Imagine if you were offered $1,000,000 for an eye for the purpose of eye
transplants. It could be taken out painlessly, and you be give you a new
glass eye which will look as good as your other eye, but it just won't look
as good as your other eye. Would you sell an eye for $1,000,000? How about
both for $20,000,000? No one in his right mind would. Your eyes are
priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. Jesus said that
your eyes are worth nothing, when compared to the value of your soul -- "If
your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you, for it is
better to enter Heaven without an eye than to go to Hell with both eyes"
(Matt 18:9).
He asked, "What shall man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matt. 16:26)
There is nothing as important as your salvation. Here's what to do: Judge
yourself by the Ten Commandments -- Have you lied (even once), stolen (value
is irrelevant), committed adultery (Jesus said, "Whosoever looks upon a
woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his
heart" Matt. 5:28), killed (hatred is considered murder by God -- 1 John
3:15), have you loved God above all else? Be honest. On Judgment Day you
know you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. Today, repent
(confess and turn from your sin) and trust in Jesus Christ. He died on the
cross to take our punishment, and then He rose from the dead. He showed how
much God loves us. Then read the Bible daily, obey what you read -- God will
never fail you.
