People who habitually turn away the Savior’s invitation need to understand how precarious their situation is. John explains, “He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son” (1 Jn 5:10-11). Wherever such a person goes, whatever they accomplish, whatever they may think or believe, still, says the Lord Jesus, “the wrath of God abides on him” (Jn 3:36). One cannot “have…nothing to do” with Jesus, as Pilate’s wife advised him (Mt 27:19). No fence sitting allowed! The Lord Himself drew the line in the sand, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters” (Lk 11:23). What indictments! Making God a liar! Defying your Creator! Scattering what He is gathering! Fighting against your best Friend! “Repent and believe the gospel”!
