Unknown


I was thinking about what most people were afraid of so I googled "what are most humans afraid of.” There I found that some were afraid of "reality," some said making "mistakes," one said "Michael Jackson," the "dark," being "controlled" and many more. The number one fear was "Death" and the number one reason was because it's "unknown." the word death is mentioned 342 times in the Bible and in those 342 times can we really say it’s unknown? Can something be talked about that much and we say we know nothing about it? I think not. We read of one man dying and finding himself in a placed called hell. We read of another man dying and finding himself in a placed called paradise. We read of another man being told that today you're going to paradise. Do we just write these accounts of death off and say it is unknown? Oh, that's right one must believe in the Bible to believe these accounts. What if your boss told you 342 times about one thing would you be able to say you didn’t know anything about it; it’s unknown to you? Would it be of any interest to you to know why one man went to paradise and one man went to hell? What made the difference? Was one a good person and the other just rotten to the bone? What's interesting about these two is that one man had plenty of money and the other had nothing. One had plenty to eat and the other had none. Do you think it could be what these men put their trust in that made the difference? There is nothing wrong with having money and nice things as long as a person doesn’t put their trust in them. This is what we know, one man had plenty in his life time many years ago and died and went to hell. The other man had nothing many years ago and today has more than enough. You'll find this story in the book of Luke chapter 16 verses 19-31. The answer to the unknown is found here.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The unknown is found in Jesus.
