“Let us settle it in our minds, that the dead are in one sense still alive. From our eyes they have passed away, and their place knows them no more. But in the eyes of God they live, and will one day come forth from their graves to receive an everlasting sentence. There is no such thing as annihilation. The idea is a miserable delusion. The sun, moon, and stars – the solid mountains, and deep sea, will one day come to nothing. But the weakest babe of the poorest man shall live for evermore, in another world. May we never forget this!”
~ J.C. Ryle
Wow – we don’t often think about this. But we should! The soul in Hell is there for eternity. This gives renewed perspective on my fervent prayers for lost loved ones.
Oh to be able to shine for Jesus to all He has called us to. Eternity is forever, make the most of opportunities. Time is so short. Do not fear, ask Him to open doors to bring Jesus to the souls of men and women and young and old and everyone in between. Matthew 25 verses 37-40
