Everything can be going along just fine, then you get a phone call from a doctor about the results of routine tests — there’s something wrong. Maybe you have had your job for years and expected to retire there and then the company decides to increase their profits; they have to downsize and you get the pink slip. Perhaps you thought your mar riage was all right and then one day your partner comes home and an nounces that they have found some one else and they are leaving. So many ways to be disap pointed. Is there anything in this life that we can count on? Accord ing to the Bible, the Holy and In spired Word of God, there is some thing we can count on, but it is not of this world. God knows our situ ation and is always there to comfort us in our time of grief and lead us through the difficult waters. The promises of God can carry us through anything in this life and certainly into the next. That’s where my favorite Bible promise comes in. It is found in the New Testament in the first epistle of John, chapter five, verse thir teen. Here the Word of God says, “I write these things to you that be lieve in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” According to this verse, those who believe that Jesus Christ died in their place, for their sins on the cross of Calvary, can know, right now, their eternal destiny. That’s the best assurance I’ve ever Castor's ‘Ten Rev. Don Satterwhite First Baptist Charcli, Raeford been given. Ever since I trusted Jesus Christ as my only hope for heaven — nearly 35 years ago, I’ve been absolutely sure that I'm going to heaven. It’s not because of any thing I ’ve done for God, but instead it is completely based upon what Jesus has done for me How about you, do you know that you have eternal life? If you don’t, you can. Just place your trust in Jesus Christ as the one who died for you. How do you do that? You can pray a simple prayer of faith, perhaps you could say something like this: “God, 1 know that I’m a sinner and I don’t deserve to go to heaven. Right now I believe that when Jesus Christ died on the cross he died there for me. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins. I'm trust ing in Jesus Christ alone to get me to heaven. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name. Amen” If you will pray that simple pray of faith, and mean it, God promises to make you a member of his for ever family. I’d like to hear from you, if as a result of reading this column you are trusting in Jesus Christ to give you eternal life. You can write me at 711 N. Magnolia St., Raeford, NC 28376 or e-mail meat PastorDT^faGfeom. Hope to hear that you now know you have something you can be sure of. Bell graduates from basic Army Pvt. Tisha M.
