Eternity is real, and we will all face it when we take our last breath. These five Bible verses show us how to be ready for that day.
Five Verses:
- Hebrews 9:27 | After you die, you will stand before God to be judged for your actions and choices on earth.
- Romans 3:23 | Every human sins and falls short of God’s standard. This makes judgment day bad news.
- Galatians 1:4 | Jesus went to the cross to rescue us from the coming judgment. As God, he lived a sinless life and died a criminal’s death in our place.
- Romans 10:9 | We’re saved by placing our faith in the finished work of Jesus, not by anything we can do. Every human being is personally responsible for making this faith response.
- Revelation 21:4 | For those who have placed their faith in Jesus, there is nothing to fear in death. Heaven is a place of joy and freedom beyond our wildest imagination.
A Sinner’s Prayer:
“Jesus, I recognize I’m a sinner. I know that you died on the cross and rose from the dead so that I could have life. I’m turning from my sin now, and I’m turning to you in faith. I trust in you alone to forgive my sin and give me new life. Thank you for this free gift. Amen.”
Discussion:
- What is your initial reaction to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- What do you think will happen when you die? How confident are you in your belief?
- Read Romans 3:23. Do you agree that everyone sins? Why or why not?
- If God were to judge you today based on your actions and choices, how would that go?
- Read Romans 3:22. What does it mean to be made “right with God”? According to the verse, what must we do in order to have that?
- If you haven’t already, are you ready to trust Jesus for your salvation? Talk about getting to your faith moment.
