I finally understood that God is serious abt the way we live.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.29 My father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.30 I and the Father are one. (John 10:27-30)

We can fall into the hands of God for judgment if we are not careful. It is the same hands that speak of hope and comfort also speak of terror and punishment. We are warned " It is fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God"(Hebrews10:31)

The hands that are today outstretched, inviting us to receive mercy, are the hands that will throw the unrepentant into pit of loneliness, despair and boredom of eternal suffering.:(

Typically, murderers and evil people are commonly expected to be condemned in hell, but it would be a mistake to think that only such criminals will be in eternal punishment. Hell will be filled with many who paid their taxes and were never charged in a crime. In short, all those who do not come under the protection of Christ's righteousness will eventually be separated from Him in conscious torment. That explains why Jesus said that the way to life was narrow and "those who find it are few" (Matt 7:14)

So living as one pleases and then at the last minute repent is no exception, you will die as you have lived!
We are prepared for heaven when we embrace Christ as our sin bearer, accepting what He did on the cross for ourselves.
So...Don't be wrong about whether or not you are in God's protective hands.
