Psalm 30:9
9 What profit [betsa`] is there in
my blood [dam], when I go down [yarad] to the pit [shachath]?
Shall the dust [`aphar] praise [yadah] thee? shall it declare [nagad] thy truth ['emeth]? KJV-Interlinear
9
"What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust
praise Thee? Will it declare Thy faithfulness? NASB
For all who have not
believed in Christ, there is no value in life, because they only exist as the
flesh or the dust of life.
As an unbeliever, or a
non-Christian person, you only exist as body and soul, with no relationship
with God, whatsoever.
God is the power and
sovereign authority that holds and maintains all things together. Without God, you have no such power or
authority and thus your destiny is one of eternal chaos and the terror that will
accompany it with no possible solution.
In order to avoid that, you
must acquire a relationship with God.
Something that you cannot do on your own. However, God has done something for you, so
you can gain a relationship with Him and it was the work of Christ on the Cross
which paved the way for that relationship.
But in order for you to have it, you have only to believe in Christ,
nothing more.
There is no way for you
to earn or even to deserve salvation, but God did all that was necessary. So, to reject God and Christ and doctrine,
you are making the fools decision, when all that is required of you is to form
a mere thought in your mind, to believe in Christ. That is really the easiest thing that anyone
can do in all of life.
The blood and the pit and
the dust, all speak of death and the end of any and all options that you will
ever have.
For when death occurs,
you have no further thinking, no further activity, no further actions that you
can perform in life. Blood does not speak
or think. Dust does not speak of
think. And the pit only receives that
which is worthless and decaying, and no thought or words come out of the pit.
There is no second chance,
no reincarnation, no ascension, no do-overs that will bring you back to life or
to another life, so you might try and try again at pursuing a course that does not
exist.
The corpse does not
praise God. The corpse does not pray to
God. The corpse does not have a
spiritual life.
These things must be done
while you are alive.
Faith for salvation and a
daily study and living in accordance with Gods mandates throughout your life,
must be done while you are alive. Reach
your moment of death and you have missed the greatest opportunity that God and
life has given you.
So, take advantage of the
opportunities that God has given you, and pursue your spiritual life now while
you can.
