Hot Tubs and the Ignorance of Unbelief

This is a recent satellite photo of the "Station Fire." The northeast edge of the fire is not too far from us. The fire has consumed more than 55 square miles of brush and is threatening more than 12,000 homes (including the homes of some of our friends). Latest reports indicate that the fire is only 5% contained and is raining ash as far away as downtown Los Angeles.

Thus far, most of the people directly in the path of the fire have heeded the call to evacuate. But two people in the Big Tujunga Canyon area did not. Ignoring the fire department's order to evacuate, the couple thought they could wait out the fire, in their hot tub. They were wrong.

The hot tub provided no protection from the flames and, sadly, both people were seriously burned. They ignored the warning. They ignored the obvious danger. And they suffered the consequences.

Such is the case with every unbeliever, whether they deny the existence of God, or they claim to believe in God yet ignore His warnings. Just as the ignorance of the two people who thought a hot tub would save them from an out-of-control brush fire led to their injury, so too will the ignorance of the unbeliever lead to their death and eternity in the lake of fire.

Don't think so? Well, just as it was irrelevant that the two people in the hot tub didn't think they would be burned, it is irrelevant whether or not you believe you will one day face the wrath of God and eternity in hell.

But for those who are reasonable--like those who are smart enough to get out of the way of a fast-moving and devastating brush fire, allow me to share God's warnings with you, as well as the only evacuation plan that will save your life.

You will one-day die and stand before the Creator, Almighty God, whom you've denied and mocked. He will judge you according to the perfect, moral standard of His Law. If He finds you guilty of so much as one lie, or one theft, or one greedy desire, or one selfish act, or one lustful look, or one hateful thought, or one blasphemous utterance; He will find you guilty of breaking His Law. The sentence you will receive will be just and good: eternity in Hell.

Your arguments against the righteous justice of Almighty God are irrelevant. Any person who tries to defend himself or herself before the Great White Throne of the Creator and Judge of the Universe has a fool for a client. Likewise, any person who ignores this warning is like a foolish person trying to endure a brush fire in a hot tub.

God, who is rich in mercy, who is loving and kind, has provided only one way for you to escape His just and holy wrath. This is your only hope, whether you believe it or not.

Two thousand years ago, God the Father sent His Son to Earth in the person of Jesus Christ--fully-God and fully-Man, but without sin. Unlike you and me, He never once violated the Law of God in thought, word, or deed. He couldn't. He was God in the flesh--the sinless Lamb of God. He was born of a virgin, just as the prophet said He would be, 750 years before His birth.

Thirty to thirty-three years into that earthly existence He voluntarily went to the cross. He suffered, shed His innocent blood, and died a horrific death. The Bible says that he was so badly beaten and mutilated that He could barely be recognized as human. He suffered and died, taking upon Himself the punishment you and I rightly deserve for violating God's Law. Three days later He rose from the dead and forever defeated sin and death. Unlike the false gods of every other religion on the planet, Jesus Christ is alive and He will return at a time of the Father's choosing.

What He commands of you is that you repent--that you turn away from and forsake your sin; and that you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Jesus said that unless a person is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God. If God causes you to be born again, then when you die and stand before Him, instead of receiving what you deserve for breaking God's Law (which is eternity in hell), you will receive what you don't deserve (which is grace, and mercy, and everlasting life in heaven, with Jesus Christ).

God has overlooked the days of ignorance but is not commanding all people everywhere to repent. So, repent--turn from your sin and turn toward God--and believe the gospel while The Rescuer, The Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, has given you time.
