Fireproof (not the movie)

I came across a card that said "Life's most important question:
What happens When I die?" There is more to the question, but I'll get to that soon.
I had a young man on facebook that I was trying to get to understand that there is a place called Hell and
It is hot like that of fire. His response, I cannot repeat word by word, but said something like "sure go ahead and scare someone into your religion."
The conversation periodically runs through my mind.
Perhaps it is because it shows the difference of our beliefs. I believe there is a place called Hell and it is real. I believe that Jesus came to save all of us from our sin, that God raised Him from the dead, and He can be the Lord of your life. I believe you can move from bad things happening in your life to great things received in your life.
I don't believe you have to pray a model prayer, but I do know your heart has to be sincere, honest and open.
I know you have to admit you've done wrong things and you're not perfect and ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you. In case you are wondering why, it's because most of us want to be a god and rule our lives. The only thing wrong with that, is we tend to mess our lives up more.
I could point out places in the Bible that show you will have blessings and not curses, have life and have it more abundantly, and even show you things about Hell.
So, now what happens when you accept Christ? What happens when you admit you're not God and you screw up?
Good question, glad you asked!
Know this, you won't feel a change like when you neck cracks or you take a shower after sweating in the yard. It's much more suttle and silent than that.
You will want to do things differently here on earth, your attitude will change, the things you use to do won't matter anymore and eventually you will find new and good things to do.
The change is most prominent when you die. Jesus will come for you and take you to a mansion in the sky instead of a blazing fire underground. The next time you are at a campfire, burning leaves or at a bon fire, know that underground you will be in that fire and feeling the torment from the blaze, but with God in your life and over your life you are saved from that fire.
