WHAT WILL BECOME?
1st Peter 4:18: “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
A provocative question indeed; yes, it is difficult for the righteous to be saved because they feel they are good people and their good deeds will be sufficient. And the ungodly and sinner might very well feel hopeless because they might feel unworthy.
This kind of philosophy is quite human and totally wrong in God’s eyes. The Bible says He didn’t die on the cross for the righteous, no, He died for the sinner. Aren’t you glad to be a sinner (just kidding)? On the serious side though we are all born sinners; it is our natural destiny because of the Curse levied on the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sinned.
So what will become of the sinner is entirely up to the sinner; God fulfilled His part on the cross; the rest is up to the sinner’s to alter their natural destiny by choosing to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Please remember no action, no choosing, is a choice. The best place to prove what I just wrote is the Bible
