The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Hebrews 10:26-39 (KJB)

In these verses. the Apostle Paul compares believers saved by grace to those who willfully and deliberately reject the gospel of Christ when they hear it. That is more than sin; that is evil. Many people when they hear the gospel become convinced by the presence of the Holy Spirit that they are sinners in need of Jesus their Savior, but they put off their decision to come to faith in Him because of pride or because they feel themselves to be unworthy of the grace of God. They fail to realize that the very purpose of God's grace is to save the unworthy because everyone is unworthy. God usually gives these types of unbelievers another opportunity to accept Christ as their Savior the next time they hear the gospel.

But there is another type of unbeliever who willfully and deliberately rejects Christ when they hear the gospel. These unbelievers usually become atheists and develop a hatred for God. God usually does not give them another chance to accept Christ the next time they hear the gospel. When these unbelievers die and face God's judgment, He will be angry with them, and He may consign their souls and spirits to a burning Hell because they willfully rejected faith in Christ who loves them with all His heart. Hebrews 9:27; Hebrews 10:26-31 (KJB). But nowhere in these verses does God relate that He will leave those who hate Him in Hell forever. In fact, verse 30 relates that "The Lord shall judge His people." God still considers these unbelievers who hate Him to be His people because they still retain a subdued good and living nature that God created them to be, and God can never lose anything He has ever created. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). Christ will cause even these atheists to return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior when He visits them in their burning Hell near the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

The Apostle Paul then commends and praises those believers saved by grace to whom he wrote this letter for their patient endurance under persecution and for having compassion for him by sending him whatever he needed while in prison. Paul reminded them that they will receive great rewards when Jesus comes for them. Hebrews 10:32-37 (KJB).

Paul then reminds these believers that "the just shall live by faith," and that the Lord takes no pleasure in consigning unbelievers to one of the three regions of death when they die. But the Apostle never stated in any of these verses that God will ever consign the good natures of unbelievers to an eternal lake of fire. Hebrews 10:38-39 (KJB). Christ will visit all unbelievers within the regions of death near the end of the world, and He will cause them all to return to the faith in Him that He put into them when He created them. Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from them so that He can recreate them with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will consign only their dead and evil natures to the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

God knows exactly how to return all of His good and living humans to faith in Him so that He can save them all, some by His grace and all others by His mercy. Christ only abolished death itself, not any of His living humans who live in His sight forever. II Timothy 1:10; Luke 20:38; Luke 14:12-14 (KJB).
