“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV
As explained, “Every human being is appointed to die once, and then to face God’s judgment. But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many! And now to those who eagerly await Him, He will appear a second time; not to deal with sin, but to bring us the fullness of salvation.” With the Lord Jesus Christ there is no “karma”, nor “kismet” but only one life and as Jesus said, “If you truly want to follow Me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share My Cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to My ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for My glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep. For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul? I, the Son of Man, will one day return with My messengers and in the splendor and majesty of My Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.” There is no “luck” or “chance” with Christ, salvation which is forgiveness of sins comes by surrendering our life to Him, that gains us eternal life. The finished work of Christ through the Cross put paid to all other kind of ideology and world view. Amen!
