A GENERATION DESPISING ETERNAL LIFE-LINE

JESUS WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL!

Or, should I have said father Abraham was right after all?!

Our generation is privileged and have received so much mercy from God just to help us get it right with eternity impending. Jesus, not willing that any should go to Hell, has been taking humans to Heaven and Hell so that they can come back to life and warn humanity to escape Hell and embrace Heaven. Many times these people chosen by God for these assignments pass through loads of pains in order to bring back these messages from the other side.

However, there are people who because of their ways and doctrines condemn or rather find faults with these revelations of Heaven and Hell. Others do not want to hear about them and talk so much about grace. Some even get angry when you share about the realities of Heaven and Hell and warn men about sin. One begins to wonder who they are angry with, the men who pay the price in bringing these messages or Jesus who takes them there to show them these things? These revelations are truly extra-Biblical revelations, but for the Spirit-filled, they are confirmations of what the Bible teaches.

For how long do we despise this gracious eternal life-line? Indeed, father Abraham was right after all. Look at this:

“Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Luke 16:27-31).

Jesus has gone a step ahead, taking people to see Hell and Heaven, and sending them to come and warn us, but what do we have today? People still believe there is no Hell; others believe the stories about Hell are false and too horrible to be true. Indeed, father Abraham was right when he said “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead”. He was saying that if the people will not hear the messages being preached, they will neither hear a message from anyone who dies and is taken to see Heaven and Hell. And that is what is happening today.

The other day, I was attempting to share with someone (of the Jehovah witness sect) and showed her a story from Hell (about the founder of Jehovah witness in Hell). She said the man who claimed to have been taken to Hell and saw those things was lying. She never believed there is any place like Hell. According to her and others, God is too good to throw anyone into fire. Indeed, father Abraham was right after all.

How about people who frown at the messages of Heaven and Hell? There are believers who feel it is either of no need to throw emphasis on Hell, and they cling their “arguments” on grace and faith. Some even despise these revelations and insist that whatever is not in the Bible is not required of us by God.

People quote scriptures to assist their sinful and erroneous ways of life. They say Jesus turned water to wine, and to them that is a license to consume alcohol. Others argue that ‘smoking’ is never mentioned in the Bible, so it is never a sin (perhaps a bad habit). But, the Bible mentions uncleanness (including smoking, masturbation, alcohol, etc) as sin. And then, Jesus took someone to Hell and showed the person a place where those who drink alcohol and smoke end up. But even with all these, human beings still do not believe these things are sinful (they argue with scriptures), and worse of all, they do not believe Hell is real.

Jesus was right after all...or, need I say that father Abraham was right after all. Jesus gave the illustration using father Abraham. And this same way God is using many to tell us to escape the coming judgement. For how long shall we despise this gracious eternal life-line? In eternity, there shall be no more life-line. Is your name in the Book of Life?

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:15).

God, please, keep me on the way to Heaven; keep me unspotted in the world. I don’t want to miss rapture; I don’t want to miss my home in Heaven...I just want to see your face oh Lord. Is anyone praying this prayer with me?
