Yesterday I finished reading an excellent book by the late John Walvoord called Jesus Christ Our Lord. If you want to learn everything there is to know about Jesus Christ in the Bible, then pick up a copy of that book.
In his last chapter, he talks about the Great White Throne judgment. That is, the judgment all unbelievers will face when they die. They will stand before God and give an account as to why they rejected God’s offer of forgiveness and eternal life found in Jesus Christ. Walvoord said something so provocative that I couldn’t get it out of my head:
“The tragic fact of this judgment is that none of these cast into the lake of fire needed to have this destiny. Christ had died for every one of them.”
Radical thought, isn’t it? No one that goes to hell needs to go there. All anyone has to do is confess their sins before God, believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, and repent of their former lifestyle. That’s it! But so many aren’t willing to do something so simple; and it will cost them so dearly.
Keep that in mind…no one needs to go to hell. Christ died for everyone and offers forgiveness to everyone. Do you believe that?
