Matthew 8:12
Matthew 8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The concept of being cast into outer darkness serves as a profound reminder of the consequences that can await those who choose a path away from God’s grace. This imagery of “weeping and gnashing of teeth” not only symbolizes anguish and regret but also reinforces the weight of divine judgment. It’s a call to self-reflection, urging one to examine their life and choices carefully. While God is merciful, He is also just, and the rejection of His kingdom has spiritual consequences that extend beyond this life. This message invites believers to not take lightly the grace offered to them, as it is a precious gift that leads to eternal peace rather than eternal separation. For those who embrace God’s love and follow His commandments, there is assurance of being part of His kingdom. Living in the light of His presence brings a sense of peace and fulfillment. However, this passage serves as a solemn reminder that there is an outcome for those who choose otherwise. It emphasizes the importance of making decisions that align with God’s teachings and encourages believers to seek His grace wholeheartedly.

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure.
Psalm 86:13
For great is thy mercy toward me and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mark 9:43
It is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched.
