Scientists tell us that our bodies are continually being renewed; old cells are thrown off and new cells are formed. Yet our individuality remains. Unlike the body, the soul is not composed of parts which dissolve or disintegrate, but it lives on-on into eternity.
Looking into Scripture we find out how this came about: “God said, Let Us [God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit] make man in Our image, after Our likeness” (
Gen. 1:26
26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26)
). Then further in
Gen. 2:7
7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
, “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
How solemn then to think that the soul of each one of us will soon be in one of two places: either heaven or hell. Sin has come in, and “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” (
Ezek. 18:4
4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. (Ezekiel 18:4)
). God is a holy God, and cannot pass by sin. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (
Hebrews 9:27
27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
). Is there an escape then from this judgment? Yes: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (
1 Tim. 1:15
15
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15)
). “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (
Rom. 8:1
1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)
).
Time is short; the opportunity to accept Christ as Savior will soon be gone. If you are not saved when the Lord Jesus comes back, you will be lost forever.
“NOW is the day of salvation” (
2 Cor. 6:2
2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2)
).
