You Will Live Forever, The Question is WHERE?
“And in hell (the rich man) lifted up his eyes in torment
and saw Abraham and Lazarus .
Crying out he said, 'Father Abraham have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger
in water to cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'”
Luke 16:23-25
Did you know that you will live forever, and all the things you experience now you will experience then?
Reviewing today's famous scripture of the rich man and Lazarus in the afterlife reveals
several interesting and notable facts.
First in the afterlife, we will continue to have all our senses. We will be able to see, hear,
touch and taste and have thoughts, memories, and be able to speak. The question is in what condition
will you be in at that time?
According to Jesus' words, the rich man was in agony. He cried out begging for just a drop of water,
such was his suffering, and later on in the story he pleaded for Abraham to go warn his brothers about the horrors
that they too might end up in this place of suffering. Abraham's answer to the rich man in torment is
the key to your eternal future when he said in verses 29-30 that “
They have the Law (i.e. the Word of God) and the writings of the Prophets.”
In the Bible is the answer in that God became man in Christ who came to earth, died on the cross for our sins,
and then arose from the dead. Confess TODAY with your mouth and in your heart that Christ is YOUR Saviour and LORD and you
will enjoy eternity in the comfort of God's love.
God Bless Your Day
