“Trust in the Lord,” are words listed in thirty-two verses of the Bible. We believe those words and with that being said, we recently viewed the movie, “After Death,” in order to hear the variety of testimonies from people who have had near death experiences. Some were believers, some were atheists and others were everything in between.

I believe it is alright to be skeptical about the claims of Jesus Christ, until you come face to face with the truth, the testimonies, and the fulfilled prophecies of the Bible. It is wrong to remain rigid once you realize you have been wrong. We must choose to serve Him or ourselves.

There were atheists who expected the end of their existence when their body stopped functioning, only to discover this was not the case. Everyone remained in some form of consciousness.

People had the ability to describe their surroundings and saw their bodies as well as people nearby. Another item to remember is that none of them completely died. They eventually opened their eyes, giving descriptions of what they felt and saw. Some were being led to hell and were tormented along the way.

Jesus said to Martha in John 11:25, “I am the resurrection, and the life. He that believeth In Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

The average life of today’s male is a short 70 years of age. For women it is 73. This life is like a vapor that disappears fast. Does your life belong to Jesus Christ? This would include your mind and will, your body, your talents and your possessions. When we turn our lives over to God, we are to surrender it all, and when we see Him we’ll never be sorry we did. Invest what little time you have left in Him and for His kingdom. Whatever you’re going to do for God, do it now.
