Regrets at Death
I have never heard and I never expect to hear of one who, when
about to die:
- Regrets that he became a Christian.
- Regrets that he tried earnestly to live as a Christian.
- Regrets that he gave so much time to prayer and study of the Bible.
- Regrets that he gave a generous portion of his money to do the
Lord's work.
- Regrets that he tried to reach others around him who were lost
in sin.
- Regrets that he assembled conscientiously and regularly with the
brethren for worship, exhortation, and edification.
But I have heard of many and expect to hear of more who, when
about to die:
- Regretted they had not become a child of the King.
- Regretted they had not tried earnestly to live as a Christian.
- Regretted that they had not given much time to prayer and study
of the Bible.
- Regretted they had not given a generous portion of their money
to do the Lord's work.
- Regretted they had not tried to reach others around them who
were lost in sin.
- Regretted they had not assembled conscientiously and regularly
with their brethren for worship, exhortation, and edification.
How about you? When you are facing death, as each of us will one
day, will you have any regrets? Do not wait until it is too late
to set your priorities straight. What is important is what you
can take with you into eternity Anything else has to be of much
less value.
