Wilma was a sick woman. She realized she needed something to guarantee her future after death. One day, as she was walking, she spied a vendor selling contracts for eternal life. This was exactly for what she was seeking. She bought one. However, she noticed that something indecipherable was written at the bottom of this contract. At her query as to its meaning, the vendor merely replied that it was a heavenly language, incomprehensible to human beings. With her friends, Wilma discussed her good fortune in buying this contract. Some agreed that it was a good thing. Others scoffed that it was a false hope. Still others warned her that eternal life cannot be bought with money. Later on, she visited her doctor, who informed her that her time on earth was limited and that she should get her life in order. Confidently, she assured him that she had bought her contract and was ready to die. When he asked her whether or not she had read the fine print at the bottom, she replied that the fine print was written in an incomprehensible language. As he explained that the language was written in Latin and meant that the contract was valid only while she lived, she grew troubled. He affirmed her miserable realization that she was unclear as to her eternal destination. She had nothing to guarantee her entrance into heaven. This short skit illustrates the fact that eternal life cannot be bought. No contract will enable us to get to heaven. The only entrance is Christ. We must be sorry for our sins, repent, and turn away from sin completely in order to guarantee our place in heaven. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
