The soul of a person lives forever

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16

Praise JESUS


Some time back a girl came to me and initiated a talk with me about global warming. She said she is a voluntary worker and not get paid for the work she does. She said many things about global warming and I could sense a feel of worry and responsibility on her face. She worried for this planet.

Major IT companies spread the awareness of not using plastic bags. The shops in their company uses paper bag instead of plastic bags. They worry plastic takes thousands of years to get destroyed.

Peoples are taking cloth bags or paper bags to the shop to buy things.

It is stunning for me, how much awareness they created with in a short time. People are winning Nobel prizes for contributing in this and billions of dollars spent on this.

I appreciated the girl with whom I had a talk regarding the global warming and before we depart, I asked her how much she worries about her soul? The inner being of a person and the real person.

Do you worry for your soul? We should worry for our Soul at least as much we worry for the global warming if not more.

The Holy Bible tells us human beings are made in the image of GOD.
"God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" Genesis 1:26.

After the death only the shell, our body gets destroyed, but the soul, the real inner being of a person is not destroyed. It is separated from body and it lives for ever. God lives forever and the souls human being also lives forever. But where we spend our eternity is the question. GOD created two places to spend our eternity. One is the Kingdom of Heaven where GOD wants His holy people to spend their eternity and another place is hell.

Heaven is a place where we can live with GOD. The Holy Bible tells us, “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever” Revelation 22:1-5. Only Holy people who deserve to stand in the presence of the GOD can go to Heaven.

And the Holy Bible tells us hell is eternal separation from GOD our creator and it is a place of eternal torment., "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh" Isaiah 66:24.

It was created for the people who were deceived by the devil. "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ...And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" Revelation 20:10, 14-15.

Also the Holy Bible tells us, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” Genesis 6:5.

None of us qualify for Heaven in the sight of GOD.

But GOD loved us so much and He gave us a way for us to go to Heaven and live with Him forever.

The Holy Bible tells us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16 and “God was manifest in the flesh” I Timothy 3:16 and “thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” Matthew 1:21

The GOD came to this world in flesh, taken the punishment for the sin committed by the entire humanity across the ages on him. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed" Isaiah 53:5.

The Holy Bible tells us, JESUS CHRIST was crucified on the cross and rose again from dead for our sins. “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” Matthew 28:5,6

HE shed all of HIS blood on the Cross to wash our sins. “the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin" 1 John 1:7

To go to heaven, all we need to do is believe in JESUS CHRIST that He has taken our sins on himself and delivered us from sin. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvationRomans 10:9, 10.

Dear reader, if you are not sure where you will spend your eternity, you can make a commitment today to make JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and Savior. You can make this commitment by saying this simple prayer.

Dear JESUS CHRIST, I believe you are the Son of GOD, came to this world to save my soul from my sin. I believe you died on the Cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. I accept You as my LORD and Savior. Forgive me and wash away all my sins with your Holy Blood and make me a partaker of heavenly family. Amen.


Praise JESUS
