Imagine
a day when the Earth will be home to both mortal and immortal humans. Sounds
incredible and unbelievable? It’s coming - sooner than you might think, just
around the bend, so to speak.
The Bible affirms every person who will have ever
lived will one day receive an immortal, physical body – one that will never
die. Consider this in the light of the expression: Born once, die twice; but
born twice, die once! While this refers to being born again as a means to
escape the so-called second death, it is possible that unbelievers in Christ
may misunderstand this concept, thinking there is no life at all during
the so-called second death! This would be a very risky and erroneous
interpretation. ‘Death’ in the context of the second death refers to eternal
separation from God, the source of all life, light, love and goodness. People
who reject the forgiveness of sin and the eternal life Jesus now promises will
be very much alive throughout their chosen/voted for
second death experience. This sheds a whole new light on the concept of the
living dead, doesn’t it? - something we watch scary movies about, but is a
very real promise that will soon be fulfilled.
In our democracy, we are encouraged to vote, but we also have the right not to vote. A Facebook post claimed non-voters are responsible for sending bad politicians to our state and national legislatures. Debatable, of course. Regarding the matter of eternal life, beware, there is no such thing as a non-voter. Only a ‘YES!’ vote for Christ in this current life will guarantee your escape from God’s promised, eternal second death in the life-to-come, one designed and reserved for satan and his crew - and for anyone they can deceive into believing all this ‘God-stuff’ is foolishness.

Still think you’re a non-voter?
