CARD ONE: Hold both cards curving towards the right. Which is bigger, the red or the blue? Both are the same size. Our eyes are often fooled by optical illusions.
Speaking of eyes -- imagine if I had authority to offer you $1,000,000 for an eye for the purpose of eye transplants. We could take it out painlessly, and give you a new glass eye which will look as good as your other eye, but it just won't look as good as your other eye. Would you sell an eye for $1,000,000 cash? How about both for $20,000,000? Of course no one in his right mind would. Your eyes are priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. Jesus said that you should despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your life -- "if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you, for it is better to enter Heaven without an eye than
SECOND CARD. . . to go to Hell with both eyes." He asked, "What shall man give in exchange for his soul?" There is nothing as important as your salvation.
Here's what to do: Judge yourself by the Ten Commandments -- Have you lied (even once), stolen (the value is irrelevant), committed adultery (God considers lust to be adultery of the heart), killed (hatred is considered murder by God), have you loved God above all else? Be honest. On Judgment Day you know you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell.
Today, repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to take our punishment so that we could be forgiven. He showed how much God loves us. Then read the Bible daily, obey what you read -- God will never fail you.
