The Most Tragic Choice - #6143
God asks this sobering question in Hebrews 2:3, our word for today from the Word of God, "How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?" That's how most people miss heaven. They don't out-and-out reject what Jesus did. They just ignore His rescue; either not caring or mistakenly thinking that they'll make it out somehow. They won't. Only Jesus can save you.

No Such Thing as Getting Away With it - #6086
There's really no such thing as "secret sin." If God knows, it's no secret. If God knows, you're caught. And you can be sure God knows, and He loves you too much to let you ultimately get away with rebellion against Him, with things that eat away your soul that slowly destroy you. And the best time to turn around is right now, because the bill is getting higher every day.

Research insights into the Date of Revelation - Into Thy Word Ministries
Why is the dating of Revelation so important? Because it sets up what approach or view one will take—which of the four. Two of them, the Preterist and Futurist views, are predominately hinged on it.

Expectations - a Christian perspective
What can we expect if, having heard the Gospel, we ignore it and continue sinning? We can expect only judgment unless we change our ways and give our lives over to God's service.

"Cast the first stone" in the Bible: John 8:7
Jesus faced a mob that was eager to execute a woman caught in adultery. He put a stop to it with a simple challenge: anyone who has no sin in their life should step forward and throw the first stone. That sentence is often cited as a reminder to avoid judging others when there are faults in your own life that need to be addressed.

"Judge" in the Bible: Matthew 7:1-5
It's a natural human impulse to judge and criticize others, to note how they don't measure up to our standards in one way or another. But the Bible is clear about the role of judgment in our lives: we should focus on our judging eyes on ourselves and our own ample faults, rather than obsessing on the flaws of other people.

"Stone" in the Bible: John 8:1-11
"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone." With this simple phrase, Jesus silenced an angry crowd ready to execute a women caught in adultery. His words challenged them to judge themselves before judging others.

Judgment in the Bible: 2 Corinthians 5:10
In many places throughout the Bible, we are told that some sort of final judgment and reckoning awaits us upon Christ's return--a time when people will be called to account before God for their actions, good or evil.
