Some Christians will die in virtuous hope, while others will experience serious doubts as they breathe their last breaths. So what happens to these doubting Christians?

Do Christians somehow get to “skip” Judgment Day? Or does the Bible teach that Christians will have to endure judgment alongside everyone else?

 The salvation of our children is not a crapshoot. Unconditional election does not mean arbitrary election. The same God who predestines the ends of salvation also predestines the means, and the two are never severed. And what was typical of Jewish households in the first century should not be viewed as the norm today, especially after 2,000 years of the “mustard seed” growing into an all-encompassing tree.

Throughout scripture, we see an attempt by Satan to cut off the Messianic line. We even see this with the Nephilim.

Pastor Joel Webbon drops the hammer on abortion.

At the level of the heart, the people of Noah's day were no more wicked than the people of our day. But in terms of their outward deeds and behaviors, they were far worse. This is because the Law of God was not functioning properly in its 2nd Use... and because of the Nephilim.

Every time you clean your house, you are executing judgment. You do not pity the trash as you remove it from your kingdom. Instead, you recognize this as a necessary good.

In order to be a faithful Christian, each of us must be willing and prepared to stand alone. We will all repeatedly face pressure to violate God's standards and go along with the crowd. In the workplace, our associates will likely engage in blasphemous speech and immoral activities, and occasionally, they will urge us to join them. At family gatherings over the holidays, the rest of the family may ridicule us for our theological convictions and commitments to godly parenting. In these settings, how will we respond? No one likes to be ridiculed or rejected. We all want to be liked and included. At some time or another, each of us will be tempted to simply go along with the crowd rather than to stand alone for Jesus Christ. However, if we choose to yield, we dishonor Christ and forfeit our distinctive witness for our Savior. In light of this, there is perhaps no greater example of a man who stood alone than Noah. Imagine what it would be like to be the only godly family on earth. Noah’s life teaches us that Christians must be willing and prepared to stand alone in the midst of an evil age, and that the secret to accomplishing this is to establish a consistent pattern of daily walking with God.

“The superior excellency of Abel's sacrifice to Cain's, lay both in the matter, and in the manner of it; the one was offered heartily to the Lord, the other only in show; the one was offered in faith, the other not; Abel looked through his sacrifice to the sacrifice of Christ, not so Cain. Abel's sacrifice was a lamb, a type of Christ, the Lamb of God; a firstling, a figure of him who is the firstborn of every creature; one of the fattest of his flock, expressive of the excellency of Christ.” -John Gill

“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” Hebrews 11:3
