![]() But how? Do you love Him the way Jesus wants you to? With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your understanding? Ask yourself right now: “How am I doing in this respect?” Most probably you will say: “I love God!” Of course you do. “ If you want to inherit eternal life, you must love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your understanding.” It is important not just to know about it, but also to act accordingly in order to live eternally. When a teacher of the law asked Jesus: “What do I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied: “What does the law say?” The teacher of the law knew the laws and abode by them strictly, but it only caused him to neglect God and mock Jesus. God expects us to work hard, be 100% dedicated, have a heart ablaze, and love devotedly. All of us! It does not matter what titles you have or what you do. “ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ”, 2 Corinthians 5:10. Our Lord is most of all worried about His children that is why He is sending us a strong warning: “ Therefore watch for you do not know what hour your Lord comes” ( Matthew 24:42) and then again: “ Therefore you also must be ready” ( Verse 44). If you are in sin you can repent, but if you are under the spirit of deep sleep, if your first love for God has cooled down, then you will not even notice any changes and think that everything is logical, right, and just the way it is supposed to be. Such state – not cold, but warm – is worse than sin. You can compare them to those five foolish virgins, who were left behind the shut gates. He will have to vomit them out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16). On the contrary, they give the wrong idea about Christ, His life, and the Gospel. Their lives are not lights of this world. They live by the flesh, allow sin in their lives, tell lies, offend, argue, and envy. Unfortunately, many believers think about the material things of this world more than about things which are above, about heavenly things. Where do we go after death? My heart aches when I see indifferent, lukewarm Christians, who stand one foot in church, and the other in the world those who do not treasure God most of all, and whose hearts are filled with the vanities of this world. In what state is our church and each of us individually today? It is written: “ …And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment”, Hebrews 9:27. Today I would like to talk about those of us who know and believe. Jesus Christ Himself came to earth to warn us about it. But the most important is that He repeatedly tells us about it in His Word. And God Himself edifies us through dreams, visions, signs, and prophecies. So what right do you have to bother me with this empty talk?” However, they are ignorant of the fact that numerous stories of people, who experience clinical death, testify about Hell and Paradise. Hell and Paradise are real! When we discuss them outside of church, people do not believe us, saying: “You have not been there no one has ever returned from there.
