It wasn’t used properly
30 October 2022The sudden death of atheists, unbelievers and the unrepentant is a terrible thing, with dreadful consequences. Because the time given by God to these particular people in this present life hasn’t been used properly. They haven’t defined themselves in a positive way as regards God, themselves and other people. This is apparent from the fact that they haven’t lived in repentance, nor in awareness of God. So their communion with God, their participation in eternal, divine bliss after their death is at risk.
