The Bible teaches us how to live wonderfully, fulfilling God's plan successfully, under the authority and protection of the Creator of the Universe. The devil has deceived many, convincing them that they can wait until their deathbed to be saved. This is a lie! The evil one desires them to spend eternity with him in hell (Hebrews 3:13).

         There are two types of sin: those committed unconsciously, when we immediately recognize our wrong attitude and regret it, and those caused by falling into temptation, even when we are aware that we have sinned. Sometimes we think unconscious sin is harmless, but that is not true. If there is no repentance, what will happen to us if, at our final moment, we cannot cry out to God? We must accept Jesus now!

         In the second type, a person yields to temptation, of which the devil is a master, and takes the first step toward eternal separation from God. It's time to wake up! Man's greatest mistake is resisting God's call to a new, complete life with Him. There may not be time to escape eternal damnation. Never play games with the One who created all things!

         Anyone who knowingly sins will find it harder to be forgiven. In some cases, no sacrifice remains for their sin, only eternal damnation in the lake of fire. Let us seek forgiveness from the Most High, who desires our eternal well-being in heaven. Christ paid the price for our iniquities and now only requires our consent to cleanse us of all sin. Surrender yourself to the Savior!

         Listen to God, for He is the Truth. If someone deliberately sins after learning not to transgress and never repents, they will not obtain forgiveness and must prepare to face the Judgment. There will be no advocate there, and everyone will be forced to account for their actions. Don't delay your decision to stand with Christ; it could be too late. Now is the time to confess, receive forgiveness, and be certain you will enter the Kingdom of God (2 Corinthians 6:2).

         Today, everyone can gain eternal life by renouncing sinful deeds and turning to the One who is rich in mercy and desires all to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). If you feel the urge to accept Jesus now, it means He is standing at the door of your heart, knocking to come in and save you. Confess your sins to Him and thank Him for forgiving you right now. Receive Christ and be blessed!

         Another important aspect is how we feel in God's presence when we recognize our faults. In those moments, we must exercise humility and ask the Lord to forgive us. After all, if He has convicted us of our wrong, He surely desires to forgive us. Missing this opportunity could lead us to Judgment and eternal separation from God!

           In Christ, with love,
