You
Only
Live

This immediately brought to mind the following verse about how importance it is to turn your life to Jesus immediately, since after your life is over, there is only Judgment in store.

Hebrews 9:27-28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.


In the war to save souls, we must use all the weapons we have at our disposal. So when a youngster asks why he or she should leave their sinful lives and become followers of Christ, explain to them, "Because YOLO."
Hebrews 9:27 is one of the most formidable Scriptures to cite against reincarnation. As I had read this it came to me how Jesus offered to bear the sins of many, but in reincarnation this simple offering is rejected and one goes through time bearing their own sins time and time again. To live and die to live and die.... almost seemingly reminiscent of Hell's torment.

I guess we could tell our youngsters that if they don't accept Jesus they will pay a penalty of living future lives without memory of what they had done in the past. Without memory they are bound to repeat their mistakes and die and die again.
