O eternity! (James Smith, "The Way of Salvation Set Forth") My soul is immortal--it can never cease to be. It is destined by the immutable decree of God, to exist eternally. O eternity! Who can conceive your dimensions! Forever--who can grasp the mighty idea! To exist forever--solemn consideration! Millions of ages as numerous . . . as the stars in the skies, as the sands on the sea-shore, as blades of grass on the surface of the globe, as leaves which fall from the trees in autumn --are as nothing in comparison with eternity! But where shall I exist? How will I spend eternity? In happiness--or in torment? That will entirely depend upon the character, the state, the condition, in which I live and die. If I live in sin, if I serve self and Satan, if I die accursed--then I must suffer the due desert of my deeds. But if I savingly believe in Jesus, if I live unto God, if I die under His saving grace--then I shall possess and enjoy glory, honor and eternal life--and these forever! Let the solemn fact that you are immortal, deeply impress your mind. Try to realize the overwhelming thought: "I must live forever! I must live forever in unspeakable happiness--or inconceivable misery! My eternal state depends on my present state. If I live unconverted--then I must die accursed. I am lost, and once lost, lost forever!" O eternity! Tremendous sound! Incomprehensible idea! "Then they will go away to eternal punishment--but the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 25:46 SOLI DEO GLORIA!
