THE UNBELIEVERS SAD STATE
February 19th, 2009A person who is not truly born again and has the assurance, not only of salvation, but also that if they die today will go to heaven are truly in a most dangerous and sad condition. The Bible goes to much length to warn mankind of this great danger they are in as it is not Gods will that any should perish. God sent His Son to save not to judge or condem. Below are, in point form, 10 facts about the state of a sinner.
1) Dead in sin.
Ephesians 2:1 “…..dead in trespasses and sins”
2) Under the wrath of God.
Psalm 7:11 “God is angery with the wicked every day”
John 3:36 “..the wrath of God abides on him”
3)Without God.
Ephesians 2:12 ” ….without Christ ……without God in the world.”
Isaiah 59:2 ” But your iniquities have separated between you and your God”
4) Under condemnation.
John 3:18 “…he that believeth not is condemned already”
 5) Blinded by Satan.
2 Cor.4:4 “…the god (satan) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…”
6) A child of the Satan.
John 8:44 “Ye are of your faher the devil..”
7) Eternally lost.
2Thess. 1:8-9 ” In flaming fire taking vengence on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.”
8)Certain of hell.
Rev. 21:8 ” But the fearful, and unbeliever, and the abominable, murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.”
9) Awaiting judgement.
Hebrews 9:27 ” And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement.”
10) Solemnly warned.
Rev. 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
