We walk along a thin red line every day, every night. God guards that space between earth and eternity. It is fragile thin, easily crossed. Pop. And you cross that line – over to the other side.
My friend just had a massive heart attack. One foot over the thin red line. I’m praying he makes it back home. But he may cross on over to the other side. The good thing is…he is ready for that crossing.
There is light and darkness on either side of the thin red line. Watch your step. You might cross the line. Are you ready to meet your Maker? You know: You are responsible. 1
Excerpt for: You are responsible
You are responsible before God for your life.
Nobody else.
And God Himself will be your Judge.
Nobody else.
How will you make your point that you thought your way was better? What can you say to a Holy God? You really think He will change His mind?
Know your final destination – now.
We walk in the Darkness until we see the Light See “Light” references and choose Jesus. Choose Him today because when you cross over – there is no more choice – no turning back.
Oops…you’re there. And it’s either Heaven, Halellujah… or Hell, saying “Oh Damn”. You’ve arrived. This is Home forever, either way. This is where you be staying.
1- Choose Jesus and stay the course, and your Eternity is the forever good of living with Creator God. In Jesus, even if you die, you will live. There is promise in Jesus.
2- Choose to stay in the Darkness, and your Eternity is forever lawless, forever lost, no light, no goodness, nothing that you want.
God is good, and those who follow Him are rewarded with everlasting good in His Holy Kingdom. Walk in the Light – not in the Darkness. You’ll be forever as glad as glad can be.

I find certainty and confidence in this fragile world – in Jesus. He is my Refuge and my strength.

You are responsible Excerpt:
You are responsible before God for your life.
Nobody else.
And God Himself will be your Judge.
Nobody else.
How will you make your point that you thought your way was better? What can you say to a Holy God? You really think He will change His mind?
Know your thinking – Save your future
Do not fear, I will help you…Fear not
God is my refuge and Strength Excerpt: In the midst of it all, I remind myself that I am born again. I am following Him. The Spirit of God has made me a “brand new creation” of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). Since that moment in time – a whole lot of changes have been goin’ on in me! Each day I will acknowledge His presence in my life. I will daily live in the knowledge of what God has changed me into.
What He has done! Amazing. What I am promised! Astounding.
Yes I can – I can stand strong
I’ve got that peace that passes understanding
Better times – forever young Excerpt: Better times are coming… when Jesus returns, this time to rescue us from the coming wrath of God (Luke 21:36; Revelation 3:10-11; Revelation 1:3). But oh how I remember those romantic dreamy days back in the 60s and 7os when I was young. (Yes, I really was!)
My salvation is “beyond the reach of change”

Jesus will rescue us soon from the wrath to come
Jesus Returns to Earth Twice in the End Times
The Other Side Excerpt:
There is a world of difference between Christ and Mohammed, between following the teachings of Christ – and following the teachings of Mohammed. Choosing Christ takes you up a very different pathway and you end-up very far from where the pathway of Islam takes you down.
Follow Jesus. He alone is God. All others will lead you away from Creator God. Don’t go to the dark side.
Passing on through to the other side Excerpt: When you pass away, you pass through a doorway, sort of, and — whoops, there you are, ready or not… kneeling before God. You have reached your final destination — a timeless realm prepared by God. Ready for that?
John 3:3
“Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again
he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
This is bliss! Being with God forever in Heaven…living with Creator God.
What it is when Hell is yours…Home then is living without anything good ever again
God and Man have free will with which to make a choice
Now is the acceptable time…Choose Him today
Tomorrow Excerpt:
Tomorrow is the fool’s day
Tomorrow may never come
I may not get older
This may be it…
So bring it on, today, tomorrow
I will not fear, I’ll not regret
I may not get older
This may be it….
That moment of IF when you choose your own thinking
Choosing God’s greater wealth rather than passing pleasures
The anomaly of “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you”
I just want to go to Hell, don’t you?
Oh my! What in Hell am I to do? Excerpt: What are we to do when we get to Hell? I have no idea. You going there? I, sure as Hell, do not plan to. We all know death is certain. The Bible tells us Heaven is real. Hell (Sheol) is real, too.
Hell is my last choice, last on my list, not what I really want
Death and Dying Excerpt: As a follower of Christ… I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of dying. My faith is in Christ See Words of Encouragement.
But the terrors of death are real Psalm 23:4. Many folk have a very real phobia of death. (Who knows how we develop any phobia!?) An extreme, controlling fear of death is not a lack of faith, but rather – a phobia. Exactly as with other phobias which are inexplicable, some Christians may somehow develop a phobia of death.
In the midst of that phobia, however, the believer can find peace in his or her assurance of salvation in Christ.
Interesting the way Hell will be eternal

Oh haunting fear of death – be gone
Oh immeasureable joy of arrival
See and Live in the Light
See references in one link, or singly: 2 Corinthians 4:4, Matthew 4:16, Philippians 2:13-15, 1 John 2:10.
2 Corinthians 4:4
among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Philippians 2:13-15
13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] [a]God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.
14 Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God], 15 so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],
…prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],
1 John 2:10
The one who loves and unselfishly seeks the best for his [believing] brother lives in the Light, and in him there is no occasion for stumbling or offense [he does not hurt the cause of Christ or lead others to sin].
Oh regret – Philippians 3:13-21 Excerpt:
…I will not stay in this regret
I will not fret and languish
I choose to leave my past as past
as Paul says in Philippians
and as I stray as weak I am
repent
go forward
learn and grow from where I’ve been
pursue His ways more surely
That sudden flash of realization saying, “Oh Damn!” Excerpt: What kind of sinner are you?
For all the unForgiven, the truth will finally come into focus and then they flop-drop into God’s Court for that final judgement. They will have a flash thought: “That God really is a Damning God! And here I am in front of Him.”
The “sting of death” will not just be the punishment of the fires of Hell. It will be the anguish of having known of God’s love and mercy long ago, and rejected it.
There is promise in Jesus
Promises God makes about your salvation…There is promise in Jesus
Seven times the book of Revelation promises blessings
God has promised – I will never, no never, leave you
We are pressured in every way but not crushed
The overcoming faith of Christ followers
“I will no never, never ever, in any way leave you in the lurch…”
“I actively press on.” How ’bout you?
Philippians 3:12
“Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on [a]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.”

About Heaven Excerpt: “When we accept Christ, the whole universe becomes our family domain! We become a child of Creator God.
In an instant, in that very moment when we confess to God and repent of our sinfulness, and acknowledge Jesus as Lord of our life, Creator God Himself cancels His decree of condemnation against us in His Court — and we are born again, made a brand new creature inside.”
– Excerpt from The Holy Spirit in You?
Heaven is going to be like this…because God is good Excerpt: What He told us it is going to be like for those who follow Him.
Pray joyfully with thanks to God for He is good
How do I get to Heaven? Excerpt: The Promise of God
Sure as Heaven I want to know what God Himself has said to this issue. Do you want to trust your eternity into the hands of puny humans?
What is your eternity based on? What others say? What others think? What others philosophize? What religions propose? Me? Not so much. God knows. That is where He is from. Mankind can only theorize. And they all are mere humans.
What has God said about getting into His Heaven?
“All the privileges and rewards of a new life with Him”…rewarded with everlasting good in His Holy Kingdom
The Kingdom of God is very exclusive, very luxurious, very special
