27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, ~ Hebrews 9:27
In the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Captain Barbossa states a grim but true statement to Captain Jack Sparrow as he comes to terms with their inevitable future deaths. He says, “There’s never a guarantee of coming back. But passing on, that’s dead certain.”
I’ve heard people say that in the next life they’ll do better. Or next time around they’ll do things differently. There’s entire religions that believe that you will be reincarnated until you get it right, but that there is just a false hope.
See, we only get one life. One chance to get things right. One chance to fulfill our call and follow Christ. There is only one opportunity for your name to be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life in order to gain eternity with Christ Jesus.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Get It Right The First Time Around.
