NO TURNING BACK
Prov 14:14
14 The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways,
and the good man rewarded for his.
NIV
It appears evil will be repaid with due recompense. Those who elect to reject the ways of God and spend their lives in the pursuit of self-indulgence will get all they deserve when their life here in earth comes to an end. After already spending some time, no one knows for sure how long that time is, in this place God calls hades or hell, they will need to stand before the judgment sit of God and be told they have no place in his paradise and they are going to receive their due repayment for their ways. They will be sent from his throne room to a place no one should have to go. I dare not even speak of such a despicable end to their existence. It will be the “paid in full” for they refusal to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The good man, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have nothing to fear from God, for in fact, he will give them a full reward for their commitment to his ways. This reward is so incredible filled with things such as a new name which has been written down in Glory, a white robe, a crown of life, the right to eat from the tree of life, hidden manna, and authority of the nations. Their names will never be blotted out from the book of life, and what I think is the most incredible is that we will be given the right to sit on his throne. What a glorious reward for those who choose the ways of God. What in this life could ever be as fulfilling as the reward which awaits those believers in Christ? Sure even believers have some nice things in the life, but those are things which have been from the hand of God, not out of a selfish pursuit from their own hands. Sure believers have a great blessing living for God, knowing his working in their lives, feeling his presence, and experiencing the fruit of his Spirit. The life if a believer has many great advantages over that of an unbeliever, but this saying speaks to what happens after this life is over. Which way is up to each person to decide, I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.
