These passages contain an important message for our day. We have to remember the Lord is God and one of His attributes is His immutability. This means God does not change, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is so important for us to remember, because God is real and He is sovereign over all things.  Most importantly, God is not the collective thoughts of society. This means just because society says something's ok today, doesn't mean it's ok with God. In addition, all people, both great and small will have to give an account before God. The Lord knows that wickedness and rebellion against God is really a matter of the heart. At its core, it's a heart condition, either your heart is toward God or it is not. Either you love the Lord, giving praise and thanks; or your heart is against God. There is no middle ground! Either you are saved through faith in Christ alone or you are not saved at all. We have to remember all good works apart from faith in Christ are still works of rebellion against God. It's rebellion because at its core, the heart of mankind has chosen pride, self reliance, along with self-righteousness and man-honoring human achievement over God's work through Christ.

God through His word has promised no one found without a personal relationship with Jesus will go unpunished. All those not saved by grace will face judgment and condemnation by God. Why? Because they rejected God's grace and instead chose their own direction and the world over God. We have to remember those who are destined for Hell, have sent themselves there because they rejected God's grace. Grace means accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior; believing He is who He claimed to be, that is fully God and fully human. And anyone not accepting Him by faith alone, apart from works is condemned by their own heart. Grace is a free gift, it cannot be earned or bought. And in the end it will not matter how many or in what manner the wicked join forces, they cannot overcome God. In the end they will be condemned and face the Lord not as a loving Father; but as a righteous judge. God will look upon and judge every thought and every deed. Dear believer Hell is eternal torment and separation from God. Moreover, it includes the ever present knowledge that hope is forever gone. Therefore, God's first calling on all people is salvation, His second calling on all His children, is that we must be about our Father's business of spreading the Gospel to all those lost in a fallen world.
