Are we immortal? ( John 3 v 16 .)

Janet Turner  wrote an article in the  Times newspaper titled,' Covid is a reminder that no one is invincible'. She then went on to write about a man who swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112 miles, then ran a marathon,he refused to be vaccinated, and to wear a mask and yet he died of Covid , only towards the end  did this man admit he was not invincible.The film industry churn our movies with super heroes, like James Bond,who appear invincible,but of course that is only in the movies . The human body is a wonderful creation,but it will not last.Janice  writes the following,'An obsession with fitness promises by your own slavish efforts, self denial and training, sweat and pain, you can barter your odds with God'. The fact is you cant, she mentions a book called ,'The denial of death'. by Earnest Becker.  Of course mankind is not invincible,but are we immortal?,the word immortal has this aspect to it living forever,God never created us to die, but of course we do,but that's not the end of the story.The word of God speaks of  an after life existence,there mankind will dwell,in two separate realities,which the word of God,calls hell and heaven.One, is a place of unbearable suffering,the other a place unspeakable joy.The question I leave with you is this ,where will you  spend eternity?.

                                                       Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

                                                        and you will be saved.

                                                                 Acts 16 v 31.
