That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God requires an account of what is past.  Ecclesiastes 3.15

What a mystery this verse reveals, it seems like a play on words! The Lord has foreknowledge, so He knows what will happen to us in our last moment in the world. He has proved that it is possible for us to live free from any onslaught of the kingdom of evil, without suffering loss. People who fail to heed the message of the Bible do not understand how much they are missing or what trials they will go through without Heaven’s help.

We must rest about the future. This is because our Good Shepherd always takes cares of us. The saved person has the promise of the Most High operating in his life, for he has a covenant with the Lord of Heaven and Earth, lives in the shadow of the Almighty, and can call Him his Refuge. To be protected in such a way, one must dwell in the hiding place of the Most High (Psalm 91.1)!

The promise is: No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling (Psalm 91.10). When Adam sinned, we were cut off from God and lived without His complete protection. Without a doubt, the Lord did not let the devil do with people what he wanted, but protected them to a certain extent until they heard the Gospel and decided whether they would be saved or remain lost.

This is the reality of the world. As long as a person doesn’t know the Good News, he has little of God. But when he hears and believes, he is protected by Him. Then, truly, divine love surrounds them in such a way that the evil one does not touch them. It is necessary to announce to everyone what happened on Calvary, when Jesus replaced us by suffering our sins. Today, whoever believes in Christ is freed from all suffering. Believe!

There is a world of opportunities waiting for those who receive the Good News. Those who resist it cannot imagine what they are despising. Besides not living next to the Lord here, when the time comes for them to leave this world, they will not enter heavenly joy. By denying the offer, such person will not have God’s help on Earth, and when they die, they will suffer in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 20.15).

Salvation is a reality, and it was purchased with the blood of Christ more than two thousand years ago. During all this time, those who have converted have been redeemed and many are in Glory. However, those who rejected the divine plan are in eternal suffering. Millions of years, sometimes billions of years, these people will continue to suffer. God wants accountability of what has happened! 

All is recorded on your behalf, you just need to accept Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Then your future will be glorious. But those who are unwilling to receive Him are making the wrong choice. Be wise and accept Jesus as Lord of your life! He loves you indeed!

In Christ, with love,
