❖[Revelation 21:8]❖ ❖[Revelation 21:8]❖
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
✞ The very first group named in Revelation 21:8 whose part will be in the lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death are the COWARDLY. First on the list before the unbelieving, the abominable, the murderers, the immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters and the liars! Now all these groups will have a part in the lake of fire, for God is Holy and just and shows No Partiality to anyone. It is no joke that we all reap what we have sown, but there is a way out before you die.
Why do you suppose the Cowards are the first ones mentioned? Think about it; of all the sin and wickedness in humans that lead to the second death and eternal damnation in the lake of fire, none is more detested and hated by God than Cowards. How can this be?
Saint Luke the Evangelist wrote in chapter twelve, verse five what Jesus said about it. ” I say to you my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more they can do. But I warn you who to fear: Fear the one who after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes I tell you, fear Him.”
The martyred Christians being killed and beheaded all around the world and especially in Ethiopia (Africa) and the Middle East are perfect examples to us to be faithful to the end and receive a crown of life and rule and reign with Christ. More than one million Christians have been martyred in Ethiopia in the last three years alone. Let us also remember the Ethiopian Christians who were beheaded by Muslims and became martyrs in the Libyan desert this season six years ago. You think they weren’t afraid and scared? They were, but their faith in Jesus was stronger than their weakness and their love for God is and was stronger than their love of their own lives. Now they abide with Him forever.
You don’t have to be marched off to be beheaded to renounce your faith in Jesus and confess Allah to be a coward. All you have to do is NOT confess Jesus before men and women in this life, in your world, among your family and friends and co-workers and acquaintances and today that includes social media because your afraid of men.
In some anti-Christ and anti-biblical cultures such as COMMUNISM and Islam, Christians sometimes have to choose between cowardice and courage at the risk of their very lives.
“To hate evil is to fear God “says proverbs 8:13.
