Harsh truth

II Thessalonians 1:8 “He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”  Many times one hears a person is in Heaven who did not follow Jesus and who lived a life other than the one way to gain eternal life with our Lord Jesus.  Man does not determine where eternal life will be spent–God does.  This passage is one of many where the thought of having a faith in Jesus is beyond critical for eternal life in Heaven.  Salvation is dependent on knowing the Gospel message of our Lord and Savior.  Your and my responsibility is to share that truth.
