From Eternity to Time and From Time to Eternity

Greetings God’s people, Grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit. May the Blessings of God be upon you and your families in every way. It is truly a blessing to us that God in His great love has chosen us in His beloved to worship Him, and to live with and for Him, now and for eternity. Amen.

There is so much corruption going on around us, as well as in our midst and in and of ourselves we don’t know how we are navigating all of the obstacles that come before us, and yet we are still here to meet the challenges that come before us every day. I can tell you without a doubt that it is by the grace of Our great God and Savior. Amen, that we see another day. If you think that is something, which it is, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard the wonderful things God has in store for those who love Him, Amen.   Prayer to Thank God, ask Him for forgiveness, compassion, Filling of His Spirit, Guidance, and understanding, In Jesus name, Amen.

You are God’s people, and you aspire to do great things in life, there is nothing wrong with that. What’s holding you back? There was a time not long ago a series of books came out that became very popular. Everything you wanted to know about whatever but was afraid to ask. In this life there is going to be trouble, there is always going to be obstacles that come in your way, but God has been telling us how to overcome these obstacles, but we are not listening, Amen.

I suggest that you have some unanswered questions that are preventing you from doing your very best. God wants you to do your very best, Amen. Here are five questions that you are afraid to ask? Or the answer you have is not sufficient, enough to give you strength. How can a loving God send people to hell? What about those who have never heard?  What about deathbed repentance? What about the death of babies? Is reincarnation valid?

The first question does not sound good, it has implications that in themselves corrupt your thinking concerning God. The implication is that God is indulgent, and impotent in, and taking advantage of man, handling him crudely, and mistreating him. Almost like God is taking delight in watching people squirm and pushing them into hell against their will. Now if that is the meaning of the question, then that is not what the scripture is saying. This question shows that you are struggling with God’s loving character and hell’s awful consequences. Listen, brothers and sisters, God has the right and has set the ground rules. Because all life comes from Him, He has the Sovereign right to set the ground rules. His divine rule states that those who believe in His Son shall have eternal life with Him. Amen. Those who refuse the gift that He offers must suffer the consequences, they made their own decision concerning eternity. Amen,

What about those who never heard? They have their own religion, they believe in God. We have to be careful not to step into the role of God. Amen. Only God knows the destiny of people. You and I may think that some people are in the family of God and they are not, Amen. We may think that some people are not in the family of God and they are, Amen. God alone knows the heart, Amen. God alone makes the final determination Amen. Not all who call Him Lord will enter the kingdom, Amen, and not all who think that they are lost are actually lost, Amen. Some has genuinely come to know Christ and has lived under the misguided assumption that they have lost their salvation, Amen!

The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: ⁹because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: ¹⁰for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For the scripture said whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. ¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all and is rich unto all that call upon him: ¹³for, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵and how shall they preach, except they are sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

¹⁶But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our report? ¹⁷So belief cometh of hearing and hearing by the word of Christ (Romans 10:9-17).

Brothers and Sisters God has wonderful ways of getting our attention, He uses things in nature that happens naturally. He uses general revelation, He uses circumstances, blessings, suffering, people, He uses written material, He uses human beings to make the message known, He uses tragedies and calamities, the loss of a loved one, crippling disease, bankruptcy, divorce, and hundreds of millions different situations, He has the endless number of ways of reaching the lost, The Holy Spirit uses the scripture to convince them, they will believe. The only way to have eternal life with God is through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

What about death-bed repentance? Some people live all their lives apart from faith in the Lord Jesus and now at dying they confess strong confident faith in the Lord is that valid?

Know one can determine with absolute certainty the eternal destiny of another individual because only God truly knows the heart. But who is to say that a person cannot become a Christian on their death bed Remember the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43).

We have to be careful about putting a word in the mouth of those who seek to be saved. Who knows the language of their heart but God Amen.

What about the death of a baby? This is extremely important to those who have lost an infant at birth, or a child that didn’t live long enough for spiritual comprehension. It is to my understanding that infants and children who have not reached a primary level of maturity when they die, immediately are with the Lord. The best passage to answer that is 2 Samuel 12:23 where David says of his infant who has just died I shall go to him, but he will not return to me. God in His wonderful plan has made provisions for infants and children whose lives ended prematurely. Now, this makes the teaching of reincarnation null avoid.

Is reincarnation valid? Some people say that Jesus statement in John 3:8 you must be born again. I also heard people use the passage in Hebrews 12:1 as a justification to believe in reincarnation, we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us. If there were reincarnation the scripture would clearly tell us that the same death the soul passes through. But scripture does not tell us that. In fact, Scripture constantly refers to the death of an individual. Scripture says that it is appointed for man to die once and after this Judgement (my Judgement and yours). And don’t forget about that great chasm, And besides, all this between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, in order that those who wish to come over from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us (luke16:26). This seal the door shut.

Now let God settle the matter in your heart for once and for all so that you won’t have an excuse for not being successful, and putting forth your best, Glorifying God in all that you do to be successful.

This is the question for you to answer. Where are you going to spend eternity? The choice is yours. Being successful without Christ is not being successful, it is being foolish, it is being untrustworthy, it is being evil, it is being doomed, destined for hell, and suffering. Or if you choose Christ your destiny will be blessed from the rising of the Son. From eternity to eternity life without end in paradise. You know the Way.  Jesus said “ I am the way and the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father except by me. Amen (John 14:6).
