11 1/2 Minutes Part 1

Below is Part 1 of "Can you spend11and a half minutes thinking about Eternity?"

Part 1

Someone that cares about you would like you to consider God’s gift of salvation.

If I can assure you that this won’t take more than 12 minutes of your time, would you pick up a pen, think through some questions with me, and jot down your answers as we go? (You can even check your watch to make sure I’m being straight with you about the time. Ready?

Let’s start with the question of why any of us would need a gift of “salvation”. What do we need to be “saved” from?

To understand what we would need to be “saved” from, we would first need to know that there is a heavenly courtroom where we all will one day face God, the holy and righteous judge, and give account for our lives.

Hebrews 9:27 reads,
“And as it is appointed for men to die once, after this the judgment”.

Revelation 20:11-12 reads,
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

What does the Bible say you will face in God’s court room after you die?
