There are two important things common to all human beings. They are birth and death. Every soul on earth passed through the process of birth at one time or the other. Death on the other hand comes to terminate life on earth. It is a debt that everyone owes. Is there anyone born into this world who will not die? The answer is no. The book of Genesis gives us a detailed story of how the earliest people were born, the number of years they lived and then their eventual death.

This shows us the order of human life. Life on earth definitely have an end. However, it is important to know that death is not the end of life. After death, life continues, but everyone will not be in the same place. There are two places to be after death - Heaven or Hell. The qualification for both is determined by the way we live our lives on earth.

A careless, sinful and godless life will end up in hell fire. This is what the Bible refers to as the second death. This means, the sinner will die physically and leave the earth – first death. Then he will go to hell-fire where he will suffer forever and ever. The second death does not have time limit. It is a place of no-return. This is the reason the Bible warns us about the danger of partaking in the second death.

The urgent call to sinners is for them to repent, confess their sins, ask for forgiveness and cleansing. Then ask Jesus into their lives as personal Saviour and Lord. This is the only way to escape the second death.
