What are The odds? What are the odds of: Becoming an astronaut? 13,200,000 to 1 …of winning an Olympic medal? 662,000 to 1 13, …of being struck by lightning? 576,000 to 1 …of becoming President? 10,000 to 1 …of dying from a mountain lion attack in California? 1 in 32,000,000

What Are Your Odds of Having abundant life and of Going to heaven?

Is Going To Heaven a Guaranteed reality? OR… …is it a matter of chance …dependent upon God being in a good mood on Judgment Day, …Is it going to be like a lottery.

Are we as gullible concerning Satan’s lies as Charlie Brown Accepting any of these views result in falling for the Temptation to believe the lies of Satan! Are we as gullible concerning Satan’s lies as Charlie Brown was concerning Lucy’s promise to hold the football? Paul stated that if we did the three things he did in his life, a crown of righteousness is ours to claim (2 Tim. 4:6-8) John stated that if we are faithful unto death, we will have a crown of life (Rev. 2:10)

Though it is impossible Satan wants us to doubt the truth and promises of God regarding life and god. …when we focus more on the outward (1 Jn. 2:15-17) we will give into the temptation to not believe… …If the devil can get us to doubt our salvation, he can get us to give into other types of temptations. Though it is impossible for God to lie (Heb. 6:18), Satan knows…

Things Pertaining to Life and Godliness are not left to chance Going to heaven is not left to chance! Where we spend eternity is our choice (2 Cor. 5:9-11) Judgment is not an arbitrary exercise. (Matt. 25:31-46) Our call and election is a certainty 2 Peter 1:1-12

Living the abundant life is not left to chance! …but if we believe and live in accordance with: Romans 8:28-38 Philippians 4:13 Matthew 6:19-34 Hebrews 13:6… …then we will not live life on the basis of chance, but on the basis of faith, hope, and immutable promises! Living with the unexpected, the unexplained, and the unplanned for can create uneasiness and doubt…

We don’t have to leave what happens to us in death to chance …but for the Christian, not even what happens to us in death is left to chance! We know from Scripture that: Death is a gain (Phil.1:21) A positive gain in the eyes of the Lord (Psa. 116:15) A blessing for the faithful one who has died (Rev. 14:13) Death represents the great unknown, therefore it is feared…

But we can be sure each day that: We are going to heaven- guaranteed! Perhaps The greatest of Satan’s Temptation one could succumb to is a belief… But we can be sure each day that: We are going to heaven- guaranteed! Life can be lived with contentment- guaranteed! Death is not to be feared-guaranteed! …that everything pertaining to life and godliness is left to chance!
