It took me more than fifty years, from the time I was old enough to know there is a devil, to understand how it could happen. It’s simple. There will be those who will believe in and follow satan as the one telling the truth. He will proclaim Christ a fraud and a liar and they will believe him. We will be forced to make a choice. Personally, I can’t think of a more honorable way to die than to have a gun pointed at my head and hearing “Deny Christ or die” and I get to say “Fire away, bub!”
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Psalm 63:3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
