Now that’s a strange question but one that surely should be thought about. You see, it is going to happen. It is inevitable that you will die. But How? Most hope for a peaceful death, but how many experience it that way? A lot of how you die will be a result of how you have chosen to live. Not all, but most.
I watch people pass from this life to the next and have watched a peaceful type of exit, and then I’ve witnessed an uneasiness. Something like a struggle, almost like they were afraid of what was next.
Peace only comes not from wealth, because it’s not going with you. Peace comes from a promise that a person who knows Jesus Christ as their Lord can be assured of. Some people slip into a comatose setting and silently leave.
But it is what comes next. That minute after you die in the flesh here and then go to stand before Jesus Christ, to meet your fate to be beyond. That’s the way God set it up. The Bible says in Hebrews, 9:27; “It is appointed for people to die once and after that then comes the judgement.” In the judgement Jesus will judge your life according to how you choose to live, by His word or by your own.
First and foremost, you have to have repented of your sins to God, and confess Jesus as your personal Savior and made Him Lord of your life, and that just might be where many get hung up. Did they make Jesus Lord, or did they do what they wanted to do with their time, possessions, money and other things?
It is too late to repent after you’ve died, and from there the direction of heaven will come into view or the horrors of hell will cause great distress.
Make the right decisions now before that moment comes.
