Are You Ready to Die? - by Pastor Mike Taylor -http://www.churchofgod-usa.org/1/post/2016/02/are-you-ready-to-die.html
John 11: 25, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:"
Hebrews 9:27 " And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
Of all the trials of this life, when they are ended, there is nothing that gives the average man on the street more anxiety than thinking of his own death. Most don't want to think about that time. The young never think about it, as they are full of life, and to them, they are virtually immortal. Sadly, many come to the realization too soon, that life is fleeting and very fragile and must be guarded with caution and utmost regards as to it's safety. Every man and woman alive wants to put off that inevitable outcome of being alive, their death. That is the finality of death.
Men in their darkened hearts deny the existence of God. They are called atheist, as they see no need for God. They believe in themselves only, and deny a life after this one.
Psalms 14:1, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."
Paul reprimanded such thinking in Romans chapter 1:20,
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
So men seeing the world and it's creation, and clearly see the wonders of an intelligent design that even many atheist have proven by science, could not have happened by chance, or by evolution as it has been proven impossible. Then there is no explanation for what we see with our own eyes, but a Supernatural Being in our universe that made the earth, heavens and all that exist in this world by One author, we call God Almighty., namely Jehovah, the God of the Bible. If we are honest with ourselves and acknowledge that we have been gloriously made, how do we discover this supernatural power that has it's beginning with the God of creation? We begin with the only written revelation of His power and His authority, and that is found in your bible. It is God's only communication with man during the times we live in that He has chosen to reveal Himself to a sinful creation that we have become. That Bible has survived 1000s of years to be revealed in the last days for one purpose, for God to reveal Himself to us, the generation of the last days of the Age of Grace.
