“Having now been justified by
His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” (Rom.
5:9, NKJV)
Read Romans 5:1-11
“Just as her friends were doing, my
daughter Melissa was busily preparing for adulthood. At school, she was getting
ready for college by taking the right courses and had signed up for the ACT
college entrance test.
Outside of class, Melissa was learning
the socialization skills it takes to get along with people by spending time
with friends, classmates, and teammates. At her job, she was learning the
relational skills needed for a future career of work. A home, Mell was
preparing for future family life by experiencing the way a Christian family
would interact.
Getting ready for life as an adult takes
work, and Melissa was making good progress.
But none of that preparation was
what she would need. In 2002, when she died in a car accident at age 17, the
only preparation that mattered was her readiness for heaven.
When the truest test of preparedness
came so suddenly on that beautiful June evening—when eternity’s door opened for
Melissa—she was prepared. She had put her faith in Jesus and trusted His
sacrifice on the cross for her sins (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8-9).
When she faced the ultimate test of
being prepared, Melissa was ready. Are you? —Dave Brannon
And
swiftly the seasons roll;
Today
is yours, it may be your last;
Choose
life for your priceless soul. —Fithian
If
death comes today,
will
you be prepared to meet God?”

“We’ll
be reunited one day
With
our loved ones who have died
If they
know the Lord as Savior—
Then
with Him we will abide.—Sper
God’s
people never say goodbye for the last time.”
