Three things you will not hear on the Day of Judgment
The concept of a coming Day of Judgment is not a fantasy or fable. It is a fact. Paul told the people in ancient Athens that God "hath appointed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness" (Acts 17:31). All people that have ever lived on the earth will be brought before the throne of God, and His glorious Son will judge each of them (Matthew 25:31-33). Some things will be missing on that great day, so do not expect to see or hear them.
(1) On the Day of Judgment, no one will say, "There is no God."
According to the Bible, that is what fools say while living in this world (Psalm 14:1). However, on Judgment Day this truth about God will be clear to all: "He is" (Hebrews 11:6). So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14:12).
(2) On the Day of Judgment , no one will say, "One religion is as good as another."
On that day all will know without a doubt that only through Jesus can people come to the Father (John 14:6). All will see that only those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb are redeemed from past sins (Revelation 5:9), and the only way for His blood to keep on cleansing a person is for that person to continue to walk in the light of His word (1John 1:7).
(3) On the Day of Judgment, no one will say, "I regret that I did my best to follow Jesus faithfully."
Friends, the crown of life is for the faithful - PERIOD (Revelation 2:10). It is the good and faithful servant who will hear on that day, "well done....enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" (Matthew 25:23). Regret such a reward? NEVER!! Every service attended, every prayer offered, every minute spent in Bible study, every visit made, every mile driven or walked for the Cause-all of this and so much more will make us think, as the old hymn says, "Heaven will surely be worth it all."
May we all give diligence to make our calling and election sure (Peter 1:10-11).

The Architect of the universe has provided instruction so that we can find our way, since we could not find it ourselves (Jeremiah 10:23). "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105). God has revealed that the only way to Heaven is through His Son Jesus. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).Sin causes us to lose our way and will cause us to be lost eternally (Romans 6:23). However, because of His great love for us, God gave His Son to die on the cross for our sins, that we might have the forgiveness of sins and the hope of eternity with Him (Ephesians 1:7).
...The way to Heaven through Christ has been illuminate for us in Scripture. We must: believe in Jesus (Acts 17:30-31). Then, if we continue to follow Jesus faithfully, He will lead us to our eternal home (1John1:7).
It is overwhelming to try to navigate through life without the proper guidance. In fact, without the proper direction we are lost! But thanks to the loving Architect of life, we can "find our way" to an abundant life now and eternal life to come through Jesus (John 10:10; Romans 6:23).

The Sinner's Prayer
Dear God,
I realize I have sinned and my life isn't what it should be, and I'm very sorry. I also realize that you sent Jesus, Your only Son, to be a sacrifice for me just like the Bible says in John 3:16. I don't understand how You could love me enough to send Your only Son to die for me but I know You did. I really want to make a change in my life and I can only do that if You will help me. I want Jesus to come into my heart and live so my life will reflect the love You have shown for me. Please forgive me of my sins and take my life and lead me in the way I should go. Thank you for Your saving grace!! Amen
