Job 18:5-7 The truth
remains that the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow. The light in them will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be
quenched. The confident stride of the
wicked will be short-lived. Their own schemes
will be their downfall.
We need to understand this truth.
God prevails over the wicked in heart.
There is nothing but darkness and emptiness, which characterizes their
lives. They have no hope beyond this
life. Whatever they may know, experience,
or do in this life will be their reward.
In eternity they will be like everyone else who has denied or rejected
Christ. They will spend eternity in
eternal torment understanding that it is well-deserved and did not have to be
that way.
There is hope for the wicked while there is still life, but once
life comes to an end, there is no more hope.
The longer one lingers in the darkness, the dimmer the light
becomes. Linger long enough and the
light simply will go out.
If you are counting on the pleasures of this life to satisfy your
soul, you will regret it forever. If you
think that your legacy on earth is going to ease your suffering in hell, think
again. If you think that there is no God
to fear or answer to, you will have a very rude awakening. If you think you know what you are doing and
that your way of life is a better way, you will soon find out just how wrong
you really are.
The truth of the matter is that there is only one way to live that
will spare any of us from an eternity in hell.
Our relationship with Christ before we die determines where we will live
eternally. We cannot be in Christ and
live in the darkness of evil. The
evidence of our salvation is how we live.
Words will not cut it. Saving
faith results in godly living. Profession
of faith without practice of faith means nothing.
Dear friend, stay out of
the darkness of the wicked. It only
leads you away from God and if you stay there it will destroy your soul.
