Immortal

Do you realize that you are immortal until God calls you home?  We all have a predetermined time in which our life on earth will end.  Until that time we are immortal.  This reminder is invigorating!  It is the impetus to take risks.  (Not unnecessary ones, but taking risks for Jesus Christ).  -To not be afraid of the unknown.  Knowing full well that our lives are in the hands of the Lord.

"To live is Christ and to die is gain."  Philippians 1:21.  Paul reminds us that it's a win-win situation.  Living here on earth is a life sustained by Christ.  To die is even better because we will be with Him in eternity.  Sweet!

Have you made the decision to risk it all by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?  If not, say a prayer and invite Him into your life right now.  If you've already accepted Christ, choose to put your life on the line today (Luke 9:23) and live for Him.  No, it's not easy.  You may face persecution, embarrassment, or rejection.  Ultimately you may even face physical death in the name of Jesus.  But remember, until that day comes...we are immortal!
