Tiger Woods is destroying the field at the Buick Invitational this weekend. Seems like a foregone conclusion, doesn't it? Even Tiger said that they don't hand out the trophy on Saturdays. Still a lot of golf to play. But many will see the 8-shot lead and call it over, deciding the end is a foregone conclusion.
Friend, do you think your end is a foregone conclusion? Because it is, in one of two ways. The first way is if you haven't accepted Christ as your Savior yet. And that conclusion ends before the throne of God, and no matter how good you think you've been or actually been, it won't be enough to earn your way into Heaven. Because only perfection is allowed there. The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin is death. And the Bible says that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man may enter into Heaven but through Him. Without Christ, your conclusion is eternal separation from God and all that is good and holy and wonderful.
But the Bible also says that Heaven is open to all who call upon the name of the Messiah. The Bible says if you believe in your heart and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved. That conclusion is a guarantee, and unlike golf that determines its outcomes on Sundays, your outcome can be determined any second of any day. That moment you accept Christ as your Savior. And this second conclusion ends in eternity with the Almighty who loves you.
Take His outstretched, nail-pierced hand today, my friend. And see where it leads you.
