Bible Question:
The Bible tells us that the number entering into destruction is many in comparison to the few that find eternal life in Christ. Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Those that find eternal life know that they have eternal because of God’s grace through the work of God’s Son Jesus Christ and the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. My question: Does the Bible emphasis when “unbelievers” die physically and they find themselves in constant torment; do they actually know why they are there? The section in Rev. 20:12 is a ways off in future; what do the dead “outside” of Christ know now when they die? CDBJ |
Bible Answer: It is better not to dwell on those who have already gone but rather to be about the business of praying for and proclaiming the gospel to those who are not saved. We can always look to God the Father and His Son Christ Jesus and know that their ways are right and holy. We can committ those who have gone on without professing Christ into the hands of a righteous God. Ask the Lord to give you peace about this situation. He will comfort you. |
