From John Collins, Evangelist:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.” John 5:25-29 (NKJV).
This is one of the truths of the Bible and of this world and
the perfection of God that should amaze everyone. God is all-knowing and from
the beginning of this world and the first deaths of this world those souls were
held in waiting for Jesus. They slept and their faith while they lived and the
deeds that they did would speak for themselves as to whether or not they would
believe in Jesus Christ when He spoke. Those that were true believers in God
and those who lived by faith heard Jesus and believed in Him immediately upon
waking. Those who were not believers in God and did not live by faith awoke to
condemnation and eternal hellfire.
God will always be perfect and this world has yet to have
all revealed to them. When new revelations come, as with Jesus, those who truly
belong to God will hear the truth and follow that truth. There will be sons of
damnation that will try to challenge your faith and your belief but God knows
those who are His and He will always call them home. Trust that if you truly
want to belong to God, you will because you will choose Him over this world and
He will hold you safe from all.
“I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.” John 5:30 (NKJV).
