1. You are here on this earth through no choice of your own!

2. You will leave this world through no choice of your own!

It is appointed to man once to die, “After that the judgment.”

A resurrection to life or a resurrection to damnation. (John 5:28,29)

Whosoever is not found in the Book of Life is cast out. (Revelation 20:11-15)

Any comfort you may have by not considering these facts squarely and honestly is a delusive comfort.

3. A universal question- ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRIP?

Why is it necessary for me to prepare?

Because NO ONE is naturally prepared for the trip or possess the qualifications to stand before a thrice holy God.

We come into this world unprepared to leave it.

Problem is two-fold:

We have a bad record- that needs blotted out.

We have a bad heart- that needs changed.

4. If you neglect preparing-

You will still make the trip, but unprepared, unaccepted.

You will hear the Judge say “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”

You will pray for the mountains to fall on you and hide you from Him.

Again, none by nature are ready for this trip.

God’s grace has made a way, you can leave prepared, IF YOU WANTED TO!

Christ Jesus came into the world to save some sinners.
