--Friends, we must use spiritual discernment from God the Father through Jesus Christ to allow the Holy Spirit to interpret Scriptures to us. These three are One, and work together to bring about salvation, the only way to Heaven.

---"A Realistic View of Life"
--(By: IN TOUCH/ Charles Stanley)
---(Please Read/ 2 Timothy 4:6-8)-

Our culture desperately tries to postpone death. Vitamins, exercise, and diet are ways we attempt to live as long as possible. Not that these things are bad! Motive, however, is key.

For instance, since our bodies are God’s temple (1 Cor. 3:16), we should take care of His dwelling. And since He has good works for us to do (Eph. 2:10), we should stay fit to complete His tasks.

On the other hand, prolonging life for fear of dying isn’t of God.. Because Jesus died in our place, those who have faith in Him as Lord and Savior need not fear death. Once saved, we have assurance of a real place where we will live eternally in His presence. And according to Scripture, fear itself isn’t from God (2 Tim. 1:7). In fact, the apostle Paul assures us that far from being a dreadful change, physical death actually leads believers home to be with the Lord forever (2 Cor. 5:8).

God already knows the duration of each person’s life. With this in mind, how can we best prepare for what’s next? The first step is to receive Jesus as Savior through faith.
-Next, we should live a surrendered life and strive to walk according to His will. Furthermore, it is vital that believers fight the tendency to view this world as home. If we become too comfortable here and look for security and worth in earthly success, we won’t be able to maintain an eternal perspective.

It is an inescapable fact that our time on earth is temporary. It would be foolish not to prepare for something inevitable. How can you best live so that you are ready when God decides your life span is complete? (Psalm 139:16).

[We read in Hebrews Chapter 11 regarding those who died in faith, (Old Testament), without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. These people will be in Heaven. They are saved. (Read VSS. 13-40)

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast." [Ephesians 2:8-9]

'Jesus said, "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved." (John 10:9) ]
