Dining with Death

all be found guilty before the righteous Judge.
The good news is that unlike fugu poisoning,
there is a remedy for sin. God, who is “not willing
that any should perish” and desires “all men to be
saved” (2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4), has provided the
antidote for sin. “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” (John 3:16). The Lord Jesus Christ became
the supreme sacrifice for sin (Hebrews 9: 26) by dying
on the cross of Calvary and shedding His precious
blood. He then rose from the grave, proving
His victory over sin and death.
To be washed clean from every trace of sin and
thus be freed from its everlasting penalty, one simply
needs to come in faith to Christ, trusting Him
as Saviour. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
Don’t play with death any longer. The consequences
are too great. Take the “antidote” God has
provided for sin’s poison. Trust Jesus now as your
personal Saviour. In doing so, you will be defying
death—eternal death—choosing rather eternal life
with Christ in heaven. “He that believeth on the Son
[Jesus] hath everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him” (John 3:36).
