“As He Is”

[gr8grace3]

If I could add several cents to this discussion.

Some will say that unbelief is a sin, and that Christ didn't die for that specific sin. However, the Bible is clear that He died for all sins.

So, what actually does consign one to the lake of fire? The Bible tells us, in Rev 20:15. One's name is not found in the book of life. So, in reality, it isn't unbelief, but failure to accept the free gift of eternal life, that consigns one to the lake of fire.


Jesus indicated that it will be "more bearable" for some than others "on that day" (day of judgment at the Great White Throne). And He was clear that it will be more bearable for the residents of Sodom and Gomorra than some of the current cities of the day, who weren't morally despicable and depraved as were the residents of those ancient cities. That must have been quite a shock to the self-righteous Pharisees and their followers.

Agreed. Always Good to have your 'cents.'

PLUS~~the fact that everyone was in the book of life before the foundation of the world and believers are promised that He will never erase their name. Unbelievers have their name taken out of the book because they never accepted His free gift.

Rev 3:5~~New American Standard Bible
'He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
