What does it mean to forever be cut off from God?
When you think about the life to come, what do you think about? Do you rest securely knowing that you have been redeemed by our Lord? Or, do you not believe that life exists after death? Worst of all, do you believe that your eternity will be spent in that hot place.
If either of the latter, applies to you; I am glad that you found your way to my website today.
Scripture tells us..
Scripture tells us that to leave this life without knowing Christ as Lord; means that you will forever be cut off from God. How do we know? Our Lord told us! Do you remember the rich man who cried out for relief from the flames of hell?
If not, here is some of the account; recorded for us by Luke in his version of our Lord’s Gospel.
"And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented." (Luke 16:24-25 KJV)
Please understand that the cries of this man were able to reach the ear of Abraham; however Abraham could do nothing for him!
How many times?
How many times do you think that this rich man has prayed to God, in hell. I will tell you, this man has been crying out for God; in hell, for what we know to be well over two thousand years.
For over two thousand years, this man has been tormented by every memory of his life. Every memory of every chance that he had to call upon God. This man is being tormented, by every prayer that was prayed for him. And, worst of all he will go on crying out, in torment, for all of eternity.
Only relief..
There are endless amounts of roads in and no road out. To leave this life without knowing Christ; means to be dead, gone and forever cut off from God. Your only relief will be when our God empties hell.
Yes, the flames may cease but then you will stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ; as a sinner.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV)
Your life will be on display for all of creation to see; then our Christ will seal your fate and send you on to your never ending torment.
"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:2 KJV)
Forever cut off from God
There is only ONE way to escape this eternal torment and that is to know Christ! Call upon the Lord Jesus, repent, confess and believe before it is too late.
What so many fail to realize, is that Christ; knows of every soul that is screaming in hell right now! How do we know? His scripture tells us that He has the keys of both death and hell!
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:18 KJV)
If you do not know anything else in this life; you want to know Him. One of our Lord’s Apostles told us all what to do.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10 KJV)
For me the choice is easy; I hope that it is the same for you. If you are reading this as an unbeliever; it is time for you to return to the Shepherd and Bishop of your soul.
"For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." (1 Peter 2:25 KJV)
