For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. Jo3.20-21 NKJV
The condemnation that rests on the world is our refusal to seek help with our rebellious character. A person who refuses to seek medical attention should certainly expect the consequences of such actions. Do we really expect anything less when it comes to the sickness in our souls.
Now no one, at least no one in their right mind, would blame the doctor if a person dies because someone refused treatment. But we run into people all the time who blame God when someone dies the spiritual death, hell, as the Bible calls it, even though it is the persons refusal to come to Christ which brings this tragedy. Now that someone would think this way, is evidence that people are not in their right mind. It is a wonder that any of us are saved. He is so very gracious. 9/29/07 ts
