—I have a terminal illness. Changed how I live my life each day. I want to me the Master with a clean and pure heart.
Only regret is that I haven’t always lived with that goal in mind.—

I infer from your post that your motive is not to avoid Hell, but a desire to be with the Father. Am I correct?

I will confess that although I do not have a terminal illness, as I get older and in a very real sense face my own mortality, I am experiencing a shadow of what you probably are. I think it is changing both of our lives in the same way, being Christians. I think it also changes the life of the agnostic, but can, for obvious reasons, go either way. They either cling to the only thing they have - this life - with every breath, or they search for their Creator and a relationship with Him.

I do want to spend eternity with the Father. I also know that the rejection of that gift is eternity in Hell. Probably a little fear there. I have perfect peace and assurance that when I draw my last breath, I will immediately be with Jesus.
