So that is God’s moral Law that we each will
face. We will be without excuse when we stand
before God because He gave us our conscience
to know right from wrong. Each time we lie,
steal, commit adultery, murder, and so on, we
know that it’s wrong. So here is the crucial
question. On Judgment Day, when God judges
you, will you be found innocent or guilty of
breaking this Law? Think before you answer. Will
you go to Heaven or Hell? The Bible warns
that all murderers, idolaters, liars, thieves, fornicators,
and adulterers will end up in Hell.5 So where does that leave you?
Perhaps the thought of going to Hell doesn’t
scare you, because you don’t believe in it. That’s
like standing in the open door of a plane
10,000 feet off the ground and saying, “I don’t
believe there will be any consequences if I
jump without a parachute.”
To say that there will be no consequences
for breaking God’s Law is to say that God is
unjust, that He is evil. This is why.
On February 24, 2005, a nine-year-old girl
was reported missing from her home in Homosassa,
Florida. Three weeks later, police discovered
that she had been kidnapped, brutally
raped, and then buried alive. Little Jessica Lunsford
was found tied up, in a kneeling position,
clutching a stuffed toy.
