Favorite Movie Line from The Departed

One of my favorite movie lines is from The Departed. Frank Costello is played by Jack Nicholson in the movie The Departed. He just gets through smashing Leo DiCaprio’s hand in a back room to see if Leo is a cop and then he walks into the bar and stops when he sees this man at the bar. Frank Costello: Who let this IRA motherf***er in my bar? [the man looks startled and scared]
Frank Costello: [laughs] Only kidding. How's your mother?
Man in Costello's Bar: Oh... I'm afraid she's on her way out.
Frank Costello: [walking away says] We all are. Act accordingly.
[Then smiles and his straightens tie]
I love that line "we all are. Act accordingly" We are all on our way out, we are all in the process of dying. Unfortunately, Costello didn't follow his own advice to "act accordingly" he lived recklessly and was a miserable sinner. He died a horrible death at the hands of one of his own trained moles working in the Police Department. Do you realize that you are on your way out? Nobody knows the hour or the day, but everyone has an appointment with death. "Just as it is appointed for man to die once and after that comes judgment" (Heb.9:27) There is only one way to be ready for your appointment. You must believe in the one who has already taken your appointment to die and that is Jesus Christ. God has accepted his death as your death if you believe in him as your savior. If you refuse to believe in the only person who has paid the price for your sins, then you will have to face the judgment yourself. So, act accordingly and believe on God the son and the son of God Jesus Christ. Repent and believe the gospel and you will be saved. Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
