    Death, it’s one of the biggest events that will ever take place in your life. We face death everyday, conscious or unconsciously of it; death lurks around every corner of our life. Like a lion waiting to catch its prey, death comes for us all in many shapes and form; seemingly there is no one who can escape from the jaws of death. But did you know there is a reason why we die? The idea of death you’re familiar with is only the tip of the iceberg. See we die because we’ve sinned against God. Sin according to the bible is wages ” for the wages of sin is death ” (Romans 6:23).

    Everyone has turned to their own ways trying to determine for themselves what is right and wrong. Humanity are lovers of sin rather than lovers of God. As a result, God has given us over to a depraved mind that lust after shameful things. Because man sinned against God, we live in a fallen world, it was once perfect, but now in ruins; with diseases/sickness, natural disasters, riots, racism, etc. All manner of evil plagues the world because we sinned against God. Now that sin exists, God is coming to judge the world In righteousness. So Death is an arresting officer that brings you into the courtroom of God. “The soul that sins shall die” “It’s appointed a man once to die and after this judgement” (Hebrews 9:27) The standard he’ll judge you by is the 10 commandments, God’s moral law. He’s so serious about sin that he gave anyone who sins the Death sentence. The punishment is the eternal fires of Hell ” Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:42)

    Do you think you’re Good enough to enter heaven safely when you die? Here’s how you can be sure:

    A Test: based on the 10 commandments 1. Thou shall have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shall have no idol. 3. Thou shall not take God’s name in vain. 4. Thou shall honor the day of Sabbath. 5. Honor thou mother and father.6. Thou shall not murder. 7. Thou shall not commit adultery. 8. Thou shall not steal.9. Thou shall not lie. 10. Thou shall not covet.

    – Have you ever lied in your life?• Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in the heart,- Have you ever looked at anyone with lust?‐ Have you used God’s name as a curse word?- Have you ever stolen anything big or small?- Have you ever Hated someone?• Jesus considers it as murder in the bible.

    If you said yes to just one of them then you’re already guilty in God’s eyes ” for whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just

    one point is guilty of breaking all of it. ” (James 2:10) Therefore, God says ” neither liars, nor blasphemers, nor adulterers, nor thieves nor murderers will inherit the kingdom of God”. You have to face God on judgement day with all of your sin, even the secret ones.”The soul that sins shall die “(Ezekiel 18:4) and they are destined for Hell

    Don’t rely on your own Goodness or Good works to save you. Do not be deceived neither you, your friends, family, a priest, a pastor, religion, nor attending a church can save you. That’s like bribing God to let you into heaven. “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23)”But we are all like an unclean thing, and all of our righteousness are like filthy rags; we fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like wind have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

    God’s definition of “Good” is morally excellent and none of us can match his goodness. “No one is good except God alone.” (Luke 18:19) Because he is a Good God, he’s a lover of righteousness and justice, he must punish all who sin. God cannot simply forgive you alone for your sins because his wrath against all sinners must be satisfied. But God takes no pleasure in sending anyone to hell, God wants to forgive you for your sins.  Do you know what he did for guilty sinners?

    2000 years ago, God became a human being, “God was manifested in the flesh”( Jesus of Nazareth, Son of God.)

    “He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

    But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed  we all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers was silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgement he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

    Yet it was the LORD’S will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offering and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53: 2-12)

    The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, we broke the law Jesus paid the fine. So God can let you go even though you’re guilty. “He saved us not because of righteous things we’ve done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5)

    “God demonstrates his own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) “Death was swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:54)

    (1) All you need to do is confess and repent ( turning away completely) from all your sins to God alone; no other person.

    “He who covers his sin will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”  (Proverbs 28:13) 

    “If we confess our sins, he is faithful to and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

    “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)

    Repentance is a continual process and not a one time thing.

    (2) Have Faith in Jesus Christ alone, trusting him like a parachute on the day of God’s wrath.

    “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what is not seen ” (Hebrews 11:1)

    If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)

    “For by grace you are saved through faith and not that of yourselves; it is a free gift of god, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

    (3) Then surrender to God by letting God guide you in all your ways, through the bible; KJV recommended. Only God can save you not people.

    “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. it teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and live self controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,” (Titus 2:11-12)

    “For Christ also suffered once for sins, just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. “(1 Peter 3:18)

    Through Jesus you’ll be born again.

    “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) 

    Jesus you will be given a new heart that desires righteousness and what is Just.

    “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21) “This righteousness is given through Faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” (Romans 3:22)

    “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God’s Grace that he lavished on us.” (Ephesians 1:1-8)

    You’ll be free from the control of sin through Jesus and you’ll be added to his new family. 

    ” His purpose was to create in himself a new humanity ” (Ephesians 2:15)

    “But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature;” (Galatians 5:13)

      When Are You Going To Get Right With God?

      Remember this is your eternal life and God is offering it as a free gift. This is about your life, the cleansing blood of Jesus and his salvation. 

      I am the way, the truth, and the life. no one comes to the father except through me (John 14:6)

      “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

      I encourage you to get right with God now and cry out to him. Because you don’t know when you’ll die. If you die in your sins you’ll be destined for hell.

      You either believe or reject this offer, It’s your choice. I’ll leave you with this: “What shall profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ” (Mark 8:36) 

      If you’re taking this seriously, Would you like a prayer? This prayer is not a guarantee that you’ll be saved, that’s between you and God. However, I’d like this to be a good start for your journey.    

      “Father, I thank you for this person’s open heart and ask that he/she would repent and trust alone in Jesus christ. I also ask that you guide their steps on their journey so that they would pass from death to life. In Jesus name amen.

    Well that’s one way to say that one part of your company is thriving and the other is dying. Seriously, What does IBM do besides cloud solutions to have two companies for it ?
