You can choose from going to Tangier and sampling the Buried Beef, going to Bridgeton and seeing the mill and traversing their Covered Bridge, or circling the square in Rockville finding something to make you smile. However, one choice in life isn’t as easy as deciding where to go next.

It’s the most important choice in your life, deciding where you will spend Eternity! If you ignore this question you have already made up your mind. You will die and go to hell. You may say, What have I done to deserve that? God gave us His Law in the Ten Commandments. They include:

You must not covet, you must not steal. You must not testify falsely, you must not murder, and you must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. 

See, God tells us in His Word, the Bible:

No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one. Romans 3:10-12

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 3:23; 6:23

But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. Romans 5:8; 10:9-10

As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in Him will never be disgraced.” Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on Him. For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:11-13

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Romans 5:1

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near. Romans 8:38-39; Hebrews 10:25

This is the Greatest Bridge, the way of Salvation provided by the Lord Jesus when He died on the cross. If you will repent of your sin and trust the Lord’s sacrifice as sufficient alone to forgive you, then you can be saved! Make sure you cross it today before it’s too late!

The Bridge Builder

by Will Allen Dromgoole

An old man going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide
Through which was flowing a sullen tide;
The old man crossed in the twilight dim.
The sullen stream held no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here,
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again will pass this way,
You have crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build you this bridge at the eventide?”

The builder lifted his old gray head,
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim,
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”
