In the book of James chapter 4 and verse 14, we have another interesting stat. God says “…..What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time. and then vanisheth away.” Ask any senior citizen how long the have lived and most likely their answer will be something like… ” it seem like it was only yesterday that I graduated high school, or got married.”. It is then we realize this truth about life. It is indeed short, and quickly fleeting,
It is based on this God given truth, that life is fleeting and that death is rushing at us, that we need to prepare TODAY for our tomorrow. One does this prep by receiving The LORD JESUS CHRIST has our personal savior. Then we need to live each day for our LORD by attending church and sharing the good news that JESUS died for ALL sinners and show them the way of salvation.
