Bible Note: Nick, thank you for your honesty. You know I have spent many a sleepless night when someone I knew and loved died without confessing Christ as Lord. The anguish I felt was sometimes overwhelming. A wise pastor who I called gave me a word of comfort. He said, we must believe that God is righteous and just and that we are committing this one who died into the hands of a loving and just God. Although it did not comfort me to know this one may not be in heaven as the Lord had given me an opportunity to talk with him about eternity before his death. My friend said honestly he did not believe in Christ. When I warned him of the consequences of going to the place in the bible called hell, he laughed. He even called his mother and said guess what mom they said I am going to hell. His mother agreed that he was. It was within six months or so that this man committed suicide. Life is tough, is it not? Personally I can't pretend that everything is going to work out fine for those I love, but knowing that my God is righteous and just and loving gives me hope and comfort because I know He will handle everything in the best way it can be handled. One thing I have learned is that we cannot make people believe what we believe and that is ok, we can pray for them, witness of Christ and the deliverance from the second death that He has provided and leave the rest to Him. May God bless you. Val Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev 21:8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." |
