Eternal salvation of the soul
The possibility of a new terrorist attack in the country, or even a deliberate attack for unknown reasons, generates tension between people. Regardless of the motivations, actions like this that result in life-threatening tragedies immediately lead us to reflect on our spiritual condition .
Are we really prepared for the day we die or that of a loved one? Because, in fact, physical death can come to anyone, just as it did to the nearly 60 people who enjoyed themselves in Las Vegas, without thinking that something terrible was about to happen. For those present there, that would be another normal day , in which they would take care of their chores and get home to sleep and get ready for the next day.
Therefore, keeping your spiritual life up to date is essential, as death does not arrive with an appointment. How many postpone a resolution as important as surrendering their lives to God, here and now, and take an unnecessary risk for doing so? Many prepare for their future retirements and make plans, but do not take into account what could happen at any moment . How many disregard the ephemerality of life? It does not matter whether a person enjoys perfect health, wealth or fame. Death will come to everyone.
Nothing in this world is more important than the assurance of the soul’s eternal salvation. Therefore, the question that remains is: are you sure of your final destination , where will you spend Eternity?
Bishop Júlio Freitas explains that if your answer is no, there is only one way to solve this problem , which is extremely serious. “Be aware: you cannot live in fear of dying, because the most important thing in your life is your soul! The body dies and returns to the dust from which it came, but the soul remains, because it is eternal, and, or she goes to eternal death, spending Eternity separated from God (condemned by her many unrepentant mistakes) or to Heaven, to Eternity with God, the fruit not of perfection, but of sincere repentance for the sins committed, which separate us from God!” he warns.
