THE SECOND DEATH! (Part 2)
Hebrews 9:27 – And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (KJV)
Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
The most important aspect of human existence is to please God and continually commune with Him. When this fails to happen, there is a danger of spiritual separation. If the person dies in this state of sin and spiritual death, they enter eternity disconnected from God. This is the eternal place of condemnation: the lake of fire, a place of everlasting torment where there is no hope or point of return except for wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:36–43).
The reality of the second death must not be taken for granted. The current life you live and your daily actions will determine your destination. If you have committed sin or backslide, never postpone your day of salvation because no one is guaranteed tomorrow. As read in today’s Bible text, when you die in sin, your fate is sealed. Don’t be like King Agrippa, whom Paul preached to, only to reply, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” (Acts 26:28). The great Agrippa might currently be yelling in the lake of fire. Earthly possessions and position cannot save you from the second death. Repent now!
To conclude this series, the physical death is not as important as the second death. The reason is that anyone who dies in Christ is assumed to be sleeping and would not partake in the second death (Revelation 20:6). Therefore, rejoice all ye who have lost someone, or the persecuted and those assigned to die. If they sleep in Christ, they will rise again.
