THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
At the trial, the Medical Examiner was called to testify about the condition of a murder victim.
The defense lawyer stood up and asked,
"How many autopsies have you performed on dead people?"
The ME said, "ALL my autopsies have been on dead people."
The court broke into such laughter the judge had to call a recess.

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

God's full desire is that ALL men repent and be forgiven.
God LOVES people, and desires that ALL should be saved (2Peter 3:9).
But a man who is "good" in character, without having repented and surrendered to Christ, will STILL be counted guilty of sins at the final judgment day.
I've read many a "letter to the editor" by some well known people who claim to be atheist.
They proclaim long and loudly that God is UNFAIR (see verse 26 & verse 29).
But God is PERFECTLY fair!
He promises to FORGIVE the wickedness of man if man will repent.
And He promises to NOT FORGIVE those who will not repent.
To me, that's pretty simple!
ETERNAL EXISTENCE is ALREADY granted to man's soul!
ETERNAL LIFE is promised to those who repent to God and strive to live in obedience as an adopted child.
But, ETERNAL DEATH is promised to those who will NOT repent to God and strive to live for self.
Yup! Sounds simple to me!
IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH!!!
GOD is the One Who will JUDGE all men for their lives!
It will not be the wisdom or prudence of the person; it will not be the "say-so" of reknowned people; and it will certainly not be some senseless, imaginative character that men dream up.
Jesus has already displayed the fact that He doesn't want ANY person to exist in eternal hell. Jesus came, lived and died a horrible death just to pay our sin debt. If we repent and surrender to Him, then He PROMISES to forgive our sins and give us eternal LIFE!
If you're a Christian and alive, you can testify as to God's will concerning all people.
So TESTIFY!
Love ya,
