In Matthew 25:46, Jesus explains that some will face eternal punishment while others will receive eternal life. People today rarely speak about heaven or hell. Some even claim that if hell is real, it cannot last forever. Yet Jesus taught that it is eternal, just as eternal life is.
The future after death is not temporary. It will either be everlasting separation from God or everlasting life with Him. Jesus spoke about this truth more than anyone else, making it clear that people should not dismiss His words or reshape them into something easier to accept.
Instead of ignoring this teaching, we are called to take hold of the hope Jesus offers. The choice remains before each person. Will you accept his free gift, or chose to stay in darkness and reject Him?
Jesus said to him, βI am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
