As worriers, we often place more value on possibilities than certainties. We’ll invest plenty of money to insure ourselves against theft, flood, fire, sickness, or accident—all only possibilities. But we give little thought to the most certain event in our lives.
Death. Even life insurance doesn’t cover that.
I believe in insurance. I pay for it, consider it prudent, and enjoy its benefits. In a way, my blog distributes spiritual insurance in bulk.
Such shams offer heaven for the price of good deeds.
Only God offers the best insurance for the most certain event in your life.
Cheap premiums always appeal to human nature. Even for the spiritual life.
You know why this is a sham? If your premium’s payment is a life of good deeds, how do you know how many good deeds (versus bad deeds) tip the balance in your favor? You never know for sure, so you feel you must do more. In reality, the deceptive “provider” continually raises your rates and pays no real benefits on your claim.
You have no security, no confidence, no peace of mind—everything the best insurance ought to give you. You only have a constant, nagging feeling you should be doing more.
God offers the best insurance and at a better rate. Jesus said it this way:
It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. —Revelation 21:6
Jesus Christ paid the premium for the benefit of heaven when He died on the cross for your sins and rose again.
It is certain. One day we will die and stand before God for judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
So along with the coverage for theft, flood, fire, illness, or accident, make sure you also have eternal life insurance though faith in Jesus Christ.
If we secure the best insurance only for possibilities, how much more should we insure the certainties?
