All mankind on earth possess a spirit — the invisible part of them which reflects their soul, and animates the heart and mind. The spirit in all humans, once created, is eternal. Meaning that when the body dies, the spirit lives on. Every eternal spirit must spend its eternity somewhere, and that somewhere is pre-chosen by the person before their body dies.
God alone, the sovereign creator and ruler of all things, has the right to decide where you will spend your eternal life. In a brilliant affirmation of His commitment to freedom, He gave you the choice. That’s the good news. The bad news, it is a binary choice. The good news is that you can choose to spend eternity with God in His magnificent kingdom, or you can choose NOT to be with Him.
