S – And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire
Revelation 20:15 CSB
O – Commentary:
Following the great white throne judgment death and hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death, the final destination of the wicked. The doctrine of eternal punishment has always been a problem to Christians who enjoy the grace of God and salvation in Christ. The Bible is clear, however, that the punishment of the wicked is eternal. This is confirmed in verse 10, where the beast and the false prophet are still in the lake of fire after the thousand years of Christ’s millennial reign. Though the wicked dead will receive resurrection bodies, they will be quite unlike the resurrection bodies of the saints. The former people will continue to be sinful but will be indestructible and will exist forever in the lake of fire.
“Revelation,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – It is imperative that anyone who hasn’t recognized Jesus Christ as their savior to do so before they day. Without identifying who God is and desiring a relationship with him, people will spend eternity separate from him. A prayer of acknowledging who He is, repenting of your sins and desiring to walk with him today is the first steps to salvation.
R – Heavenly Father, we desire to be in relationship with you now and for eternity. I pray that anyone who reads this who hasn’t taken these steps towards you, would do so now.
