Adonai, this list of those that will go to the lake of fire is fascinating and a little scary. At what point does being timid and having a lack of confidence doom me? What about faithlessness? What about idolatry? How far before I doom myself to hell and the lake of fire? I do not try to do any of these things and do my best to avoid them. Yet, I know that in small ways, I have and do. And as far as lying… how often do I lie to myself about things? Like when I fall for the lies that the enemy spews. So I lie to myself then. And then vocalize the lie to others. It is not often but I fall for that trap. Or what about the lies I learned from the Church, from some Christian pastors and writers and Bible study teachers… that I then shared with others? And the lies that some study Bibles and commentaries share? That I shared with others, thinking they were truth, only later to learn differently?
Am I doomed? Or is this a lie the enemy wants me to believe?
Regardless, a lot of confession, repentance, and living rightly (biblically) will sure help me to ensure I am in fact saved today, and will repeat tomorrow, for the rest of my life.
Thank You for the reminder of how seriously I should take things. Please forgive me for not taking these things as seriously as I should.
