Charles Stanley Daily Devotional 21 April 2026 (In Touch) Tuesday Message
Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Our Appointment
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Revelation 20:11-15
The moment we were born, a countdown began on our life. Every tick of the clock brings us one step closer to meeting the Lord face-to-face. Each of us will stand before Him as we approach our eternal destination.
The only way to gain eternal life is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11-12). Truly, our sin has separated us from the Father. But God’s Son provided the solution to this universal problem: Christ lived a perfect life and then died on the cross at Calvary to atone for the countless sins of mankind (Romans 6:23). After three days, He rose from the grave, defeating death and evil. By trusting in what He did on our behalf, we no longer have to live apart from God.
To receive this amazing gift, we must simply believe in the Lord Jesus and what He did. As a result, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), are adopted as God’s children (Ephesians 1:5), and enter into a never-ending personal relationship with our heavenly Father.
Do you have confidence about where you will spend eternity? You may assume you have time to figure out this important issue, but don’t wait another minute to settle the matter, because later may never come. Repent of your sin today and follow Jesus.
Bible in One Year: 1 Kings 20-22
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Jesus paid the penalty for sin, making it possible for us to live forever with our Father in heaven.
