\"\"<\/a>What is in store for me after death? Either eternal life or eternal damnation. This is a serious thing. The Word of God says: \u201cIt is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.\u201d<\/em> (Heb 9:27)<\/p>\n

If someone is summoned to appear before a judge in court, one trembles with fear. We all shall stand before the judgment seat of God, but we fail to cover evil done by us. What would a person carrying drugs do if he knew that he will be shot to death if the drugs are discovered? He would quickly get rid of them, throw them away. Each of us carries sin. In the hour of death, however, we will not be able to enter into heaven because sin drags us to hell. The Word of God says clearly: \u201cThe wages of sin is death.\u201d<\/em> (Rom 6:23) Therefore, we must throw it away, condemn it and put it under the power of the Blood of Jesus which cleanses us from all sin.<\/p>\n

Example: A group of soldiers entered the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. They did not come to pray there but just to see the architecture, paintings\u2026 They saw a priest kneeling in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. There was a confessional near him and whoever could come to confession. The soldiers agreed on going to confession for fun. One said: \u201cI will go first!\u201d But the others did not believe him. \u201cWe bet you a bottle of champagne that you won\u2019t go.\u201d And he did go and asked the priest. 20 minutes passed and he was still inside. The soldiers asked one another: \u201cWhat\u2019s he doing there for so long? We thought he\u2019d be quick!\u201d Then the priest came out seriously, followed by the soldier. Although he won the bottle of champagne, he muttered that he would not go anywhere, for he had some business to attend to, and he ran away. What were they talking about in the confession? The priest said to him: \u201cYou are not disposed for confession. I know you have come just for fun. But listen! You are a soldier and you keep your promise, don\u2019t you? So promise me that you will pray this short prayer every evening for one week: \u2018O God, the time will come when I will die but I don\u2019t care, after death I will face judgment but I don\u2019t care, I will be damned forever but I don\u2019t care. I will go to hell, to eternal fire, but I don\u2019t care at all.\u2019 That\u2019s all, but give your word that you will keep your promise.\u201d The young soldier, exhausted by such conversation, wanted to get out as quickly as possible and so he promised to do so. The priest added: \u201cWhenever you need me, you will always find me here. But do not forget your promise.\u201d And what happened next? The soldier began the first evening but after four days he finished and went to confession. He awakened to the reality. He was converted and became a zealous Christian. The thought of the last things gives man true wisdom.<\/p>\n
