One of the basic components of life, just above survival in importance, is feeling secure. We seek security through relationships, jobs, insurance policies, promises, savings, things, etc.
Because our relationships on earth necessarily involve other people, we can always be “let down.” We can lose jobs, insurance policies can sometimes be bad investments, promises can be broken, and savings can be devalued. Things that we acquire are useful only in this life and are temporary at best. The security we experience from them is soon gone and we’re insecure again.
People who feel insecure have done all sorts of bazaar things, even to taking their own lives or the lives of others. There has to be a better way.
I have heard it said that “the one who dies with the most things wins.” Actually, the one who dies eternally secure wins.” There is only one way to be eternally secure and that is to trust Jesus Christ as your savior, surrendering everything you are and all you have to His care and trusting Him for your eternal well being.
The most important form of security is “eternal security,” and it is too often neglected. The time to become eternally secure is “NOW.” Waiting is a dangerous thing. We do not know how much longer we have to live, and accepting Jesus has to be done before we die if we hope to have eternal life with Him. People seem to be hesitant to take this step, but after they do, cares and worries vanish away and they have a much happier, more fulfilled life. The joy of knowing Jesus is worth more than all the treasures of this world.
