The Gospel of John 8:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.” (John 8:21 KJV)

Reflecting on this verse deeply, sends a chilling and ominous message to anyone stubbornly treating with disdain the Lord's loving offer of salvation by grace through believing in Him. There is a time that comes when one realizes the reality of the need for Him and His saving grace, but He is already gone and could not be found. There's a time when one dies in sin and realizes that there is an eternity, but had to be spent in a place of torment apart from the Lord as he can't come to where the Lord is. That would be the saddest and regretful moment to wake up to as there is anymore no options to choose. That's the end of it all, then face eternity in torment.

Everyone is put on notice. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Every soul is warned not to behave as the religious Jews; not as the present world scoffs on God, continuing to persecute and reject the Lord Jesus Christ and His followers. The Scriptures warn: “Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15 NIV). The Lord Jesus said to the Seventy disciples: “But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.” (Luke 10:20 NLT). 

As the redeemed of the Lord Jesus Christ, who's been born again by faith in Him and ardently expecting for His return, these words remind us with assurance: “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” (Hebrews 9:27-28 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
