A Christian living in India wrote us that the apartment he lived in had been posted “U.H.H.”-Unfit for Human Habitation-and that they had orders to “vacate immediately.” He added that “moving in this weather, and at such notice, is a fearsome thing!”
There may be a message in this for us. The Apostle Paul speaks of our bodies as “earthly houses,” and Christ tells us that the ominous “U.H.H.” is written in large letters above them. He says that “he that [believes] not is condemned already.” You may not have to move immediately, but there may be only a step between you and death.
Be sure that, whenever the call comes, if you are not ready beforehand, it will be at an inconvenient moment-it will be far worse than even having to move from your house in Mumbai [Bombay] during the monsoon!
If, however, you will come to Christ and receive Him as your personal Savior, you will be able to smile when you read the letters “U.H.H.” With all the redeemed, you will be able to answer the Lord’s words, “Surely I come quickly,” with “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:2020He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)).
“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)). If cleansed by that blood, instead of “U.H.H.” being written above your house, it will be “F.H.H.”-Fit for Heavenly Habitation.
