The idea of god, death and the afterlife -
and coming to a conclusion about what is fact, false or fantasy
regarding these - are perhaps the three most controversial
and debated subjects. Opinions about what is true about these
varies greatly, and all have the right to
believe whatever they believe.
Various world religions also greatly differ
who or what is god(s) and how or what an afterlife looks like.
Likewise there are non-religious people that have NO BELIEF in
'god' who are equally adamant in their view.
By contrast, the Bible is Very Clear about
WHO is God, WHAT happens after death, and WHERE
that afterlife may (or may not) be.
Today’s verse in Psalm 14 sharply declares
that those who say 'There is NO GOD' are
FOOLISH.
Assuming that the Bible is correct,
those that say this phrase in the HERE,
will also say it in the HEREAFTER but in an
entirely different way and tone - and here’s why.
Jesus taught more on hell than he ever did on love, salvation
or heaven, and the Bible says that hell was not only a
place of torment (that was originally for fallen angels, not fallen humans)
but is a place of total black darkness (Matthew 8:12). More significantly,
1 Thessalonians 1:9 says that those there
“… shall be punished with everlasting destruction from
The PRESENCE of the Lord, and from the GLORY of his power.
What this means is that instead of enjoying the beauty of life
and the presence of God’s light and love while standing on the earth,
those below will be seperated from God — and from anything good
or beautiful — FOREVER.
Friend, this is a hard and harsh message but a cry out for all listening to seek
the MERCY of God while still standing on the earth.
He so wants to give all who call upon His name escape from this terrible, avoidable fate!
Those that boldly proclaim in this life 'There is No God'
WILL HAVE WHAT THEY SAY will have what they have said in the eternity to come,
and the life and beauty that who God is will be denied from them For Ever And Ever.
