So, now, there is only one large holding place of torment for departed souls. It’s a holding jail for those awaiting Judgement Day. Now, some don’t believe it like that. But, I believe the Bible is true no matter what others may think. I believe Jesus! I believe what He said.
Who do you know who can tell you what it was like? Anybody? It’s amazing how some people are so convinced of things against what Jesus said. Well, I’m going to go with what He says! You can do as you wish. Each soul makes their choice on which family they decide to be part of! Each one!
So, no one is going to accuse God at the Judgement of not being fair with them. He will pop up on a big screen the moments and years that He dealt with each soul! Each time He was rejected! Each time they scoffed at Jesus and those who share the truth. Each time!
Do you think anyone is going to win an argument with God?–That they will be proven right and He is proven wrong about them? In truth, God simply proclaims what each soul has chosen for themselves. This it true since Jesus is freely accessible to every person.
Even if a person only recognizes their need for God inside, not even hearing about Jesus, they can cry out to God from their heart in true honesty and openness. He will answer. I have heard stories of missionaries who have encountered people who were like this. Who did not know who Jesus is. Who cried out to God from their heart, and God sent them messengers to tell them about Jesus and what God has done through Him!
No, my friend, God is not unjust as some would accuse Him. He is THE MOST fair and just Judge you will ever encounter! But, He expects a true heart! He expects us to come humbly. Never in pride. Pride will get you and I resisted!
Some people’s sins go before them to the Judgement! Other people’s sins follow them to the Judgement. What does that mean? It means that those who are in Christ have their sins go before them. And, because of Jesus, we are forgiven and free from God’s Judgement. The unbeliever’s sins follow him or her to the Judgement. Because without Christ, there is no remission of sins.
Without Jesus our sins have not been eradicated. They have not been blotted out by His blood! Remember, only those, who have received God’s sacrifice of love, who’s names are written in the Lamb’s Book Of Life, are born again. The book will be opened. Our names must be entered therein. All those who are in Christ are there.
It’s the one’s who’s names are not found there who’s sins are following them to the Judgement. Who’s sins have not been washed in the blood of Jesus! What a terrible place to find oneself. I cannot imagine! Now that I am in Christ, I cannot imagine being outside of His life.
Friend, if you are not certain that you are in Christ, this moment is for you! You can know your name is written there in His Book Of Life. With an honest and sincere heart before God, receive Jesus as your Lord now! This is the big deal of all big deals! Eternal life with Jesus or eternal separation from God.
It is your choice to receive Jesus by an act of your own will. Giving yourself to Him. When Jesus comes in, the old man of sin goes out. And, your name is written in the Lamb’s Book Of Life. Jesus’s book! You are His now! Learn about Jesus. Get to know Him. He is all about our good in every way!
Now, with Jesus, your life takes on an eternal perspective. You know you are accepted. You are God’s own child. No longer are we afraid of death when we’re in Christ. Why is that? Because, as believers in Christ, we are alive in Him. Believers never die!
People might kill believers’ bodies. But, they cannot kill the believer! Because, the believer life is in Christ. And, cannot be killed! Believers never die! We are eternal with Jesus! God is our eternal Father! No one or nothing can take us away from Him. His life is now our life!
So, death to the believer is not death. We never die! What death is for us is simply a transfer from this world to where our Father and the Lord Jesus are! That’s it! No death involved! It’s all about what Jesus has done and our faith in Him! There is no death in Jesus!
Oh, yes, we drop off a dead body on the way out. But, we will be glad when we get out of the restraints of that sinful body. It will feel so good to be free. Listen, that day will come soon enough for us all. And, we should not be in a hurry to leave. We want to get done what the Lord wants to do through us and with us. So, there’s no hurry.
But, when we do get to leave and go home, it is going to be over the top wonderful! When we leave, you will still be you and I will still be me. But, without all the imperfections and negatives! Without any sin. Just life in Jesus together in abundance everywhere in our Kingdom!” KF KenFletcher.org
