What if you are wrong?

I know there are some of my friends that are wondering why I started this blog or since when have I became "this christian nut".  Working through my courses in the School of Biblical Evangelism, I have come to see how big of a sinner I truly am and what Jesus did to take away my sin debt, so that if I repent from my sins and put my faith in the Lord, I can be saved and have eternal life.  What a wonderful gift!!  I want to share this gift with everyone I know, especially my friends and family. "And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."" (Matthew 28:18-20)

If you don't believe in what the Bible is telling us then one of us is wrong.  If I am wrong, I will be ridiculed and made fun of as a God freak.  My reputation is damaged, I may loose my friends, job, family, even my life because of my beliefs.  When I die I will be buried 6 feet under ground, soon forgotten, but that will be it.  My body will decay with time but that will be it.  But if you are wrong, that is not it.  All the time you spent not keeping God's Laws and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, when you leave earthly things behind you will be judged for all your sins accordingly.  Your sentence will be the lake of fire where you spend eternity writhing in pain and anguish. Time on earth is but a moment, here today and gone tomorrow, but eternity is never ending, forever and a day.

To avoid eternity in hell, you must repent from all your sins and put your trust and faith in the Lord.  This means giving up all the pleasures of the flesh and follow Jesus without doubt or waiver.  "And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."" ( Luke 9:23)  Start a relationship with your Savior by praying and reading the Bible daily.  You don't want to be wrong about this!
