WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?

INTRODUCTION:

The question often arises, "What is life?"

We are born into this world and, from that hour onward, we are faced with death.

It is said that a ruling monarch requested his scribes to write a history of man. After many volumes had been written, he demanded that it be condensed, after which it was the size of a postage stamp:

"He lived . . . He suffered . . . He died."

In answer to the question, "WHAT IS LIFE?", the Bible gives this answer:

1. Life Is A Gift From God.

2. Life Offers A Challenge.

3. Life Has Its Joy.

4. Life Has Its Sorrows.

5. Life Is Brief.

6. Life Is Just One Step From Death (I Sam. 20:3).

7. Life Is Everlasting.

CONCLUSION:

Life is a time to prepare for death and where you will spend eternity. Make preparation for death and eternity while there is time.

May those who grieve for departed loved ones seek the fellowship of Jesus Christ, and the comfort that He alone can give.

May the peace of God and the presence of His Holy Spirit keep you in peace now and forever.
