REASON #36
Jesus said ‘…You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.’ (John 8:32) One reason Jesus came was to set us free from the grave, death and eternal non-existence; that is, to give us permanent life.
Through him we are released from death and especially from fear of going to Hell. He wants us free of this horrible superstition. Let it go…
Jesus also said in John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things so ever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.’
When a building is condemned, we deem it unsuitable for habitation and it is torn down and burned in the landfill. So it is in the resurrection of damnation. The building is torn down, and destroyed forever in a fire. It simply no longer exists.
Seek to enter in at the strait gate and you will find life. You will not come into condemnation. Hear his words and be not faithless, but believing.
