Are You Insured?

To insure the masses from being mistreated or disrespected, our elected officials throughout the country, from the lowest to the highest levels of government, are constantly writing laws and ordinances in an attempt to protect us from one another. I believe all this legislation has brought about more ridiculous accusations toward one another, filled our courts system with more frivolous lawsuits than ever before and has backed more people into a corner with no option but to surrender. The American dream is on the lamb with legislators and lawyers chasing after it to lock it up and shut it down. The one world order plan being played out right now will bankrupt freedom as you know it today. The battle front is in the voting booth, not social media. Use it!

After a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for someone to greet her, she peeked through the gates. There she saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting around the table were her parents and all the other people who she had known and loved, and died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her, “Hello! How are you!” “We’ve been waiting for you!” “Good to see you!” When Peter came by the woman said to him, “This is such a beautiful place! How do I get in?” Peter said, “You have to spell a word.” She asked, “What’s the word?” Peter said, “Love” She replied, “L-O-V-E!” Peter opened the gates and welcomed her in. Some time later Peter asked the woman to watch the gates for him as he had some business to tend to. While she was guarding the gate her husband arrived. “I’m surprised to see you,” she said. “How have you been?” “Oh, I’ve been doin pretty well since you died,” the husband said. “I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a big mansion. And my wife and I have been traveling all around the world. I was water skiing in the Mediterranean today. I fell, a ski hit me in the head, and here I am. How do I get in?” She grinned and said, you have to spell a word.” “Is that all?” he asked. “What’s the word?” “…Czechoslovakia”

[Romans 4:7-8] “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him”. Laws and ordinances may protect us from one another, but we also purchase insurance to cover us in times of disaster, poor health and even in death. Of all the possessions to insure, and disasters to insure against, the greatest catastrophe is to have no provision relative to eternal life. Some things we guard against in this life may never happen. However, the fact this life will have its end is something we cannot avoid and therefore need to be prepared. For that we need the coverage only God can provide. There is an “Eternal Life Insurance” policy already paid for by our Lord, but we must be in Him in order to receive the benefits. Are you covered? “…don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:3-14). “…for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:27). Albert Camus said, “I’d rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there is.”
