Joshua 24:15

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Barring calamities and misfortunes, life is largely a matter of choices that we make. You and I are probably where we are, doing what we do, and living as we live, as a result of choices that we have made; and there is one choice that determines your eternal destiny. Yes, you will exist forever. You will be alive and very conscious forever. You will be happy or miserable forever. It is a matter of choice. Joshua got it right when he said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY depends on what you do with Jesus. God so loved the world that He sent His son to die for our sins. But Jesus said, “You will not come unto me, that you might have life”. John 5:40. The choice is yours. What will you do with Jesus?
