Pretend that you were given the power to rescue one out of the three people listed below from hell. They were all generally good people (by human standards) but there only sin were the following
- A young girl who had a child outside of marriage
- A man who was in a homosexual relationship
- An atheist who simply didn’t believe in God
Which person would you chose and why?
This a hypothetical question people so please don’t say things like “that would never happen” BE CREATIVE!
The first two questions are the typical behavior in the churches today, and the third question is most who reject God and His truth, who do not want to face reality.
They all need real repentance and faith as preached all through the book of Acts, anything short of this and they are on their way to eternal destruction!
Act 3:19 Therefore repent and convert so that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Act 26:18 in order to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, so that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.
Lam 3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
Act 26:20 But to those first in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judea, and to the nations, I made known the command to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance
2Ti 2:25 in meekness instructing those who oppose, if perhaps God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth,
2Ti 2:26 and that they awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, so as to do the will of that one.
