However, the unholy will be separated from Christ for all eternity in a place called the Lake of Fire. Being saved (receiving Christ as Savior) must make a difference in the way we live. If it doesn't, we really aren't saved! The unrighteous (those not really saved) will be excluded from eternity with Christ, no matter what religious experience someone claims.An unchanged life proves that you are unsaved.
- Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
- Revelation 22:14-15 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Repentance from sin is an essential aspect of salvation. Anyone who claims a saving experience, yet never had any inclination to depart from iniquity and does't, never had a real saving experience.
We are encouraged many times to become holy. We should heed the warnings.
- 2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure.
- Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
