God has given human beings only a couple of seconds in a lifetime on this earth (Psalm 90:4). A couple of seconds (Acts 17:30-31)?

“But, beloved, [BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING], that [ONE DAY IS] with the Lord [AS A THOUSAND YEARS], and [A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY]” (2 Peter 3:8), said Peter, a disciple of Jesus.

DO NOT WASTE your lifetime on this earth (John 3:16-18)!

Our lifetime on this earth is only a couple of seconds from the perspective of God (2 Peter 3:8).

“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and [HATH DETERMINED THE TIMES BEFORE APPOINTED, AND THE BOUNDS OF THEIR HABITATION]” (Acts 17:26).

“[FOR A THOUSAND YEARS IN THY SIGHT ARE BUT AS YESTERDAY WHEN IT IS PAST, AND AS A WATCH IN THE NIGHT]” (Psalm 90:4).

“GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [HATH IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HATH APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS]; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:1-3).

“And in the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained” (Acts 17:30-31).

On that APPOINTED DAY: the LAST DAY, the DAY OF JUDGMENT, the END OF TIME, when the books are opened, the prophet Daniel said: “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to [EVERLASTING LIFE], and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2)

The ONLY ESCAPE from this world is through the CROSS OF JESUS. “That whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15).

“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]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

Now then, as THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE THINGS THAT ARE ETERNAL IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST who died for us; for this purpose then WE SHOULD LIVE UNTO HIM AND NOT UNTO OURSELVES (2 Corinthians 5:15).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
