Although it seems simplistic, it is important for believers to understand that those who are not born again are desperately and eternally lost until they experience the New Birth. It is easy to become numb to this, especially when we know and love so many who are without Christ. The flesh wants to make allowances because of the depth of our love for the individual, or because the human goodness is so outstanding. What does the Bible say? If there is no New Birth, there is no Blood of Jesus on the doorpost of the heart and that person has no hope of standing before the Lord and offering a list of good behavior, religious or otherwise. Why was Paul in prison? Why was Isaiah sawed in half? Why was Jeremiah in the mud pit? Why was John boiled in oil? Because there is only One Way. |
