It is possible that I posted this sometime in the past, but when I re-read it again today, it so clearly illustrates God's gift of pardon that I thought it worthy of a read again. The choice is ours as to whether we accept or reject His pardon of our guilt.
==============================================
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
In 1829 George Wilson was adjudicated guilty and given the death sentence for murder. But Wilson had some friends who petitioned President Andrew Jackson for a pardon.
Jackson granted the pardon, and it was brought to prison and given to Wilson. To everyone’s surprise, Wilson said, “I am going to hang.”
There had never been a refusal to a pardon, so the courts didn’t know what to do. Discussion went all the way to the Supreme Court, and Justice John Marshall gave this ruling: “A pardon is a piece of paper, the value of which depends upon the acceptance by the person implicated. If he does not accept the pardon, then he must be executed.”
God loves you and wants to pardon you, but if you refuse Him, you will die and go to hell. Cast yourself upon Him completely, and receive the free gift of His forgiveness today.
ACTION POINT:
Have you repented of your sin and believed upon the atoning work of Christ’s blood on the cross? Being good doesn’t get you to heaven. It is only Jesus.

Yes.
We are told that "Every knew will bow, every tongue confess" that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Many of us have already bowed to our Savior and confessed that He is Lord; however, those who do not do so during their life span will assuredly do so after death. Unfortunately for them, that acknowledgement and confession will be too late.

Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil 4: 6,7.
