The life and trials of a growing Christian-Day three

Well, it's new years day and I have already missed a day (yesterday) but in my defense, I started one but got really ill while doing it so I deleted it and laid down for a while. I was going to reflect on last year, but have decided not to because it's done and gone. I started praying last night for those who were out partying and just driving in general, and have been concerned all day today as well. When we got home from church tonight I received a call from my mother telling me that my second cousin had passed away early this morning in a car accident. His girlfriend and unborn child also passed away later at the hospital. I only met him once, but but I am grieved that someone so young is gone. I don't know the details and I'm not going to speculate, all I know is that they hit a tree and two fathers don't have their precious children and unborn grandchild any more. I don't know how they were spiritually and I don't have the right to come to any conclusions, but I can tell all of you who read this that you are only one breath away from eternity. Life is fragile and the decisions we make follow us into eternity. You can decide to open your heart to Jesus or you can decide not to. There is one way to heaven and one way only. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man enters into the kingdom of heaven except by Me." (John 14:6) This is pretty self explanatory, it means that if you have not put your faith in Jesus, you will not enter heaven. Many people have not done this. They say they'll do it later, when they're old and sick, or that they don't deserve Jesus (which is correct, no one does) or they just plain ole think He's a fairy tale. Whatever the excuse, it's making sure that Hell is always growing. Jesus is the son of God. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He allowed man to beat and crucify Him, which caused His death. Three days later, He rose from the grave and was seen by over 500 people. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. If you believe this, confess it! Then, turn from your sin (repent, ask forgiveness, not from man but from God.) Then get baptized (totally submersed) as soon as possible! Baptism doesn't have to be done by a preacher, just a believer! Then, you are a Christian, a new creation, a child of God! Get a bible, read it until it falls apart, and join a bible believing church!
