PROVERBS 11:7 ' When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perish.'(KJV) This verse should open the eyes of those who reject the teachings of God's Word. (The Bible) when they die they all think (because of false teachings) that they are going to heaven.
They have not read or heard God's Word about the teachings of lost souls do not enter into the kingdom of God. Yet they believe that no matter what they have done--they are still heaven bound.
Everyone you ask--Do you want to go to heaven when you die? They will all say Yes., but when they are told how the Bible says you must do before you die---they hear but they do not receive the message.
Therefore no matter how much they expect--their expectation--that they have been told,will perish--out of false teachings. So the hope (Expectation) of the unjust person (unsaved) will perish. There expectation of heaven's entry for them, will find they had been taught a lie--but by this time it will be to late for them.
Today there are so many ways taught to go to heaven --because of all the ways they have been taught , This is most of the reasons folks refuse the true salvation message and they die believing the lies they have been taught--and end up eternally in the Lake of Fire --in the absence eternally--of the presence of God and the Joy of Heaven--and eternal life.
People must be told the Truth and given a chance to repent of their sins before it is to late.
Today is the day now is the time. Death on Earth removes any possibility to trust Jesus as their own personal Savior.
JOHN 14:6 'JESUS SAYS 'I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me.'(KJV) Don't miss out on His blessings, Trust in Him now. Don't waste time. Have you trusted Jesus only to get to heaven?
