The clock is ticking; set your house in order.

“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him (Hebrews 9:27-28 ESV).”

You don’t have to be afraid to die.

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock (Matthew 7:24-25 ESV).”

We can trust Jesus; he is the rock that rescues and redeems.

… “who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10 ESV).”

Christ Jesus has brought life to light; he is everlasting life.

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this (John 11:25b-26 ESV)? “

Martha believed; do you?

“She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world (John 11:27 ESV).”
