Will There Be Eternal Punishment?
Many people take exception to the idea of
eternal punishment for the ungodly. However,
their objections have no biblical basis at
all.
Some argue this way: “Since God is omniscient,
then He certainly would have foreseen that
human beings would make some wrong choices—and
that their sin would result in never-ending
separation from Him. So, to prevent
everlasting punishment, God should not have
created the world at all.” But do any of you
wish you had never been born?
Others protest, “God was right to create man,
but not with the capacity to make decisions
that could result in unending punishment. He
should have made us without the ability to
choose.” Yet who would prefer to be a robot?
Our Father decided upon a different
alternative: to create human beings with a
free will. In this way, man can receive and
appreciate love from the Creator and then
choose to glorify Him in return. God knew that
the best world is one in which man has the
right of deciding to love or hate, obey or
disobey. The Lord understood that choice meant
people would sometimes suffer, but that they
would also grow in their character as a
result. In the best world, God can shape us as
we in love and devotion choose to submit to
Him—and in the process, we will be conformed
to His likeness.
God made the wisest decision. Have you made
your wisest decision—to choose His Son Jesus
Christ as your Savior and to spend eternity in
His presence?
DO YOU ?
Do you ever feel
discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have
feelings of unrest and fear of the future?
Does the thought of death and the hereafter
haunt you?
YOU ARE
Are you
looking for an unconditional love? Someone who
accepts you where you are and loves you no
matter what? Look no further than a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Never let the enemy tell
you that you re worthless or insignificant.
You have value in the eyes of God so great
that it was worth dying for. You are a
blessing to the world.
Did you know God's
forgiveness and unconditional love is
available for anyone who asks?
If you haven't made the
decision to accept Christ as Lord
