good verse and will add this one to it
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
John 5:29 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.
Notice John 5:29.
"those who have done evil, the resurrection of damnation".
So, every person who has ever been born and lived to be 13 yrs old, has "done evil"..... and Paul says that we all have "fallen short of the glory of God, and "all have sinned". (done evil).
So, if the verse says, that "done evil" sends you to hell (resurrection of Damnation) then the lake of fire, and "done good" gets you into heaven, then that means that none of us go to heaven, as all of us have done evil.
So, what is that specific situation per person, that causes the "resurrection of damnation" that finds you at the Great White Throne Judgement, with your name not found in the 'Lamb's book of Life". ??????????
Its one one sin.
Just one.
Its this. ..... John 3:36
How to escape that?
Jesus said...."you must be born again". As when you are born again, (not just the water baptized) but BORN AGAIN, you receive "the gift of salvation, and "the gift of righteousness" that causes our born again SPIRT to become "ONE with God"......while we are still alive in this body on this earth.
What does that mean?
It means that on earth and after death, we the born again, we the bride of Christ... we the body of Christ.... are "in Christ", "redeemed by the blood of the lamb", and protected from a "damnation" verse that says that those that have done evil. John 3:36 will end up in the lake of fire.
Remember the verse that says.."an EVIL HEART=
of UNBELIEF"? .... There is you "Done evil"... And that is why Jesus tells us that "if you do not believe in me, you will die in your SINS", and you die here. John 3:36.
Here is the interesting thing about "damnation"......Its the fact that every unbeliever is already damned on earth. They are just waiting to GO to hell.
To change this end result, Jesus said......>"you must be born again", as by being born again, you leave being damned and enter into ETERNAL LIFE.
Thank YOU God !!!!! for coming down here and dying as Christ on the Cross so that by your shed blood and death and resurrection, we can become "the righteousness of God in Christ""""..... "as Jesus IS so are the born again, in this world",....... and reader, that is certainly not to be any more defined as "evil".
