Life can be over in an instant. We all know this but usually think it won't happen to us. We all plan to grow old well into our 80's. Nick Adenhart and Adriana Bachan may not have thought it would happen to them, but it did. Nick Adenhart (MLB Angels Pitcher) and two others were killed today in an auto accident. It happened to Adriana Bachan, killed in a car accident near USC last week. It shocks us especially when it’s someone we know or a famous person, but actually it happens every day of the year to someone. The moment they took their final breath they were in another place. Their spirit left their body going to heaven or hell. If they hadn't already made a decision for Christ it was too late to do so. They were probably loving, good people trying to do the right things but that alone won't keep anyone out of hell, which is a place of burning unquenchable fire and suffering for eternity. Nick and Adriana were young and doing good things with their lives, and probably thought they would live many more years. I pray that they knew Christ as their Savior.
excerpt from One Month to Live by Kerry and Chris Shook
In Ecclesiastes 7:4, we're told "a wise person thinks much about death, while the fool thinks only about having a good time now". You can determine your destination right now if you haven't already. If you're not sure that you have eternal life right now, if you're not sure you'll be in heaven one day, God's Word says you can know it today. And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have His Son does not have life" (1 John 5:11-12) Basically, getting into heaven is all about who you know. If you know the Son, you get in. If you don't know the Son you don't. Don't wait.
