"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
— Revelation 21:8 (NIV)
Thank God that heaven will be a place free from the corruption of sin. There will be no violence, and there will be no back-stabbing liars there. And let’s face it—if we stood on our own record, every single one of us would belong on that list. We have all lied, we have all failed, and we have all fallen short of God’s perfect standard.
But for the blood-bought followers of Jesus, the story doesn't end in judgment. On the cross, Jesus paid the price for our sins, washing us clean and placing our feet on solid ground. In His glorious kingdom, there will be no more spiritual tension, no daily fighting against our weak flesh, and no more temptation. There will only be perfect peace, tranquility, and joy-filled days in the presence of Father God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
This incredible promise should encourage us to keep fighting the good fight of faith and share the good news of Jesus with others. Remember, Judgment Day is coming, but through Jesus, we are saved from the second death. Only those who have placed their faith in Him alone will inherit this glorious home. What is your final destination today?
That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
