The Most Important Question The most important question in life is, “Where will I spend Eternity?" To answer this, first you must consider what God is like. The Bible says God is Holy, just, perfect, all knowing, all powerful, full of grace and mercy; but “will not allow the wicked to go unpunished.” (Isaiah 6:3, Exodus 34:5-7). To see how you stand with God, compare yourself to His standard, the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). Have you obeyed them? Here are just a few to check: "You shall have no other gods before Me." Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30). Have you always put God first? If not, then you have broken this commandment. "You shall not make for yourself any graven image." You are not to make any idols and worship them instead of God. This can be a statue, self, money, family, or an incorrect concept of God. The Bible warns that idolaters will NOT enter Heaven (Ephesians 5:5). "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." Have you ever used God's name as a curse word? If so, then you're a blasphemer. God promises to hold those accountable who take His Name in vain. (Deuteronomy 5:11). "You shall not murder." Jesus said if you hate your brother; then you've murdered him in your heart (Matthew 5:22). If you've done this, you're a murderer and will not inherit eternal life. (1 John 3:15). "You shall not commit adultery." Jesus said, “whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). The Bible states, “fornicators and adulterers, God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4). If you've lusted after someone you're not married to, or had sex outside of marriage, you're an adulterer, under God's judgment.
