Well, those are fine words if you are only concerned with the material world. I think it a truth that the soul of man is eternal, and lives on beyond the demise of the physical self. And that this eternal self is to be shepherded wisely. Since no lifestyle can be perfect enough to escape the laws of nature, the Good News is available to all and should be heard by all.
The Good News is that it is a Glorious thing to be a Christitan, the Most Exalted privilege of mankind. To accept Christ as Savior, Lord, and Master, and to strive Sincerely and Devotedly to Follow in the Way of Life which He taught, is, certainly, and by far, the most reasonable, and most satisfactory way to live. It means Peace, Peace of Mind, Contentment of Heart, Forgiveness, Happiness, Hope, Life, Life Here and Now, Life Abundant, LIFE THAT SHALL NEVER END.
How can anyone be so blind, or so dumb, as to go through life and Face Death, without the Christian Hope? Apart from Christ, what is tjhere, what can there be, either for This World, or the Next, to make life worthwhile? We All Have to Die. Why try to laugh it off? It seems like Every Human Being would Welcome Christ with Open Arms, and consider it the Proudest Prive\ilege of his life to wear the Christian Name.
In the last analysis, the dearest, sweetest thing in life is the consciousness, in the inner depths of our motives, that we live for Christ; and, though our efforts be feeble, we toil at our daily tasks, in hope of, in the final roundup, having done something to lay, in humble gratitude and adoration, as an offering at His feet. |
