"...He will dry every tear."
There are adult children of Christians who have separated themselves from
God and His Church.
And frankly, some of them know full the grief this causes their parents, but they don’t care.
And some of them are even glad for the anguish that their parents are going through.
Perhaps they might think that even if they go to hell,
But this assumption is incorrect, as I read the Bible.
Scripture tells me there will come a time when Christian parents will no longer grieve their backslidden children. How can that possibly be? Here is my opinion:
We know that God created hell, as an eternal abode for the Devil and his fallen angels,
There is another scripture, 1 John, 3:2,3
"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known.
This means, when we see Jesus face-to-face, our minds will be instantly transformed to think like God thinks. Since God created Hell, we will then fully understand why Hell needed to be created.
Therefore, I suspect that Christian parents will cease to grieve their backslidden children.
And frankly, some of them know full the grief this causes their parents, but they don’t care.
And some of them are even glad for the anguish that their parents are going through.
They enjoy seeing the misery in their
parents’ eyes when they visit.
Perhaps they might think that even if they go to hell,
they will have the
satisfaction of knowing their parents are suffering too.
But this assumption is incorrect, as I read the Bible.
Revelations 21:
"Then
I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven
and the first earth had passed
away, and there was no longer any sea.
2 I
saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, prepared as a
bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 And
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s
dwelling place is now among the
people, and he will dwell with them.
They will be his people, and God himself will be with them
and be
their God.
4 ‘He
will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or
mourning or crying or
pain, for the old order of things has passed
away.”
5 He
who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”
Then he said, “Write this
down, for these words are trustworthy and
true.”
6 He
said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End. To the
thirsty I will give water without cost
from the spring of the water of life.
7 Those
who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and
they will be my children.
8 But
the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually
immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death.”
“4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
“4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Scripture tells me there will come a time when Christian parents will no longer grieve their backslidden children. How can that possibly be? Here is my opinion:
We know that God created hell, as an eternal abode for the Devil and his fallen angels,
for rebelling against God.
He also sends humans to hell, who like Lucifer, rebel against God’s authority.
There is another scripture, 1 John, 3:2,3
"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known.
But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be
like him, for we shall see him as he is.
This means, when we see Jesus face-to-face, our minds will be instantly transformed to think like God thinks. Since God created Hell, we will then fully understand why Hell needed to be created.
And we will then understand that
everyone God sends to Hell, deserves to be there.
Therefore, I suspect that Christian parents will cease to grieve their backslidden children.
Today, I don’t
understand how this could be, but this is how I interpret what
the Bible says.
