.

THE EMINENT DOOM TO ESCAPE

When all of life is over you begin an unending journey you will begin to count an unending time called eternity, eternity begins once you close your eyes on earth, and into another realm you open your eyes. Here on earth your days are numbered but in eternity you will live an unending life, the decade, centuries and millenniums that cannot be numbered. However eternity will be of two destinations, some will spend their eternity in hell, while others will spend theirs in heaven. Heaven is prepared only for those who have accepted the God sent provision of entrance into heaven who is JESUS, those who fail to accept this provision will spend their doom in hell, and this people are called the sinners. Hell is the doom that awaits all sinners, it shall be a place of torture, a place of eternal punishment, in hell the flames of fire shall burn the sinners, they shall burn forever but shall not be dead for death shall have no power to take their life then. They shall groan and cry, they shall weep, they will regret, they will try to repent of their sin, when they come to realise the reality of the messages they have heard about heaven and hell, but then, it shall be too late for “…it is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment:” (Hebrew 9:27 KJV). The judgement of God awaits all sinners, and who can withstand the judgement of God? The sinners are those who have not repented of their sins, you may see them as morally OK yet before God they are filthy, because they have not been washed from the inbred sin, they might have repented at a time but they have returned to their sin, they may be working in the Church as choirs, bishop, pastors elders, and whatsoever they do in the church, however all these will not avail them of salvation, God's verdict has been given "the soul that sins it shall die¨ (Ezekiel 18:20 KJV), this death is not the earthly physical death alone but this refer to an eternal death that awaits all sinners, when a sinner dies he opens his eyes into eternity but an eternity of eternal death in hell where they will be dying but not dead, though they repent it cannot avail, for a line is drawn by rejecting the Lord, by rejecting the salvation in Christ Jesus. Woe is he that strives with his maker (Isaiah 45:9 KJV) there is a woe (DOOM) that awaits every sinners, "except you repent you shall all likewise perish". (Luke 13:5)
