When God Says …
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” (John 5:28-29 KJV)
Here's a pop up alert - 'don't be astonished by it'! We all, including those in the graves, will be called forth to be resurrected! (That is being in a new body of flesh and bones that never die). These passages give us a glimpse of the two choices of eternal destinations for all mankind. Resurrection to a new life for those who are good, or resurrection to damnation for those who are evil.
He who is good is one who does the work that God requires by believing on the Son of God, Christ Jesus our Lord . When asked, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” “Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”” (John 6:28-29 NIV)
Having 'done evil' is trusting in effort of work by the law and not believing in the Son of God, who came full of grace and truth. It is written: “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:18 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
