DO YOU REMEMBER the first day you realised what salvation really is?
It is the greatest SECRET that has been hidden to man. So hard to explain, I'm hoping The Holy Spirit will speak to you when as you imagine this with me --
I was 18 and even though baptised and grew up in since young, I never got the gist. One day it was and the church members did a re-enactment of the .
After they left, the hall's lights were turned off and apart from the stage, it was really dark. I was staring at the cross and reflecting on Christ dying for me, and then it suddenly hit me --
No body has ever experienced the traumatising darkness and the deadness of the soul coupled by the heaviness of the depth of crushing horror from drinking the cup of wrath reserved for those who by choice rebelled against God like the bad angels did.
This. Was what actually came to save me from.
Many people have gone through including survivors of the .
But it dawned on me that nobody who is alive right now has ever experienced the true reality of the horrors of living death of hell and sentenced to drink the full cup of God's condemning fury
For one split second I felt it. He wanted to help me understand what He went through for me that without salvation, I would have to live myself.
What did it feel like?
Like a constant falling into a never ending dark pit, with unimaginable fear from having nothing to hold on to. In the wrath of God there is no assurance. No peace. A very very deep fear.
Christ wanted to protect us from ever having this traumatic experience. Rather, to all who believes, He instead gave us the opposite -- overwhelming protection in His death and mercy instead of fury. This is His heart who wishes no one perish. And yet you can choose if you want to live.
He will not have forced subjects.
Today, I lay life and death before you. So choose life. Why perish?
Hell is made for the rebellious angels. Not for you.
