   Do you have your Life insured?

                           Do you have your Life insured?   
      
   What do you plan for the future? Nothing is more surely than that   
   the time continues. Whatever that happen in the world, and whatever   
   that happen to us, days, weeks, months and years will continue as   
   usual. The time does not take an end, and we cannot avoid following   
   when the time continues. Therefore, we must plan for the future.   
      
   People want to have a good nursing and geriatric care as long as they   
   are living. Nevertheless, how would it be then? What that happens to   
   people after the death must be millions times more important than all   
   medical treatment and geriatric care. This questions, the most important   
   question in the life, people not even want to think of. How are people   
   really thinking before the death? It seems as most people think not at all.   
   They put this question forwad through their entire life without to decide.   
   They can read the Bible as much they want, but read it not. They live   
   their entire life, maybe some 70-80 years or more, without considering   
   how their existence will be in the eternity. The most important question   
   in the life, they leave at chance.   
      
   Life insurance they take out, if anything would happen. Nevertheless,   
   they dare live their entire life without any insurance for the eternity.   
   Life insurance is an incorrect name for it is not the life that is insured.   
   It is only economic insurance, and the dying one never gets any use   
   of it. The only life insurance, which works, is the salvation that God   
   gives through Jesus Christ. Joh. 1:12-13. When this life on the earth   
   takes the end, we have an eternal life in reserve.   
      
   Either it is hell, or it is not. Those who believe that any hell does not   
   exist and adjusts their life and way of thinking according to this theory,   
   they expose themselves for a tremendously big risk. Think if it is true   
   that is written in the Bible, then hell is also for real. None another has   
   warned so very much for hell as Jesus has done.   
      
   In Matt. 25:41, 46 Jesus tells about an everlasting fire, and everlasting   
   punishment. In Matt. 5:29-30 he says, "And if thy right eye offend thee,   
   pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one   
   of   
   thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast   
   into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from   
   thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish,   
   and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."   
      
   In Matt. 13:40-42 he says, "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned   
   in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall   
   send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things   
   that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a   
   furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."   
      
   The rich man that Jesus speaks about in Luk. 16:19-31, he says, "I am   
   tormented in this flame." Think that he still today is left there! Rev.   
   20:14-15 tells about a lake of fire.   
      
   Many believe that after the death, there is nothing. When they die, all get   
   its end. Therefore, they are entirely unprepared on what that happens when   
   they die. It is no end at all. The time just continues, and we too. You go   
   either to heaven or to hell. You can decide, but you must do it before you   
   die. After the death it is too later. You either accept and receive the   
   salvation that God offers you through Jesus Christ, and get forgiveness   
   for all sin and go to heaven, or you reject God's offering, and want not to   
   believe his word, and goes to hell, and get full retribution for all sins.   
   The unbelief is the root to all other sins, and hinders people to receive   
   God's grace to salvation.   
      
   Many do not want to read this. They reject it and want not to think of   
   such things. They mean that it will be all right, straighten itself out when   
   they die. But then they cheat themselves. It arranges not at all. If you do   
   not accept the salvation through Jesus Christ while you live here on the   
   earth, you cannot get any more opportunity to salvation. It is too later   
   after the death.   
      
   God has offered us the salvation as a gift through Jesus Christ, (Eph.   
   2:8-9)   
   but people do not want to believe in Jesus and become saved. When they   
   die, they are entirely unprepared and end up in hell. Then it is too later   
   to   
   beg God for grace and salvation.   
      
   A reason that people do not want to believe in Jesus and be saved, is that   
   they do not want to become members in any denomination, but it is not at   
   all needed. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that a Christian shall belong   
   to any denomination, or that we shall go to church. The dividing of the   
   Christians in different churches and associations, this is entirely against   
   the Bible's teaching. But the members in the denominations and churches   
   are so ingrained and practised at this, so they comprehend this as entirely   
   normally. They think that they must be members and do not dare 'roam   
   freely'.   
      
   Membership cards of free-churches and member lists have nothing to do   
   with the Assembly of God. None can with help of the Bible's word explain   
   how churches and the denominations have come into existence. It is not   
   possible for they are not founded on God's words. The bible does not   
   mention a word about any free-churches. They are all religious black-   
   buildings.   
      
   God has had tolerance with people's ignorance and lack of wisdom, and   
   people have become saved through what that have been preached. The   
   time goes, and this age goes towards its conclusion. Jesus shall come and   
   take his people up to heaven, and they must be prepared to meet him.   
   Therefore, God cannot longer tolerate that his people are bound by false   
   doctrines. The truth about the Assembly of God must become preached,   
   so that all Christians become released from churches and denominations.
