Really good advice. I have prayed for this woman ... but you can tell where a person's door is open and when it is shut. However, a gifted person has better antennas than I do. Reminds me of my Mom, rebellious up to a few days before death. Lot's of folk are bankrupt when they are about to die. She won't be able to sit on her $1.2 million anymore.
My brother is the same way, rich, self sufficient, in no need for God ... until their life is on the line and money means nothing.
It's easier for a camel to enter into the eye of a needle than It is for a rich man ti enter I to the kingdom of heaven.
I'll also post this as a Thread.
Everyone wants security in Life.
And at some point, everyone, who is allowed to die in time, and not suddenly and without warning, will want security in eternity.
This is why people on their death beds... often reach out to Jesus, to God.
And God accepts them every time they truly believe.
This offends some people and some Christians, who think... "well, you avoided God, you hated God, you rejected Christ all your life, so, why would God let you in, in the last 13 seconds you are breathing?
It for the same reason God accepts any of us... its because of what Jesus has finished on the Cross.
Its because of the Grace of God, that is The Cross of Christ.
See, Reader, SALVATION is not based on "FAIR""...... its based on LOVE.
"For God so LOVED the atheist, the murder, the homosexual, the Mary Worshiper, the Devil worshiper".... "all of us" that He GAVE Jesus to the CROSS for us ALL"...
God does not measure sin, when it comes to receiving someone into His eternal family.
See, its sin that qualifies us to be accepted by God, and we all qualified.
So...Its people who measure sin.. pitting themselves against each other..
Even unbelievers who are trying to be hateful, will say..."well, i knew you before you got religion, and you were no better then me, so, if God took you, he'll let me in, in the end"..
And God will do that if they Trust in Christ before they DIE, but He won't if they are still believing that God evaluates your good deeds, vs, your bad deeds...and if you have more Good then Bad when you die, you dont have to go to Hell.
Unfortunately for them, God does not look at it that way at all....
There is only one question that God is asking us all, now and then,...
"What did you do with my SON"..
"What did you do with my SON"?
Did you die rejecting Him, never born again, or did you take Him as your Savior, before you died. ????
That is all God actually evaluates, once we are departed from this place.
