Deuteronomy 32:29 and there is no understanding in them. If they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern their latter end!
Psalms 81:13 Oh, that my people would listen to me
Psalms 107:43 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
Isaiah 48:18-19 Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!
Hosea 14:9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them
Isaiah 10:3 What will you do on the day of punishment, in the ruin that will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?
Jeremiah 5:31 but what will you do when the end comes?
Luke 12:20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off, when God takes away his life?
What will you do when the end comes? If you are wise you would understand your latter end. If you will pay attention to God and keep your eyes on Him and your heart and soul fully seeking and desiring Him the end is clear. If you are given a glimpse of eternity, sin, judgment, atonement, redemption, salvation, the need for repentance, grace, mercy, and love of God, and you live as though this world is all there is to live for, then you are to be pitied. For you have rejected a full life in Jesus Christ. You have cast aside blessings and promises of eternity in heaven for desires of the flesh here and now.
The end comes to all life. Judgment comes to all. Those who have rejected a life of humble service, honoring, glorifying, following, and obeying God will find that when life ends they have believed a lie. They are cast into torment for eternity for this is the judgment to those who reject the grace, mercy, and love of God through Jesus Christ. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.”
There is no room in our lives for being lukewarm, neglectful, or complacent to the gift of life through Jesus Christ.
