Those Who Deny Christ Will Not Go Unpunished – (Proverbs 16:4-5)

Daily Bible Study
God is not only the Creator of all things, He is also sovereign, which means God is in control. God created for us a domain where humanity could live in harmony with all things. However, with the fall that was lost forever. Despite that God gave us the free gift of grace, which is salvation by faith in Christ alone. However, because God is also loving, He gave us all free will that we may freely choose Him above evil. God did this because He will not force anyone to go to heaven who hates Him and rebels against Him. And even though Heaven is a free gift given through faith alone, in Jesus alone, we still have to choose Christ. We do not get to go to Heaven by default, no one is basically good and deserves salvation. Therefore, we have to actively choose Heaven, by choosing Jesus and thereby choosing God. Those who do not, those who choose not to go to Heaven will face destruction by their own choice.
Many times the wicked band together and claim that they'll have companionship in Hell. This could not be further from the truth, and we have to remember Satan is not God's equal, Satan is not the counterpart or equal of God. Satan is only a created being like the rest of the angels, he does not have the attributes, or power of God. Moreover, Satan can only operate within the bounds given him by God. And in the end Satan too, will be isolated and punished in Hell. Hell is not Satan's domain, he will not rule over anything, but will instead be the lowest, most tortured creation of God in Hell. In addition, those who go to Hell with Satan will be isolated from one another, isolated from God, and with full knowledge of past, present and future. Moreover, they will receive their wish which is complete separation from God, without the hope of reconciliation. In addition, like believers, they will receive an immortal body, except this one will be made to suffer and feel the pain of Hell for all eternity.
