Live and Die in MESSIAH YESHUA

Today you live but at some unknown point in the future, we are all going to die. James tells us our life is like a vapor, here one day and gone the next. How very true. At the age of 37, I wonder where twenty years vanished. It seemed just like yesterday that I was 17. Yet, here I am climbing the hill to 40.

The minutes of your life do not take a break or pause for your benefit. Age is not controlled. Age is raw and untamed, clawing its way forward with victory regardless of the attempts to suppress it. Someday you and I--everyone living--will die. The question is, where will your soul go when you face death?

YESHUA said HE is the Resurrection and the Life and all who believe in HIM, even though HE may die, will live. That is a beautiful promise. I know where my soul is going: Home to my Master and King YESHUA the MESSIAH. What about you?

A second question we need to ask ourselves is this: If death is a certainty, why do we live like slaves to a controlled world instead of free in the LORD? Makes you wonder how you're really living your life doesn't it. It is so important to conform to enslaved ways of man instead of being free in the Love of the LORD? Not to me it isn't. We didn't see Moses worrying about waking up at 5am in order to fight traffic and work at some life suffocating job in order to pay his way through a man-made world. His life was for YAHWEH through MESSIAH YESHUA. He truly lived as a free man and when he died, he went to his eternal home.

Death can either be a prison or a door into everlasting peace. Yes, death is the punishment of sin. All sin must die. Our sinful form cannot inherit the Kingdom of YAHWEH. At death, HIS children are changed into Glory and given an everlasting body that never grows old or dies (a sinless body). Those who reject YAHWEH'S Gift given through HIS HOLY ETERNAL SON MESSIAH YESHUA will receive eternal condemnation. And make no mistake how we live our lives dictates our death; and death is a certainty. But even though we may die for a moment, in MESSIAH YESHUA, we receive Eternal Life. 

Look at all the graves in this old world---our time is coming when we too will receive a headstone with our names on it. And when your life is no more on this world, where will your soul be? It is our soul that is eternal, not our human form. Our life on this earth is just a very short trip. Where is your end destination: The love of YESHUA MESSIAH or eternal condemnation in the lake of fire?

Mock this if you want, but when you face death what false bravery you may feel now rejecting MESSIAH YESHUA will fail you quickly. For those who reject MESSIAH YESHUA there will come a time when you will cry out to HIM to save you, and HE will reject you as you have rejected HIM. Now is the time to seek HIM and accept HIS free and eternal love HE has for you and showed you when HE suffered and died on the Cross in your place. Confess with your mouth that YESHUA IS LORD AND THAT YAHWEH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD and you will be saved and delivered (Romans Ch 10).

No one lives forever, but everyone dies. But for those who belong to MESSIAH YESHUA death is only the beginning of everlasting life. For those who do not, death is the beginning of an everlasting end.
