Matthew 25:46
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
This passage offers a stark contrast between the eternal destinies of the righteous and the wicked. The righteous are promised eternal life, while the wicked face eternal punishment. This verse calls us to reflect on our choices and actions, as they have eternal consequences. It speaks to the importance of living in righteousness and aligning our lives with God's will. Eternal life is not something we can take for granted but a reward for those who follow the path of righteousness. Conversely, the reality of eternal punishment for the wicked serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of making right choices today. As believers, we are called to live with eternity in mind, knowing that our decisions, our actions, and our hearts matter in the light of God's justice. The contrast here reminds us to prioritize living according to God’s will so that we may inherit the promise of eternal life.
