Wishful Thinking

Wishful thinking is a useless endeavor, as there is nothing concrete to support its conclusions. Yet, too many have pinned their hopes upon hollow suppositions that have no basis in reality. Then it’s not surprising to find that the majority of those who shall surely perish have created a far different narrative than is true to describe the hereafter and how they shall spend eternity.

So while some might think it foolish to believe in an afterlife, and thereby dismiss the notion of its existence altogether, many more have hung their hat upon a fantasy, confident they shall step into paradise on the other side of this life. Sadly, very few will discover their mistake before it is too late.

And so countless shall be the number who pass on to eternity without being saved, as this sum is enumerated from every generation of man, even those currently walking the earth. For among these billions, only a handful are counted as belonging to Christ, thus having found the genuine path to eternal bliss. The greater percentage, in all likelihood, is doomed, as very few shall choose the road of righteousness.

Then simply because someone “thinks” he is glory-bound does not make his assertion true. For while he may rest upon this assumption, without an honest confession of faith in the Savior, he too shall sadly join the vast multitudes who presumed those “pearly gates” awaited them, instead of the actual fate they shall face: one that is filled with neverending anguish and woe. And although some may even make light of their plight by perpetuating the myth that the pit is one ongoing party, this is just another delusional depiction that is nothing close to the truth. For there shall be no raucous behavior or ongoing revelry amongst those who are banished to outer darkness, as that void is absent any form of camaraderie.

Then it is not only those who worship at the altars of foreign gods that shall be banished from My sight, but all who refuse to bow their knee to My throne. For among the rebellious dwell those that have put “wishful thinking” ahead of the Truth, wanting to cross eternity’s threshold on their own terms, believing that the scenario they have created about their entrance into the next realm shall actually come to pass.

Oh, the foolishness of man! When will he realize that My Son is the only hope for his soul? For He alone is the way to the Father, the only surety of every soul, and without the name of Jesus, inscribed upon a person’s heart, it is eternal separation from Me that they shall know.

Therefore, let none be found betting their eternal future upon baseless beliefs. Instead, turn to the One who has the power to save you, and that being, Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Redeemer of the World.
