Ezekiel 5-8
God speaks through the prophet: “When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain.  Then they will know that I am the Lord!”  Unfortunately, it will be too late.  We like to speak of a God of love and grace, and I would much rather dwell on those aspects.  However, He is also a God of justice.  A time is coming when He will judge all who have walked the earth.  At that time, all will truly know that He is the Lord.  For those who have rejected Him, refusing to accept His Son as their Savior, it will be too late.  They will seek peace in vain, with only eternal damnation in front of them.  For this reason, I find it difficult to understand how anyone would reject God while they still have a chance.  Life in Christ is a better life in the here and now.  And, then in judgment, there is eternal life in Him.  One has nothing to lose by believing, and everything to lose by choosing not to believe.  It’s just a no-brainer!
