WHO AM I TODAY?

This, I believe, is a question 

every living soul on Earth 

should consider FREQUENTLY!

I bring this topic forward because - as I write this - I am 72 years of age. At my current age, the answer to this question is even more difficult to answer than it was when I was 12 years old. 

Why? Because today I have more personal history to consider then I did when I was twelve years old. I have sixty more years of thoughts and actions, for which I will be held accountable on the Day of Judgement. 

The Great White Throne Judgment: Described vividly in Revelation 20:11-15, is the ultimate courtroom of God where all the dead are resurrected to stand before Him.

The Books and the Book of Life: Humanity is judged by what is written in "the books," representing their deeds, thoughts, and motives. Those whose names are recorded in the "Book of Life" are spared. 

I was twelve years of age when I accepted that God is real, and that everything recorded in the Holy Bible (sans the Apocrypha) is trustworthy. 

HOWEVER... I have not lived my life accordingly! 

Like most people (and this is not an excuse... I'm just saying...) I have lived my life "by the seat of my pants". That is to say, like the majority of us do. Selfishly and self-centered to the core! 😏 

Any day now, my time on this earth will expire and I will have the (ahem) JOY of standing in front of THE ONE who paid the penalty for my selfish, self-centered, indiscretions (sins). I know I will be ("hoping like hell") that 'His Shed Blood' will sufficiently cover-over the thoughtless, reckless, and hurtful deeds that I committed "frequently and with aforethought". 

But I know --without a doubt-- that I will not hear Him say to me...

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of your lord." --Matthew 25:21 & 23 KJV 

Instead, I will hear...

"...cast this unprofitable servant into outer darkness: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." --v30 

Why?

BECAUSE I KNEW BETTER AND I DID IT ALL ANYWAY!!! 

Do not imitate me or anyone like me! 

Going to Hell is not a given! TURN NOW (repent) from living to please yourself! Do it now before it is too late! 

If... in your HEART OF HEARTS... you believe in the content of the Holy Bible, do not WILLFULLY COMMITT spiritual suicide by living and doing anything and everything that pleases you but goes against the will of God (His desire for you). 

In a strange sense, you can save yourself a lot of pain and heartache, by denying yourself worldly (physical) pleasures now, in favor of Eternal, spiritual blessings! 

Choose Wisely!
