Why is that someone says they are on a quest for the truth , yet they fail to see the deceit of themselves ? Have you ever wondered this ? Have you ever wondered why a person hides from them self ? They are not true to self and so they are not true to others. They hide behind a facade, a wall, pretending to be someone or something they are not. That is falsehood. The Bible speaks of those who live a life of falsehood. This type of person will not be in Heaven.
Revelations 21 speaks of those who will hold no part in Heaven and a person who lives a life of falsehood will not be in Heaven. Why then do those who live a life of falsehood profess to be Christian ? Because in their own eyes they truly believe they are. God has turned them over to what He said He would and so they believe that while they are living a life of falsehood they are righteous.
It is truly heartbreaking to know someone like this and you continue to witness to them yet the whole time they believe that you and everyone else who witnesses to them that speaks contrary to how they are living is the one who is living in falsehood. And that is sad. It is heartbreaking to know and love someone who is living a life of falsehood and you know they have no desire to leave that life of falsehood for the Lord. They have lied to their selves and convinced themselves that they are sin free and it is heartbreaking to know that unless they change and seek God and stay true to God then they will end their days in Hell's fire and the Lake of Fire for eternity.
In a case such as this all one can do is pray for them. God knows of it all and those who are and have been hurt by such a person , God takes note of it all. He sees all, He hears all and that is what is so awesome. Knowing that throughout everything God is and has taken note of it all. People will continue to hurt other people, to break their heart, to threaten others, to steal, rob , plunder and pillage and harm others in so many ways. Yet God knows of it all. He gives everyone at least one chance to come unto Him. He guarantees us one chance. If we turn Him away, we may not get another chance. Some do but do you want to be the one that does not get another chance? Do you want to tempt God? Are you willing to risk losing the one chance that you may ever have by turning away from God ? Remember God knows who will be His and who will remain true to Him. If you seek Him and become humble, with a contrite heart and a broken spirit then He will forgive you. Don't turn Him away it may be your only chance at being able to spend eternity with Him in Glory.
Yes you may suffer in this life by choosing to be a Christian and by serving God and staying true to Him. But the pain you suffer here can not compare to Hell's suffering or the suffering in the Lake of Fire. Wouldn't you rather suffer while on earth in God's service and be rewarded of and by Him with eternal life in Heaven than to spend an eternity being tormented in hell and the Lake of Fire ?
The choice for me was easy. I chose to serve the Lord and I choose to serve the Lord. For whatever heartache, pain , sorrow, suffering I have to endure for the Lord while here on this earth is worth it. Eternity is worth it. Never lose sight of Eternity.
God is the Truth. If one truly is on a quest for the truth I have the Truth to share with you. That Truth is Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
