The dawning of a new year serves to<br />

remind us that we are all marching through<br />

time, heading for eternity. Awaiting each<br />

traveller is either a glad and glorious Heaven<br />

in the presence of God, or a sad and<br />

sorrowful Hell,<br />

banished from<br />

God. The eternal<br />

Son of God<br />

entered into<br />

time as the man<br />

Christ Jesus to<br />

make a way for<br />

sinful man to<br />

approach God<br />

and enter into<br />

life eternal. His<br />

death, burial<br />

and resurrection<br />

have fully<br />

accomplished<br />

this objective so<br />

that Jesus now proclaims, "I am the way,<br />

the truth, and the life. No one comes to<br />

the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).<br />

To personally "seek the Lord" is to realise<br />

that Christ died for your sins, and to<br />

trust His shed blood as the full and powerful<br />

payment needed to wash your sins<br />

away. "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son<br />

cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). On<br />

the basis of Christ's atoning sacrifice, God<br />

abundantly pardons the repentant sinner<br />

and makes him a child of God forever.<br />

"Christ also<br />

suffered once for<br />

sins, the just for<br />

the unjust, that He<br />

might bring us to<br />

God" (1 Peter<br />

3:18). See also Romans<br />

5:10; 2 Corinthians<br />

5:21; 1<br />

John 3:1,2.<br />

But you<br />

must seek Him<br />

now, "while He<br />

may be found",<br />

while there is still<br />

time, before you<br />

pass into eternity.<br />

In view of the uncertainty of life, how important<br />

it is to "Prepare to meet your<br />

God" (Amos 4:12), through faith in Christ<br />

as your personal Saviour! This alone will<br />

enable you to experience a truly "Happy<br />

New Year"—and look forward to a glorious<br />

eternity with absolute certainty.<br />
