The Consequences for Rejecting the Gospel

I have first posted the wonderful news of the gospel, the power of salvation for everyone who believes. (Romans 1:16-17) I want to just say that I am not suprised that you are all offended by the gospel, which is the wonderful news of a new life in Christ and a wonderful joy of being a child of the King!! (Ephesians 2:4-7) And I think that it is a wonderful thing that you are offended by my previous message because it exposes the dark pride that is in your hearts. (Proverbs 16:18) And it is the preaching of the living active gospel is the only way that you will even be enabled and enlightned to preach the gospel because you are convicted of your pride and sin (John 1:9, 2 Timothy 2:24-26) and through Jesus' death and the preaching of the gospel your pride and sin is crushed onto Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) And so it is a wonderful thing that you are convicted of the sin and pride that you have that has now been crushed onto Jesus Christ. The gospel is both beautiful and offesive at the same time. And now the offer of the wonderful gift of eternal life and joy and peace awaits you through Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1) All you have to do is accept it. You don't have to pay anything for this FREE gift. And I trust that your life will JOYFULLY change if you accept the gospel. It is with great sadness that I must now preach the consequences of rejecting this wonderful gift and grace and love of God that labored to enthrall you with the all-satisfying beauty of God and all that He has in store in Jesus Christ (at the cost of His dear Son)!! If you refuse to believe, you will be cast into hell for all eternity after you die where you will experience the wrath of God. (John 3:18, 36). Hell will have an eternal fire burning in it prepared for the devil and His angels. (Matthew 25:41-46, Mark 9:43-48) And it gets infinitely worse than this. I ask that God give me weeping over this reality that neither God nor the Holy Spirit nor I could ever possibly desire. (Romans 9:1-3) There is an aspect of the wrath of God that I have fiercly neglected to mention that Christians like Tim Keller, Millard Erickson, and especially Norman Geisler (my favorite living systematic theologian) and CS Lewis. Sin is ultimately the rejection of God and His wonderful gift of His amazing majestic beauty. And so when you die, you will at the end of history see the awesome beaufitul Creator that loved you and made you for Him and died for you so you could be with Him. You will finally understand the amazing acts of love that He performed for you throughout your whole life that YOU rejected. And then you will now be granted your lifelong request of everlasting separation of God and all that is good. The apex of the suffering of hell will be that you have seen how wonderful God is, and then God gives you what you wanted your whole life, that is separation from Him. You will be eternally tormented by your ETERNAL separation from God and all that is good and by the ensuing overwhelming remorse over rejecting your loving Creator as you realize how much He loved you. (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10) You will remember reading this message and wished that you didn't let your getting offended move you to ignore it. This is FAR worse than any physical punishment of fire in hell not intended for any man but for the fallen angels. The chief and defining aspect of the wrath of God which is stored up over a lifetime of sins (Romans 2:1-10) is that God will grant the wish of any creature that does not want Him.... a horrible reality for the creature when that happens. I don't want it to happen to any of you and so I plead with you to repent so that you will not have to experience that horrible wrath and judgment of being left alone by your wonderful Maker. I don't care if I offend you even more. It is the only way that you can be enabled to make a choice to accept this FREE gift of God. I am not asking you to change your life or hobbies or to fix your life up because YOU can't do it. Only Jesus Christ can do it for you. Changing your life is not what this message is about. All I desire for you to do in this message is to accept the gify. And your life will joyfully change as you realize the wonderful taste that God is good. (Psalm 34:8) I urge with you not to reject this message because of the horrible consequencses that will happen if you do so. Receive Jesus, and you will be united to Him. You will then receive every wonderful gift bestowed in Him alone as you now have direct access to God and his wonderful spiritual salvic gifts only available through Christ Jesus. And the apex of it will be seeing God in all His glory and being glad forever. (1 John 3:2) Believe and you will have pleasures forever more. (Psalm 63:1-3) Refuse and you will have torment that cannot be described.
