If you really think about living life your way, in the end God prevails. People think they are hurting God when they purposely live without Him. They have no reason to live like this, but out of whatever rebellion you want to call it, they think they are going to prevail (I will hurt Him with my life). God’s will is for every single human being to come to know Him. He knows who will and who won’t. And even though God doesn’t want anyone to perish, but have eternal life, His plan for both decisions is carried out. For the believer, they experience His goodness and grace. They begin to understand His purpose and focus their lives on accomplishing His will. For the unbeliever, they live their entire lives seeking out pleasure, significance, and self-glory, only to find emptiness and unanswered questions. Eventually, they enter into eternity without God to experience suffering that has no relief or end. God didn’t design Hell for people, yet it’s the consequence or reward to those who chose it. God’s purpose of Heaven and Hell prevail. Our plans will always end up turning out in accordance to His purposes, regardless of how we think they will. God uses both good people and evil ones to fulfill His plans, for no one can stop them. And even though sometimes it’s tragic for those who rebel, God does what He says He’s going to do. In the end people get what they want, for God - Heaven; for Self (without God)- Hell. Wouldn’t it makes sense to seek Him out in order to find out what that is?
21 You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
Proverbs 19:21
