IT NEVER ENDS

This blog is the result of a conversation I had with a fellow believer this week. After our conversation, I knew I had to do this blog. What did we discuss, you may ask?  We discussed spending eternity in the lake of fire. We talked about the unending pain that unbelievers will experience, their desire for the experience to be a dream, and the awaking realization that their situation will never change; it never ends. Why did this happen; because their names were not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and unfortunately, there is no do-over after the White Throne judgment.

This is the definition of eternity: infinite or unending time, a state to which time has no application, timelessness, endless life after death, a period of time that seems very long, especially on account of being tedious or annoying. Eternity is where everyone will exist when all is said and done. Some will be spending their time living peacefully on the new earth with Jesus, and others will be weeping and gnashing their teeth in the lake of fire.

There will be no comfort offered for those in the lake of fire, and no extended sympathy for everyone will be experiencing the same horror. Furthermore, the Bible reveals in the lake of fire, you are tormented day and night forever (Revelation 20:10). This means severe physical or mental suffering never ends.

As I look around, I see many people who grew up attending church, and I know that they were taught the Word while there. They were introduced to God and His son Jesus; however, from their current lifestyle, I know that they do not have a relationship with either. Truthfully, I can’t fathom what they are thinking, especially in the times in which we are living. If ever we need an anchor, a hope, and a hiding place, we sure need it now, especially knowing and seeing this world is not getting better.

Therefore, I must take this time to extend an invitation to anyone that is reading this blog who has not accepted Jesus as their Savior to do so now. Please don’t put this critical decision off, and don’t think you have time to do it later. God sent His son to earth to redeem us and to provide us with the opportunity to become part of His family. Most of all, He wants you to spend eternity which never ends with Him, and not in the lake of fire.
