I know my last blog post was titled “Worry about nothing,” and I am not recanting that at all, for those who are in Christ, but since then I’ve been thinking about how dangerous life really is for anyone outside of Christ. If we are not yet in Christ we are like a ticking time bomb. Any moment could be our last. Every second brings us closer to death and eternal damnation.
Do you know what happens to you when you die without having Jesus as your Saviour?
Eternal damnation.
Now that might sound harsh to you, but it’s 100% true.
I don’t know if our English language even has sufficient words to describe the horror of it, but in the Bible it is described as a lake burning with fire and brimstone (Rev 21:8), the furnace of fire where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:50), a horrible place where the worm never dies and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48). A place of everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46), torment, and everlasting destruction (2 Thes 1:9).
A place where we all deserve to go because of sin.
But thanks be to God there is hope. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. (2 Corinthians 9:15)
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7
While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:15
2
(For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2 Corinthians 6:2
Don’t wait!
You are but one small step from everlasting destruction and eternal damnation!
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: Ezekial 33:11a
