The past month in Jacksonville has seen two industrial accidents in which people died. The first involved a multi-story concrete garage that collapsed. One man was killed as a result. The second was a fuel tank that blew up killing four people and injuring about 14 more. The tank was located at a fuel additive facility in which chemicals are mixed with fuel to produce the additive. For reasons unknown (at least for now) one of the tanks blew up sending flames 600' into the air. The percussion was felt as much as a mile away; breaking windows and knocking people down. Both of these events were obviously unplanned and unforseen.
None of these people planned to go to work and die. None of them knew that day that it would be the last day on earth and the last day of this life. My prayer is that they all were believers in Jesus Christ. For, if they are, the moment they died, they were immediately face to face with Jesus Christ. That is why it is so very important to, "get your soul straight" as the saying goes. Everyone of us could die at any time. The Bible tells us that we all have an appointed time to live on the earth, and after that, the judgment. The question that must be answered; which judgment will you be a part of? Will it be the Bema seat judgment or will it be the Great white throne judgment.
The Bema seat judgment is for beleivers only and will take place in Heaven during the tribulation. The great white throne judgment is for unbelievers only and will take place at the end of human history.
Salvation is simple. Faith alone in Christ alone. Thats it, nothing more. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
So, be ready. You never know when your time to leave this earth will come.
