Damien Nash

Damien Nash was a pro football player who played in college at the University of Missouri (Mizzou). He died about two weeks ago. Just dropped dead.

He had everything going for him, and it was all taken from him suddenly by the unbreakable jaws of Death. And there was nothing he could do about it.

You, too, will die someday. You will also be ruthlessly robbed by those same unbreakable jaws. And there is nothing you can do about it either.

The Bible says that there is life on the other side of the grave, Heaven or Hell, depending on how you qualify. Take a close look at yourself, because no one here will be able to speak for you on Judgment Day.

Have you ever told a lie?

Have you ever stolen anything?

Have you ever hated anyone?

If you have said yes to any of these things, please know the truth:

The Bible says, "...and all liars shall have their part in the Lake of Fire." (Rev. 21:8)

It makes it clear that no thief can enter heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

It further declares, "Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and we know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him." (1 John 3:15; see also Matthew 5:21-22)

"But," you say, "I am a good person! I don't do these things all the time!"

Try that in court: it won't work on Judgment Day either.

God is Holy, Righteous, and Just--He will punish all sin.

"Every idle word that a man shall speak, he shall give an account thereof on the Day of Judgment." (Matthew 12:36)

Every secret deed done in darkness shall be brought to the light. (see Luke 8:17)

"[You can] be sure your sin will find you out." (Numbers 32:23)

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

For those of us who can admit that we deserve to burn in Hell, there is good news:

God sent forth His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth, to take our punishment. Now, if we humble ourselves and repent, God can give us eternal life--instead of Eternal Justice--on Judgment Day.
