The Awful (Terrifying) Truth

Why this poem?!!Because whoever and wherever we are,God so loved us that He gave his only begotten sonthat whosoever believes in Himwill not perish but have everlasting life.John 3:16...and we all need to be reminded this sacred prelude, this day of graceis leading to Forever and ever. either with Godor without!🙏 We love to think about and praise God for his love, hallelujah!!but His love would be a mockerywithout judgement's wrath against all injustice and evil! We don't hear the word hell much, usedin the context of its awful truth, do we?And small wonder! There is no more sobering topic in the whole world.But on the other hand, if this is so, why are we so afraid to speak of itand perhaps snatch someone from a fiery grave?!!Not everyone goes to Heaven,..."“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven,but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."said Jesus inMatt.7:21 While we are saved not by works, through  His son, Jesusworks will always testify who we truly believe, honour and love above all! Don’t buff truth with a lieDon’t sugarcoat hell’s lairDon’t wink and think the sin will dieWithout confession’s prayer The Word of God is justAnd absolute and wholeThe Word of God transcends the dustThat clothes the deathless soul When God joins him and herOr sever with a signature One, turned back into two Beware, lest lies take rootBe careful lest you fallThe tree will be known by its fruitGod’s Word, infallible Fall on your knees and prayThe hope God calls us toCommands us to love and obeyIn everything we do Be on guard where deceitGains popularityBecause its laws seem kind and sweet-er than God’s fixed decree The Tempter’s cunning guileHarkens back to that dayWhen he deceived Eve with a smileAnd ‘? There is a Promised LandThere is a lake of fireOne, for the Faithful to the EndThe other for the liar The want of man will fightAnd fight and fight untilHe sees God in dawn’s breaking lightAnd yields his stubborn will Then, wanting above allA life that God can blessBy honoring the sacred callOf holy righteousness Don’t buff the truth with liesAnd think no one can tellThe Word of God does not disguiseThe awful truth of hell There is a way that seemsRight in the eyes of manBeware, beware, the devil schemesTo seduce all he can Forbid that we becomeWise in our own eyesUntroubled by the condition Of truth exchanged for lies It is a fearful thingTo live bold and unbowedFar worse, the awful reckoningTo die, still cold and proud God's grace will intercedeAnd help us bear the crossThat guards against the lies that leadTo hell and endless loss Forbid that we becomeEmboldened by a lieUntil the conscience becomes numbTo what will never die © Janet Martin Luke 16:17-18It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery,and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. ESV / Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Rev.20:15And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. ESV / But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” When we are struggling to know if something is right or wrongdon't ask of someone 'what do you think??'What we think is irrelevant!Go to God's word and seek what He commands! The Hands of GodD.H. Lawrence (1882-1930) The Hands of God It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.But it is a much more fearful thing to fall out of them. Did Lucifer fall through knowledge?oh, then, pity him, pity him that plunge! Save me, O God, from falling into the ungodly knowledgeof myself as I am without God.Let me never know, O Godlet me never know what I am or should bewhen I have fallen out of your hands, the hands of the living God. That awful and sickening endless sinking, sinkingthrough the slow, corruptive levels of disintegrative knowledgewhen the self has fallen from the hands of God,and sinks, seething and sinking, corruptand sinking still, in depth after depth of disintegrative consciousnesssinking in the endless undoing, the awful katabolism into the abyss!even of the soul, fallen from the hands of God! Save me from that, O God!Let me never know myself apart from the living God!
