1 Peter 4:18

WHERE?

1st Peter 4:18. “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?” WHERE? The day is coming when all will be revealed – All the questions unanswered will be known. There is not a whole lot that is not still concealed – But enough is written down that we’re shown – We who are saved look behind and see How close to hell we had come – But God by His grace brought salvation to me And now I can claim heaven as home.

The end for me is secure – I am saved By grace and God’s power divine. The results of salvation and living by faith – Assure me I am His and He is mine. I truly look forward with anticipation and joy – That danger that stalked me is passed. Now there is peace, Satan no longer can toy With my mind for God gave me life that will last.

But the enemy of souls is working his dangerous ways With those who have turned from God’s grace. His claim on their souls and the lies he says Will take them to such an awful place – That words can’t describe the horrors of hell Separation from God is eternal. All hope is gone – no Gospel will tell Of a way to escape that infernal.

Where will I be and the saved of the Lord? Who in His presence forever we’ll rejoice! Where will we serve Him – the Almighty God? That service will be one of His choice! Where will the lost go that die in their sins?

Hell is ahead of them without any question! After the judgment when they stand before Him – They will be in eternal perdition!

“O God, make me consider again the importance of what I do. Keep me from making comparisons. Help me to see every person as a fellow-traveler to eternity. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
