I have to face life. I have to face death. I have to face judgment. You also have to face life, death and judgment.
I don’t know how you are going to do that. I don’t think we can face life, death and judgment without the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s why I have decided to follow the LORD Jesus Christ.
I don’t know if you are you familiar with the hymn “I have decided to follow Jesus,……..” The words of the hymn are by Anon.
In John 8:12 the Lord Jesus Christ says: “‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
I can face life, because I can say with the hymn writer “Because He lives I can face tomorrow;…” The hymn is written by Gloria and Bill Gaither. The Lord Jesus Christ is alive.
In Hebrews 9:27 we read, “It is appointed unto men once to die.”
I can face death because I can say with the apostle Paul, “‘Where, O death is your victory? Where , O death is your sting?'” First Corinthians 15:55. We read also in First Corinthians 15:54: “‘Death has been swollowed up in victory.'”
In Hebrews 9:27 it says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
I can face judgment because I can say with the apostle Paul, “Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,…” Romans 8:1
The hymn “I have decided to follow Jesus,…” has four verses. In verse four the question “Will you decide now to follow Jesus?” is asked three times!
