Regrets At Death
I have never heard and I never expect to hear of one who, when about to die:
-Regrets that he became a Christian.
-Regrets that he tried earnestly to live as a Christian.
-Regrets that he gave so much time to prayer and study of the Bible.
-Regrets that he gave a generous portion of his money to do the Lord's work.
-Regrets that he tried to reach others who were lost in sin around him.
-Regrets that he assembled conscientiously and regularly with the brethren for worship, exhortation and edification.
But I have heard of many and expect to hear of more who, when about to die:
-Regretted not becoming a child of the King.
-Regretted not trying earnestly to live as a Christian.
-Regretted that they had not given much time to prayer and study of the Bible.
-Regretted they had not given a generous portion of their money to do the Lord's work.
-Regretted they had not tried to reach others around them who were lost in sin.
-Regretted they had not assembled conscientiously and regularly with their brethren for worship, exhortation and edification.
What about you? When you are facing death, as each of us will one day, will you have any regrets? Do not wait until it is too late to set your priorities straight. What is important is what you can take with you into eternity. Anything else has to be of much less value.
