A few days ago, we were talking about the people who did not know the Lord and refused to obey the gospel; thereby they will be condemned and cast into a lake of fire burning. Today we will continue this topic’s discussion.
If you remember, we discussed a question about the fact, that it’s not enough to live a moral lifestyle and be a good man in order to be saved, since there is only one way leading to the salvation and that way is Jesus Christ Himself.
No matter how good men we are, it won’t save us, because this status/position like walking on the brink of a precipice – one false step and there you are. First of all, it is necessary walking on the right way for salvation.
In my opinion, a conception of “good person” is comparative. It is possible to be a good man for one or twenty people, but not for everyone.
The Word of God says: “… That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:12).
As we can see, people will be damned due to their unbelief in the truth; they will be condemned because they preferred lie and sin.
Today many people say they believe in the God, but soon it turns out that in fact, they do not like a life of faith at all and when they are invited to listen to the Word of God, they refuse. However, those same people, without thinking twice, visit the places where a sin reigns.
Beloved, let your feet run where the truth is. Love the truth and hate the iniquity, because the ones who act otherwise will be convicted.
God bless you! Amen.
