Subject: Will unbelievers be raised from Sheol? |
Bible Note: Curtnsally: Amen on your post. We must remember that God's holiness is such that he must judge all sin. If we refuse the substitutionary work of Christ on the cross, such a choice will separate us from God for all eternity and we will suffer for our own sin. According to Rev. 20:11-15 no Christ rejector can escape facing judgment at the Great White Throne. "I saw the dead small and great stand before God..."V12 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death. It is the "dead" which are in view here, not those who are alive in Christ eternally. It is a solumn truth from which many wish were untrue. The sad thing is "what we think" does not change the truth. In view of this, is it any wonder that we implore our fellow travellers to eternity to come to Christ for forgiveness and life? We will only end up in a lost eternity if we choose to go there. |
