Your Biggest Gamble

“For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith--and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God--not by (your good) works, so that no one can boast.”

Ephesians 2:8-9

Are you a "Gambler?"
Most of us are not in the usual sense, but actually most people are gambling on the most valuable thing they have...and don’t even realize it.
It is a gamble to not plan for retirement. Everyone gets old and is unable to work, so WE NEED TO SAVE. Social Security, 401Ks, and IRAs are wise investments to help care for us in the future, but what about your eternal future?
Here, most people just ‘throw the dice’ and say, "I’ll be OK. I’m a good person, I’ve lived a good life, so I’m going to heaven." If you are one of those people, you are BETTING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ON ONE ROLL OF THE DICE.
The ultimate authority for this is not what you think, but on what God says about it. Today’s verse in Ephesians says it is not our "goodness" that saves us, but it is the "Gift of God through FAITH." The ultimate "savings" of our lives is not what we do or have on the earth in this life, but what we invest in eternity. To do that, YOU MUST BE SAVED.
It is not; HAVE YOU SAVED, but ARE YOU SAVED? Have you invested your eternity in Faith in God, or on your own earthly assumptions that "everything will be OK?" If so, you are gambling not just your life, but your entire eternity on one roll whether your most precious stock, your soul, goes up or down.
Invest your soul in God’s hands. Put your trust in Christ today.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt"

Matthew 6:19
