I have met a military chaplain, one that held that position for nearly two decades, that would not tell those that he met that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, and that all who deny Him will go to hell. I have met Satanist who have attempted to curse me, I have met those who say that Jesus Christ is not God, yet say that they have faith and trust in God. I have conversed with Roman Catholic priests who vehemently defend their traditions and works, Charismatics who think that every dream is a message from God. I have met atheists that believe there is no God.
Unless these people I meet repent of their sins, they will not see the kingdom of Heaven, but each one of them is assured within their own minds that they are correct, that there is no fault in their own reasonings. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” (Romans 1:28)
All of them have either been cursed in this way or have determined within themselves that the path they are on is the right one. Think on that military chaplain, what possible excuse will he have on his day of accounting, the dreamers when their dreams do not come true must either find a way to defend their lie, or simply move on to the next one, hoping that this is the one that is right. The atheist, would any hospital with a children’s ward send such an individual in there to console the sick and dying children, what possible hope could he offer.
There are those that are seeking a different way into the kingdom of God, (John 14:6) they are not embarrassed to live their lives in plain view of the Most High, they have determined that they are right. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Prov. 14:12) The Lord may be merciful, He may still call them to Himself, but more than likely not. “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt. 7:14)
This verse stands as an afront to all who would attempt to defend the actions of the wicked, those who say they fear God but will not stand in the face of gay marriage, of abortions, of wicked men, whether they be of low esteem or in high places, they want there to always be hope. They will not shake the dust of their feet off from them, they will continue to cast the pearls of the Lord at their feet, and they will use the excuse of the perpetual beam in their own eye, they will continuously spout that Jesus is love, and nothing but love.
Jesus looked at the Pharisees and told them they would die in their sins, not that they might, but that they would. We do not know the path of any other man in this area, but we are not to let this evil just parade in front of us, we are to speak the truths of the Word of God to them, we are to stand. Anything else is an offense to the Lord and is a cause for Him to say to us that He is embarrassed to be called our God. (Heb. 11:16)
You will find few men like this in the world today, in fact, they are the only ones that I would call men, all others are simply frivolous humans at best, and at worst are those that the Scriptures calls fools. There is one moment in time arriving for all of us, it is the day that we will give our account to God. (Romans 14:12) Most will not do so until the Great White Throne of Judgement (Rev. 20:11) the rest will stand before Him before they are allowed into the kingdom, before they are glorified. All will be tried by fire; the amount and length of that fire is determined by the love and obedience that we had for the Lord Jesus in this life.
