"It is A TERRIBLE THING to fall into the hands of the living God."
The One Truth Today is a warning to all those who do not believe, Jesus Christ the Lord God!
Remember as believer's we know that the beginning of wisdom is the "fear of God". Without the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ, we were dead in our sin and condemned to separation from God and eternal damnation. If that does not seem like A TERRIBLE THING to you, then you are dead in your sin. Many people find it hard to understand why we should be afraid of God. In fact they will say that if God is good then how could He do anything to harm me? They are correct, if they love God and have opened the door to their heart to Him then they have nothing to fear. God does not want anyone to perish. That is why you need the Word of God to understand.
If you do not fear, know, or love God, and believe He will save you , then you have chosen to separate yourself from Him. If you have chosen to reject Jesus Christ, the Lord God your choice has consequences. You have been given free will and free choice and is up to every individual to accept or reject the "living God". If you do not make a choice, that is a choice and the result is the same as rejecting the Lord. You are either for God or Against God and you are responsible for the choice. There is no neutral. If you reject God you are in peril or God's judgement and that is A TERRIBLE THING! You are going to fall into the hands of the Living God. You will be responsible for your choices and there consequences.
It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgement. Those who have Jesus Christ as an advocate will not suffer the second death, in fact they will be given new, and eternal life. We will receive unmerited mercy and be Saved. If you have not received Jesus Christ into your heart then you will rejected by the Lord as though He never knew you. You will be separated from God for eternity and you will suffer damnation in utter darkness and Hell. It is A TERRIBLE THING to fall into the hands of the living God, if you have rejected Him. That is why the "fear of God" is the beginning of wisdom. If this does not cause fear in your heart then you have made your choice and the judgement of the Lord about you will be just and fair.
