What if what we do here determines our eternity? What if there is a God and He allows us to have whatever we value down here for the rest of time? What if our free time down here determines what we will do forever? What if our beliefs determine our destiny? The atheist believes there is nothing after this life so they will be given nothing to spend forever in. The muslim will be given his 70 virgins but if he touches them they will no longer be virgins, they will be virgins, forever. The porn pursuer will be given a darkened room and a monitor, forever. Never to partake but only to watch, forever. Hefner will be given his big house and bunnies running around, with no end. Some will get a big screen TV with 150 channels, forever. Hanging out with friends having a few beers, forever. Some of you might be thinking, great, doesn't sound so bad. But, there is a catch. The being who pronounces your sentence will radiate love as the sun radiates light and heat. Once you see Him you will never want to be parted, you will want to just sit at His feet and bask. Then as you go to your self induced eternity you will weep for what might have been. Those who seek Him will find Him, and some of us never give Him a second thought. For all of eternity He will never leave your mind.
Pascal said it pretty well: "What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, ... though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself." [Blaise Pascal, Pensees #425]
I don't really think it will be this way. If we reject the Creator and make gods of ourselves then we reject everything that comes from the Creator. The five senses come from Him, so whomever rejects Him rejects His gifts. We've heard people boast they want to be in hell because all their friends will be there, but community is a gift from the Creator so those that reject Him will be utterly alone.
Here is a link to explain the Good News Once the legal requirement for justice is taken care of then the door is open for a relationship. The relationship is not based on how good we behave but on what has been accomplished for us. We have been accepted into the family. This is the point that churchianity has missed, they concentrate on the behavior and become Pharisees. The Bible doesn't teach behaviors to be accepted, it teaches behavior to show gratefulness. It teaches indicatives come before imperatives, indicatives are described in the Learners Dictionaryas "the form that a verb or sentence has when it is stating a fact that can be known or proved". The Apostle Paul states in numerous places that because we are redeemed by Christ (the fact) we should act a certain way (imperatives), he never states we need to act a certain way in order to be redeemed. If we fail in the imperatives, which we will this side of Heaven, not to worry, our position is based on the Creator's power, not ours.
