Hell. No one likes to think about it. The world attempts to dilute its force by using the word as an expletive or as an impertinent adjective. But much like tax day
We would do well to keep this sinful world and our eternal salvation in perspective, pitying the lost and joyfully anticipating the return of our glorified and exalted Savior.
Because the heart’s central loyalty will have eternal consequences, we must heed the warnings of Scripture and ask God to rewire our hearts to value him above any and all other treasures.
Our material wealth is not an indicator of our spiritual health, instead our money and how we use it serves as an indicator of where our faith lies and who we serve.
While the hard realities of God’s just retribution of the lost in hell should sober us, we ought to sincerely rejoice in the gracious realities of Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf to free us from that penalty.
We must see our absolute necessity to repent of our sins regardless of any sense of security we may feel based on a relative comparison of our sinfulness.
For those of us who believe Christ’s teaching and continue to trust in him, God promises to release us from the eternal penalty of sin, helping us now to increasingly overcome the corrupting power of sin in our lives.
We need to be discerning in our evangelism, knowing when to move on and understand the gravity of the situation when we have to.
Faithful messengers of the Good News of Christ must be willing to endure unfavorable responses when we speak plainly of sin and God’s impending judgment.
We must understand, accept and respond to the two eternal destinies that God has revealed to us in his word.
Because Christ has demonstrated an extreme love to redeem us from sin and its consequences, we should soberly insure that our lives are transformed and growing in a deepening devotion to God.
While passages of Scripture sometimes appear to support “works salvation” it is essential to know that good works that accompany salvation come after real repentance & faith.
We must seriously evaluate our relationship with Christ and his truth, so that we are sure we are not experiencing any false hope regarding our eternal destiny.
