I was working at a booth in North Carolina. It was a Thursday and three gentlemen came in to hear the message of the beads and get a free walking stick. It turned out that of the three, one was the grandfather, one was the father and the other was the son (all three adults). I went through the gospel and found out that the grandfather and the son knew that they were saved and on their way to heaven. The father (William) wasn’t sure. William’s son turned to him and said, “Dad, we never know how much time we have. You should accept Christ as your Savior.” William was only 49 years old but he agreed with his son. He bowed his head and asked Jesus to come into his heart.
That night at home William told his Christian wife what he had done. She was overjoyed with the news. He told her that it was about time he went to church with them and, on Sunday, he did just that. William went to church and told the pastor that he had realized he was a sinner and needed Jesus in his heart. He told the pastor that he took care of that on Thursday.
Monday William went to work and came home. Tuesday, same as everyday, he went to work. The only difference was, he never made it home. On the way home from work William died of a heart attack. His funeral was on Thursday – one week after he asked Jesus to come into his heart.
William is home with the Lord now. Are you 100% sure that, if you died today, you would go to heaven?
