Today, I am going to tell you how you too can attain immortality.
It might seem impossible, unreachable, or unattainable…but it can be done and the simple answer is…
Jesus!
Most of us come to Christ for salvation in a similar way; we accept Him as savior, get involved in church (or continue if already involved), and then lose sight of what's important. Somewhere between the bustle of VBS, fall festivals, and Christmas pageants we forget why we are here and exactly what that means.
Of course, we know about salvation in Christ but we become complacent in it.
We forget we have been given eternity, forever, immortality.
I think it's difficult for us to really comprehend forever. Just think about eternity for a second and what that means.
If you've ever bought a house, you know that most of us get nervous over a 30-year mortgage, but we are talking perpetuity, infinity, never ceasing to be with our Lord.
When we are young we think that we will never finish school, but that is a drop in the bucket compared to eternity.
The point is, time, in the eternal, is difficult to imagine. But that is exactly what we gain through Christ, we gain eternity. Even non-Christians know John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Hollywood likes to portray immortality as someone that cannot be killed on earth, but who wants to live forever on earth with all its problems?
We have been promised immortality with our savior in paradise…that is far greater than anything that Hollywood can offer.
Many Christians and critics of Christianity forget to think eternally.
We, as Christians, get down when things go wrong, but this life is fleeting. We feel like we just can’t catch a break, and that somehow God has been unfair to us, but He has given us everything, including the gift of immortality. Non-believers use a Christian down on his luck in this life as proof that God is not real, but once again, they are not thinking eternally, they are thinking ephemerally.
Our reward is not here regardless of what a prosperity teacher will tell you, we have no promise for here.
But we do have one for eternity.
So, I’ll take Christ…how about you?
