He forgot God, lived as if this world were all, and is now with those who say, The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jeremiah 8:20)

For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36–37)

What are you living for? Is that which you are living for worth dying for? Is it significant enough to take you to Heaven? The Bible says, For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Don’t forget God in all your planning. Plan ahead. You wouldn’t want to leave Earth without Him!
