Rejecting God In This Life…..

The words of Jesus here in John chapter 7 only solidify the concept of rejecting God in this life prevents you from experiencing Him in the next life (Heaven). God doesn’t send people to Hell, people choose to go to Hell by rejecting God. Answer this one question: if God is loving, then wouldn’t it be contradictory if God forces those people against their own will to be with Him in Heaven when they rejected Him while living here on earth (not wanting to be with Him)? What changes in a person who denies and rejects God, that at death, would convert their hatred into love for Him? Jesus clearly says here that those who do not believe cannot go to where He is going (at His Fathers right Hand in Heaven). Faith is God’s way of separating the sheep from the goats. Faith reveals what’s on the inside of us. It’s a crystal clear picture of our heart. Faith strips away all the hang ups, all the pretentiousness, and reveals the priorities of our lives. God knows this, it’s why we are to come to Him through faith. It’s the doorway to Heaven. Those that refuse it, cannot enter through the only entrance into Heaven. There’s no confusion about it. It’s that simple. Maybe people need to read the Bible more, and ask themselves the simple, but hard questions. It’s not until then that salvation is possible, for unwillingness to believe translates into spiritual blindness (the inability to know God). Pursue God, you’ll learn that He’s been pursuing you from the beginning. But He won’t force Himself upon you (like you hear haters say). Love never demands it’s own way.

33 But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the One who sent Me. 34 You will search for Me but not find Me. And you cannot go where I am going.”35 The Jewish leaders were puzzled by this statement. “Where is He planning to go?” they asked. “Is He thinking of leaving the country and going to the Jews in other lands? Maybe He will even teach the Greeks! 36 What does He mean when He says, ‘You will search for Me but not find Me,’ and ‘You cannot go where I am going’?” John 7:33-36
