Jesus Christ preached and performed many miracles in
His time. Many people were delivered from bondages of sin, saved, and
reconciled to God. There were many eyewitnesses to the resurrected Christ Jesus
(1 Corinthians 15:5-8, and the Gospels),
yet many were also in unbelief. The act of unbelief is a deliberate choice. The
Holy Bible is the greatest-selling book in the world of all time, with over 5
billion copies sold. It is the instruction book for life itself. People hear
the word of God preached throughout the entire world, on the streets,
television, social media, etc., yet many are still in unbelief nowadays.
The Bible says that the Lord Jesus Christ died for the
sin of all mankind and that His holy sacrifice was sufficient to pay for the
sins of the whole world. It means that the offering of forgiveness for sins for
the whole world has been made.
And he is the
propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the
whole world. 1 John 2:2 KJV
That does not mean that
everyone will automatically be forgiven. Those who die in unbelief have
rejected the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and are therefore unforgiven.
They will face the wrath of God and will end up with an everlasting punishment
in hell.
I said
therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that
I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24 KJV
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:50 KJV
When you look at the sun, moon, stars, planets, sky, trees, and a newborn baby, even the intricacy of our eyes all prove there’s an intelligent Creator. God reveals Himself in His creation. There is no excuse for unbelief.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:18-20 KJV
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:4 KJV
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 KJV
God loves you and wants you to be reconciled to Him to save you from the impending judgement, which is in the eternal torment of hell. God sent His only begotten Son to take the punishment of our sins in Himself.
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
When you believe in Jesus Christ alone through His death, burial, and resurrection and His precious blood that was shed on the cross of Calvary to save sinners, repent, change your mind from unbelief to belief, from the rejection of Jesus Christ to the faith in Jesus Christ, then all your sins are forgiven, past, present and future. You will be born-again, sealed with the Holy Spirit, changed from within, and moulded to be a vessel for His glory.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:7,13KJV
Blessings in Christ,
David & Gay
