Loved Ones Who39ve Died and May have not been saved - In Reply - 3 years ago
Hebrews chapter 9
27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
This is speaking of the Christian dead. (Wherever their bodies ceased to be alive. For the Christian, Christ follower; their flesh/bone remains on the earth, awaiting the moment of the Rapture.
Their spirits have already returned to God in heaven.
The non-Christian dead, remain where they died. Their bodies had been flesh and soul. Because they did not receive Jesus as their Lord; their spirits were not alive to God. They await the Great White Throne Judgment of the wicked dead.
In the story of Lazarus the beggar, a rich man awaiting the judgment begged for water because of the flames, but Lazarus could not cross the gulf of distance.
The rich man (died wicked dead) begged again, that Lazarus would go witness Christ to his family members, yet alive. But Lazarus could not cross the gulf. People in hell...pray; they feel, they thirst; they can see.
They would tell you to rescue their still unsaved loved ones.
We can all witness now to our alive, but unsaved family members or close friends. It's up to us. We may be their only contact to hear that there is hope and rest in Jesus. Eternal life in heaven.
I grieved for my unsaved friends and relatives. We all do. Regret is hard to swallow.
Instead of becoming bitter at God and Jesus, remember the manner of death Jesus had to die, so we could be born again.
We need to think on this exchange between Lazarus and the rich man; and not stay silent any longer. Be at peace.
