Your Lifes Ambition VIdeo Tract v3

Life is brief.

Moses said life is like a night's sleep.

David said life is like a fading shadow.

James said your life is
like a vanishing vapor.

And Peter says life is like
the withering grass.

You're on a fast one-way street

never to pass this way again.

In less than 100 years,

it will all be over.

You will likely be long gone

and scarcely remembered.

The funeral home and the grave

are at the end of the road.

Are you spending your journey wisely?

Are you on the right road?

What is your life's ambition?

What is the real purpose of life?

You say your goal in life...

is pleasures, a good time,

to get all the enthusiasm you can,

to eat all you can, drink all you can,

shoot all the drugs you can,

have all the sex you can,

and laugh all you can.

But look down the road.

Will your life's ambition
hold in the wheelchair?

No.

Burnout is sure.

You've spent your youth and your energies.

Your toes have curled,

your teeth have rotted,

your skin has wrinkled,

and your lusts have
withered like your body.

What's left but a few fading memories

whispering, "What was the use?"

What was the use?

What was the use?

The tombstone will be your stop sign

and the judgment of God will display

all you have done in your body

like an open closet door.

God says He has appointed for men to die

and after this comes judgment.

You say your goal in life is possessions,

to accumulate all you can.

But I invite you to show me the house

that hasn't rotted,

the car that hasn't rusted,

the clothes that haven't worn out,

or haven't been eaten by moths.

Many are the elderly whose estates

have been reduced to
a few sticks of furniture

in a nursing home.

Howard Hughes was one of the wealthiest

and came to the end of his career

holed up in a hotel room

collecting his urine,

eating only ice cream

with fingernails like bird's claws.

What can mere things do for you

when you're gaping for your last breath?

The grave will even strip you

of your precious wife and children.

Is your goal popularity? Fame?

Reputation and personal prominence?

This boastful, ugly show of self-life

will see the curtains too.

Take a tour of the cemetery.

Every town has one or two cemeteries.

Where are the successful?
They're there too.

Truly, as someone said,

"Death will always be the
one signal failure of man."

And furthermore,
in two or three generations,

your name will be lost forever

from the faceless forgotten multitudes

who have gone before.

And besides, to what purpose ultimately

is your supposed influence

for good on mankind

when mankind itself will soon

wink out of existence?

God will surely close
the world history book

and burn the "Who's Who?"

at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ

to whom belongs the glory.

Listen, there is only
one valid goal in life,

to live for God and love Him supremely.

Isn't He worthy of the glory?

God made us for Himself

and life spent for Him.

And with Him is fulfillment at its best

yielding righteousness, peace,

and joy unspeakable.

Your plans, ambitions, and wishes

are but hollow idols.

Throw them in the trash can.

Take your splendid sins and cast them

by faith on the mighty Savior

trusting that He died
to pay your sin debt.

Get a Bible.

Saturate your mind with it

and find it to be a manifesto
of the mind of God -

an operator's manual for your soul,

a blueprint for building character,

a rule book for the race of life,

a roadmap to heaven.

Invest everything in God Himself.

He alone has eternal life.

And those in union with Him through Jesus

will rise in the last day

with a brand new body

and live forever.

Will you repent and believe?

Or will you press on and perish?

What does God say?

All that is in the world,

the lust of the flesh,

the lust of the eyes -

meaning your possessions -

the boastful pride of life,

that is, your desire for popularity,

is not from the Father
but is from the world.

And the world is passing away

and also its lusts,

but one who does the will of God

abides forever.

Make the will of God your life's ambition.

Who are those who enter heaven at last?

Those who do the will of God.

Jesus said: Not everyone
who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,'

will enter the kingdom of heaven,

but the one who does the will
of My Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 7:21
