THE ULTIMATE " SEPARATION "

Welcome, come on in and let's see what the Word Of God has to say about " Separation. " Please pay close attention Hell is Eternal Separation From God. " ETERNAL DESTRUCTION " is the Lake Of Fire and people who are Separated from God in Eternity No Longer Have Any Hope For SALVATION. The ultimate result of sin is unending Separation from God. Because human beings are created in God's image with an inborn thirst for fellowship with him, Separation from God will be the ultimate Torment and Misery. Sin always brings Misery, but in this life we can choose to repent and restore our relationship with God. In eternity there will be no longer for opportunity for repentance. If in this life we choose to be independent of God, in the next life we will be Separated from him forever. Nobody is forced to choose ETERNAL SEPARATION from God, and nobody suffers this fate by accident. Jesus invites all of us to open the door of our hearts to him. If we do this, we will enjoy everlasting fellowship with him. LAST POINT: Now, regarding Separation In Marriage... 1 Corinthians 7:15-16 (15) Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. (16) for how do you know, O Wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband whether you will save your Wife? " Now this verse is misused by some as a loophole to get out of Marriage. But Paul's statements were given to encourage the Christian Spouse to try to get along with the Unbeliever and make the Marriage work. If, however, the unbelieving spouse insisted on leaving, Paul said to let him or her go. The only alternative would be for the Christian to deny his or her faith to preserve the Marriage, and that would be worse than dissolving the Marriage. Paul's chief purpose in writing this I believe was to urge the Married couples to seek unity, not Separation. Until Next Time... Jim,
