Death comes to everyone, no matter what or who you are, you come into this world, and you’ll die out of this world, if God does not come back first. Death comes to everyone’s door at least once. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment…” Hebrews 9:27. We all come into this world to die.
Ecclesiastes 9:1-6
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
When you come into this world, when you are a baby, when you first breath air, your cells begin to die. So, men who are trying to make like their controlling the world, they don’t want to die. They don’t want to get old nor look old. You can tell that they haven’t found the fountain of youth. No man lives forever. Satan has promised them “you will live forever like me.” Death, when it hits you, the only person who knows is you. The body is only a shell. This world is not the reality. The reality is, what you see is not what you get.
The time that God give you is precious, not to be wasted doing foolishness. You spend 10 years of your life on drugs, 10 years of your life on chasing women or men; then that is 10 years you can’t get back. Your clock is advanced, and runs on, and you run out of time. There are people that say “I wish I would have served God in my youth, but I served the world.” Now, they take as much time as possible to serve God. God said he would shorten our time to “threescore years and ten” Psalm 90:10. We think we have time, if death doesn’t visit you first. Young people think that they have all the time in the world. Older people say they don’t have much time left. Most people don’t want to face the fact that, if your time is short, shouldn’t you try to find out more about your creator God?
