Eternal Destinies

here are only two eternal destinies—the blessed abode of the saved and the flaming abyss of the lost. The Bible speaks of Paradise and of the pit of hell, of glorious light and of total darkness.

There are Only Two Destinies
On the Judgment Day, only two groups of people will step forth, “they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (John 5:29).

When the lost shall hear the great Judge declare their sentence of guilt, “I never knew you; depart from me,” (Matthew 7:23) where will those doomed souls go? When the righteous eyes of the King pierce the guilty one and no excuse rings true, what will happen? When the Book of Life is opened and the name is missing, what then?

Geology of Christ 2

He inspired his prophets to foretell of the coming of their Redeemer. To make it more impressive and that man might be looking for Him; He gave them rituals to observe in their worship pointing to Christ. Through centuries many prophets have spoken of Him as they were led of the Holy Ghost. The patriarch Jacob foretold in the blessing of Judah: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah… until Shiloh come” (Genesis 49:10). Moses the great man of God said: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken” (Deuteronomy 18:15). The prophet Isaiah spoke words which Jesus much later applied to Himself: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Isaiah 61:1). More than seven hundred years before the birth of our Savior, the prophet Micah pinpointed the city of his nativity by saying: “But thou, Bethlehem… out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel” (Micah 5:2). His coming was in a time when gross darkness prevailed, “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people” (Isaiah 60:2).

The fullness of time had come and the angel of the Lord announced the great event. First Mary was told, “That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35), and “Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Later it was announced to the shepherds who watched their flocks by night, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). A multitude of the heavenly host in a night chorus praised God saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). After the angels were gone into heaven, the shepherds went to behold this wonder of wonders and found it as the angels had made known unto them. Wise men from the east, guided by a star, sought Him and found Him as foretold (Matthew 2:11). Many people marvel at the birth of Jesus and search the Scriptures for details to be assured that Jesus is the only “name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Jesus confirms this great gift in John 3:16 by saying: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God gave his Son to be crucified that through this atonement, shedding of his blood, we might have the forgiveness of sins. Now if Jesus had not come into the world, there would have been no atonement. Our salvation depends upon his birth, his death, his resurrection, and our acceptance of Christ as Savior. It is of utmost importance that one believes on the “only begotten of the Father” and accepts Him as his personal Savior. He came to give the more abundant life.

Let all men seek Him, find Him, adore Him, and live such lives as are acceptable to Him. Is it possible that Christ’s birth is commemorated at Christmas, and Christ Himself should be left out? When this happens, many people attempt to fill the resultant emptiness with glitter and decorations, with things and activities. A sincere Christian, seeing the commercialism of the Christmas season, will feel that the true Christmas spirit has been lost. Christmas should be a time of rereading and celebrating the timeless holy story. The Christian celebration should not focus on festivities and selfish activities. Let us joyously call to remembrance “what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1). “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15). With the eye of faith and in the spirit of true humble worship, may we, as the wise men, follow the star that leads to the Christ child and give Him our devotion!

Geology of Jesus

Jesus, also called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. He left the splendors of heaven to come live on earth, the earth He created, to live with mankind, to suffer pain, hunger and hatred, and finally to be crucified on the cross, the punishment reserved for vile criminals. He did this all because He loved us. “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:2).
The story of the birth of Christ, of all stories, lies nearest to the heart of Christians. It is one of the greatest miracles of all ages. In it is revealed the love of God to mankind. Man, through sin, separated himself from the fellowship of God. God promised Adam and Eve a Redeemer after their transgression in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). It was God’s plan to restore or bring back what was lost.

Challenge to do right 2

“Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan…and pitched his tent toward Sodom” (Genesis 13:11-12). The fields there were fertile and he was blessed materially, but he lost it all when Sodom was destroyed.

Joseph, as a young man, chose to be morally pure and honest, and he was awarded highest honors in the Egyptian kingdom (Genesis 41:41).

Joshua, a servant of God, challenged the children of Israel, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Joshua 24:15). He said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

The people answered, “We will serve the Lord.” As long as they feared the Lord and served Him faithfully, they prospered.

During the time of the prophet Elijah, people had forgotten the mighty works the Lord had done for them, and many turned to idol worship (Baal), which greatly displeased the Lord. He used Elijah at this crucial time in a most spectacular way to show His unlimited power. On Mount Carmel Elijah called fire down from heaven which consumed the sacrifice he had prepared, thus proving that God is truly God. He asked the people, “How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” After they saw the fire come down, “they fell on their faces; and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God” (1 Kings 18).

Daniel, a young captive in the land of Babylon, purposed (chose) in his heart not to defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank (Daniel 1:8). As a result he and his three companions, who likewise made the noble choice, were in favor with God and the king. Had they not made this choice, the examples of Daniel in the lions’ den and that of the three men in the fiery furnace would not be recorded in the Bible.

Jesus gave us a parable of a father who had two sons. One chose to collect his inheritance and go into a far country (into sin). It was not a good choice. After he spent all that he had, he realized what a great mistake he had made. He chose to humbly return to his father’s house. What a blessed reunion that must have been (Luke 15:11-32)!

Jesus our Lord was apprehended and brought before Pilate. The Jews cried out, saying, “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend.” Pilate pondered the situation before him. He considered Caesar (the world) and the Lord of glory who stood before him. He made his choice, and he delivered Jesus to be crucified (John 19).

Choosing the world with its pleasures will end in destruction (2 Peter 3:10-11).

Deciding to cast one’s lot with the children of God instead of going the course of the world is making a good and wise choice. Having Christ as our companion brings us into the presence of a wise counselor who will guide us in all decisions of life.

A challenge to choose right

Life brings man to the point of decision many times. In fact, choices are made every day. Some choices are made with very little thought. At other times the choice demands much thought and consideration. The ones considered important are made with greater care. The question might be, what do you consider important?

God, when He created man, bestowed upon him the privilege of choice. We cannot sidestep this responsibility nor the results of our choices, for many will have eternal consequences.

Let us look at choices a few Bible characters made. Some were good, and others were not so good. Moses, the man of God, chose “rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season” (Hebrews 11:25). He looked to the reward which would come after this life. Choosing the company of Christian believers is a wise choice indeed.

Before the flood the “sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and took them wives of all which they chose” (Genesis 6:2). They made carnal choices which ended in their destruction.
