Some Will Reject The Truth
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. John 6:35-37
I guess all Christians have to face the fact that some will reject the gospel. We certainly don't want our family members to reject the gospel, but God is not going to take away free choice. He is not going to force people to accept him. If we hear the gospel and accept it and believe in him, he will never cast us out. After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. John 6:66 This is not an easy believeism gospel. Many reject the idea of only one way to God. Especially in our culture today, many including Oprah Winfrey have their own version of truth as they call it, but it will not get you to heaven. Jesus is still the only way to God. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 That is what the Bible says, there is but one way to God through Jesus Christ on the cross. Not every one is going to accept that as truth. Not every one is going to heaven. I know Papa Johns prayed for his children and I believe he will be heart broken if he doesn't see all his family up there some day. But many rejected Jesus even in the days when Jesus walked this earth. I don't have all the answers, but I know there will be no sorrow in heaven. Papa Johns thought that perhaps God would erase some of their memory, because he did not know how he could not have sorrow and some of his family be lost. In this 6th chapter of John, Jesus asks his disciples will you stop following me also? I do not know how it will work in heaven. I do not know how the earth stays in its place in orbit but it does. God makes the rules. God gave us Jesus, the only way to God. “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41 There is a separation day in the future where some will go to be with God and some to eternal damnation. It is that believing in Jesus that will separate us on that day, Those that believe one way, those that do not believe another way. That gulf between the two places cannot be crossed over. It is permanent for all eternity. Many do not want to hear that. There are no grandchildren in Heaven. Everyone that makes it is a first generation believer that believes the gospel for themselves. Our prayers do not mean everyone we pray for will make it in, because God does not take away free choice. All have a measure of faith, enough to accept and believe the gospel. Some are just going to say no. But what happens in heaven that there will be no sorrow? I do not have the answer to that? I just know Jesus is the only way and any one who comes to God through Jesus, God will not turn away. Perhaps I speak a truth to many that will reject it. It is their choice, I only need to be obedient to God. I have made that choice long ago and I keep seeking and praying for myself, that I too will not be deceived and walk away as many did in this 6 chapter of John. Some will reject the truth, loved ones, family members, those that have allowed Satan to deceive them. Some will allow a root of bitterness to over take them. It is only through Jesus that we come to the Father. That is what the Bible says. He that believes in Jesus shall never thirst, meaning they will make it to heaven. Jesus is the only way, some will reject that. It is a choice we make. God bless, LVZ.
