If I were to ask you, how many starts do we, as humans have, what would your answer be? We know, spiritually, God’s mercies are new every day; but that is not my question. How many start, or beginnings, does a human have? The first beginning, is conception. That is the instant we are formed. And it generally lasts, 9 months. Now, IF you could talk to the baby, inside the womb, and you tell the baby, there is more to come, the child would say…no...this is life. Life is in my mother’s womb. Outside of that, there is nothing. This, in the womb, is reality. This is life. But then one day- a shock!! Wow. Birth. There is indeed another beginning. There really is another world. The world of the womb, had a start. It had an end. But its end, was the start of Life! Outside of the womb. Then someone says to you; but there is another life after this one. No, no, no. This is life, start birth, end death. There is no more. Then, one day, death, but that is the start to eternal life! Wow! There is another life. The new start, is the start of your body in the grave. The worms having a feast (if you are fat). But then you realise, the first start, you had no control over. You neither chose your parents, nor your nation. These were all chosen for you. And then, albeit, too late, you realise the whole purpose, of your previous two starts, beginnings, was so that you could make the right, and informed start, for the 3rd beginning. That 3rd beginning, is not random. It is based on your choices; simply one; did you admit to Christ, you are a worthless sinner, deserving nothing but the lake of fire(LoF). Yet, because you surrendered to Christ, your third beginning, starts off spiritually, though your body will eventually catch up to your spirit. Three starts. Two, not being your choice. But the 3rd definitely, your choice. We are sadly, people who do not listen to sound advice. We like to experiment, try things out. Then decide. The only problem with that is, the decision we make at point of death, cannot be changed or reversed. Someone asked Jesus, could they come back to this world, from the next. Another asked Jesus, should he go back to his mother’s womb. Both of these are absurd. Life is linear, it is not circular. You cannot go back in time, change your past decision, based upon your current knowledge, of the reality of your previous wrong decision. No. You must decide now, your next destination. There is no going back, reversing decisions. Not from the next world, back to this one. Not from this one to the previous world, the womb. Choose wisely. Now. Your eternity depends on your current choice.
