Listen from:
Your time on earth is short. Each closing year, each setting sun and each tick of the clock is shortening your days on earth. Time is swiftly, silently and surely carrying you on—on to ETERNITY and to God.
The year, the day, the hour and the minute will soon arrive that will close your life on earth. No future hour will come to bring you back to earth again. You will be there forever—for ETERNITY.
Today, your feet stand on time’s sinking sand; tomorrow, the footprints may remain, but you will be gone. Where? Into ETERNITY.
Today your hands are busy, your eyes are seeing, your mind is active; tomorrow it may all be over—the folded hands, the closed eyes may remain, but you will be gone—gone into ETERNITY.
Others were once as busy as you are, healthy as you are, thoughtless as you are. They are gone—gone into ETERNITY.
Your turn to enter ETERNITY will come soon. Ask yourself honestly, “Am I prepared for ETERNITY?” Let heaven and hell stand before you in all their reality. One of these must be your eternal dwelling-place, and today is the time to make your choice. Tomorrow may be too late—one day behind time. For which are you living? To which are you traveling? ETERNITY—WHERE?
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
