There Are No Unbelievers
Things Not Found on Judgment Day, Part 1
Series Introduction
At the beginning of the year,
we looked at the afterlife and proved, from scriptures, that: Heaven and Hell
are real, everyone is on a path to one or the other, no one goes directly to
their final rest…yet, and all will be judged.
In this series, we’ll take a
closer look at the Day of Final Judgment and, more specifically what you won’t
find there. This may be an eye-opening experience for some.
Article Introduction
In Psalm 14:1 and 53:1 it states,
The fool has said in
his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable
iniquity; There is none who does good. A lot of people out there
want to deny the existence of God simply on the basis that they can’t see him. However,
people can’t see the wind but they acknowledge its existence as they see and feel
the end result.
On the final day of
judgment, there won’t be any unbelievers. Everything that one has denied in
life, will be fully seen right before their eyes. There is no denying it then
and it will be too late. As Paul wrote in Philippians 2:10-11, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under
the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
Every Eye Shall See
When Jesus was resurrected
from the dead, Thomas (of the 12) wasn’t convinced. Now Thomas, called the Twin, one
of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore
said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His
hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails,
and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (John 20:24-25) However,
in verses 26-28; when he did see Jesus, he undeniably believed, And after eight days His disciples
were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach
your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it
into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and
said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
Every Tongue will Confess
As Thomas stated in John 20:28, “My Lord and my God!” so will every individual on this planet will state likewise. This won’t be brain-washing or a forced confession (as some may believe), but it is the irrefutable proof that what you see before your eyes is, indeed, the only begotten Son of God.
The Pharisees tried to deny
what took place when Lazarus was raised from the dead, Now a great many of the Jews knew
that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might
also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. But the chief priests
plotted to put Lazarus to death also, because on account of him many of the
Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
(John
12:9-11)
They figured by killing both
Jesus and Lazarus, would wipe out any proof of Jesus’ power and thereby
not have to confess Him as deity. But with all of the witnesses there to see,
with their own eyes, what Jesus has done, there was no way they could deny it.
Conclusion
As Paul wrote in (2
Corinthians 5:10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has
done, whether good or bad. All will be believers on that fateful day but, unfortunately,
it will be too late for most as the opportunity to convert and become a Christian
will not be available.
Make the decision today,
right now, to change your life and become a true New Testament Christian. You
can begin your new life and walk with God so that on the Day of Judgment you
can hear Jesus say, “Well
done, good and faithful servant…Enter into the joy of your lord.” (Mt. 25:31)
