Eternity Quote | SermonIndex

Am I currently one of the 5 foolish virgins who were relaxed and didnot seek to get enough oil now because the Bridegroom has delayed His coming?Have I surrendered all my life, ambitions, hopes and dreams to obey Him and serve Him. CONSIDER THIS:When a sinner( we are all sinners, but I am refering to those who do not TRUST in Christ and are not TRULY saved) dies, his body (that is, his flesh, skin and bones) goes to the grave. Immediately at this time his soul( his mind, will, emotions, feelings, thoughts, character, personality) goes straight to Hades, which, in review, is the place of departed souls. In this Hades, you are tormented by the nearby flames of Ge-henna (the lake of fire) and there is no relief for you, EVER! Now, when the end of the ages comes, you will be raised out of Hades, to meet your fleshly body again, and your reunited soul and body will stand before God's throne to recieve your judgment sentence to everlasting flames. At this point, all your screaming and gnashing teeth, and begging, will do NO GOOD, because you have had the opportunity to accept the Lamb that paid this price for you, Jesus, BUT you rejected Him, so now you must pay the price for your sins. The bible says that the wages (or payment) for sin is death, eternal death in the lake of fire. Upon recieving your guilty verdict, you will be cast into the lake of fire, where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. Here you will spend eternity. Exactly how long is eternity? Here's the formula for figuring it out - take 1 billion years, then multiply it by 100 trillion centuries, add to that 9,999,999,999 trillion millenia, and you've just began to start the first nanosecond of eternity!! GET THE POINT!! Is that really worth you rejecting Christ for? What a blind madman it would take to exchange this measly 80 year life for that!! IT"S YOUR CHOICE THOUGH, I cannot force you. Neither will God!!Right now, Hades is full of screaming , gnashing, cursing souls who were at one time on the threshold of salvation, but they thought they were smarter than God, and they thought they could wait one more day, or they thought that since they went to church they were o.k., or because they knew the scripture, they were a dead lock for Heaven. But God will not be mocked, for WHATEVER a man sows, he will reap. They sowed damnation, and now that is what they are recieving. God is not guilty for their blood, after all , He gave everything He had to try to save them, but they refused His offer, what about you, have you refused His offer? Are you TRULY a disciple of the Lord Jesus? One who has died to self and come out from among man and separated yourself to righteousness and holiness? Do you walk in the Spirit of God, obeying His EVERY command without the slightest hesitation? If you cannot answer yes, to all of these and more, then you one day will be that screamer in the darkness of the pit of Hades, lamenting that you had the opportunity this very day, but refused to give God your FULL life and trust TOTALLY in Him.
