Urgent: You Are Only One Breath Away From Eternity!

The concept of eternity is central to the teachings of Christianity, as laid out in the Bible, and emphasizes the brevity and fragility of human life. The idea of an eternal life, either in Heaven or Hell, is a fundamental belief that shapes the faith and actions of millions of believers worldwide.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this belief is the notion that our eternal life is just one breath away, and our lives can change in the blink of an eye. The message is clear: our time on Earth is fleeting, and we must be prepared for the eternal life that awaits us at any moment.

LIFE IS FLEETING

Psalm 103:15-16 (NIV) says “The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.”

This passage highlights the brevity of human life, comparing it to the brief existence of grass and flowers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PREPARATION

The Bible also emphasizes the importance of being prepared for eternity.

Philippians 4:8 (NIV) says “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

This passage encourages believers to focus on eternal things and to be prepared for the day when they will stand before the Lord.

Matthew 24:44 (NIV) says “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

This verse highlights the importance of being prepared for the Second Coming of Christ and the judgment that will accompany it. We must be vigilant and ready to face our eternal fate at any moment.

THE BIBLE REMINDS US OF THE REALITY OF ETERNITY

Eternity is never ending and is where our soul will reside after our physical death.

John 12:25 (NLT) says “Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.”

Romans 6:23 (NLT) says “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14 says “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.”

Hebrews 9:27 (NIV) says “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,”

CONCLUSION

The Bible teaches that eternity is just one breath away and encourages us to focus on eternal things. This concept underscores the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God, constantly striving for righteousness, and being prepared for the judgment that awaits us.
