The thought that I want to share about the tragic death of Randy Rhoads on the anniversary thereof is that no matter who we are or what we are or the manner of our living whether good or evil, in the end, we ALL will give an account to our Creator in that Last Day (Eccl. 11:9-10, 12:1,13-14, Matt. 7:21-23, John 3:16-17, Rev. 20:10-15). Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world (Gen. 18:25, Rom. 3:5). Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in SPIRIT and TRUTH at the end of his life is unknown (John 4:24, 14:6, Acts 4:12, Rev. 21:27). Tragically Randy’s followers on this anniversary all will picture him to be in “heaven”, a “heaven” which is after THEIR OWN subjective fallen design and delusional reality. We personally do not know where Randy maybe but we can truly know from Almighty God's Word how to get to heaven and how to know God's Savior. My dear friend’s it is IN DEATH that our ETERNAL sobering summons to
stand before our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator Almighty God to give an
account for what we have done in our bodies in this fallen world is
called (2 Chron. 19:7, Eccl. 3:17, 12:13-14, Heb. 9:27).
We do not want to pretend with our fallen delusional reasoning that we in our own deeds are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS to stand before our Creator. For who is there that EVER lived (virtuous or vile) that has NOT TRANSGRESSED against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:36, Rom. 3:23)?
My dear friend, REALITY is desperately needed in this hour and day, for
we will all give an account, maybe even tonight perhaps to Almighty God
(Luke 12:20, Rom. 14:12, Heb. 9:27, 1 Peter.4:5). We do not know when our hour will be at hand but we must be ready! ETERNITY is always before us (Job, 27:8, Prov. 10:2, 27:1, Luke 12:19-20, Rev. 20:11-15)!

Almighty
God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in
this fallen world. Whether Randy Rhoads had as saving relationship to
Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown.
.

Almighty God has made ETERNAL provision in His dear and precious Son
Jesus Christ for the transgressions of the ENTIRE world, which includes
YOU and ME (John 3:16-17, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)!
That is the REALITY that we as individuals most desperately need to comprehend and understand. May I my dear friend ask you this VERY
sobering and pertinent question? How can YOU or I (TRANSGRESSORS of Almighty God’s PERFECT LAW) ever
stand before Almighty God our Creator who is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
(RIGHTEOUS)? How can we EVER enter into His PERFECT and HOLY Heaven (Isa. 53:6, 64:6, Rom. 7:24-25, Rev. 21:27)? My dear friends, we NEVER can (Rom. 3:23). It is ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS without God's PERFECT Lamb (John 1:29, 1 Peter 3:18-19, Rev. 1:5). We are in a horrific and desperate NEED for Divine propitiation and a Savior (Rom. 7:24-25, 1 John 2:2, 4:10).
My dear friends, it is when one places their absolute trust IN Jesus
Christ that individuals transgressions are forgiven and removed and
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ – who died in our stead - is transferred
unto us (Rom. 4:5, 5:8)! It is IN Christ where our RIGHTEOUSNESS is found alone not in anything we ever can do (Rom. 7:24-25, 10:2-4, Titus 3:5)!

My dear friends as millions reflect on the anniversary of the tragedy of Randy’s death, may we look OUTSIDE of the box of this fallen and temporal world to see the ETERNAL in light of this little temporal life here on planet earth. My dear friends, it is all about ETERNITY, will YOU be ready?

Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has
allowed and used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to
teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic and temporal our little existence
truly is here on planet earth. The question that we must ask ourselves
is will we pay FULL attention? Whether Randy in the last days of his
life came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior
no one knows, but Almighty God PERFECTLY gave him every opportunity to
do so, just as He is doing for all alive on planet earth at present (John 16: 8-11, Rom. 2:4).
No one will EVER die without having every opportunity to hear the
SAVING Gospel of Jesus Christ. For, in the END, it is OUR own personal freewill that will make our ETERNAL decision (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31). In the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God, I have personally made my decision.
Though I wrestled with Almighty God for years He wondrously in His
ETERNAL love and kindness gave me some time to beat my drum and to exhaust all of my delusional thinking (Rom. 2:4). In the end, Almighty God showed me how desperately I needed Him and how gracious to me He truly was.
I have received Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL saving solution for me - a
transgressor and sinner - and I have NEVER looked back (John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-10)!
How could any look back? You see I can absolutely identify with Randy's life, not that I ever lived on his level, but our lives were very similar. The life in that industry may be enjoyable for a season, but
there is no way anyone can find fulfillment in it let alone serve
Almighty God in it. Almighty God is calling OUT any who will hear His voice and have an ear to hear (Matt. 13:18-23, Mark 4:9). Do YOU have an ear to hear? That is the ETERNAL question at hand.

Whatever choice Randy made about his ETERNITY if he could tell us
anything he would communicate to all that loved him how desperately
crucial it is for one to have Almighty God's ETERNAL pardon and
redemption found ONLY in Jesus Christ - pro or con (John 3:16-17, 36, 11:25-26, Rev. 20:11-15, 21-22:1-5).
My friends, I am sure many will misunderstand this post and be enraged.
They will NOT be objective and evaluated it based on the REALITIES of
Almighty God’s Word, but it is my sincere desire that at least one out of the millions will consider the WONDERFUL saving grace of Almighty God. For in the end, that is what this life and brief existence on planet earth is all about! It's up... TO... YOU... to choose. What will it be?
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
