Are You off to the Front?

We are all very proud of our soldiers and our sailors, and of all those who have so nobly responded to their Country’s call to arms; but have you forgotten, dear friend, that it may also mean for you a call into eternity, to leave this earth for an unknown land where either happiness or misery await you?
YES, you may bear yourself bravely, and laugh at risk and danger, but deep down in your heart you know very well that
DEATH IS NO LAUGHING MATTER.
and that, when your comrades are falling all around you, it would be sheer folly to make a jest of it. You know, too, that if your own last call should chance to come the war and everything else on earth would cease to be of any further consequence to you, and the only thing that would really matter at all would be—
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY?
You have time now to prepare for the war, and you have time NOW to prepare for eternity. There is nothing to pay, and nothing to do in order to get to heaven―only
“BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED.”
Believe what? Why, that He is the Son of God, and that
HE DIED FOR YOU―
for you personally―BEARING YOUR SINS, and suffering the penalty and punishment of them when on the cross.
You are the Sinner, He is the Saviour: “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” You have earned sin’s wages, but He the Just and Sinless, died instead of you the unjust and sinful.
SURRENDER TO HIM THEN―give Him your heart and your trust.
AND DO IT NOW.
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He-might bring us to God.”
“Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.”
“Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST. and thou shalt be saved.”
