GOD speaks to man, and upon man is thrown the responsibility to heed and believe God. If man persist in passing through life in unbelief, he does so at his everlasting peril, and if he dies in his unbelief, he dies in hopeless darkness. The consequences of unbelief lie at each unbeliever’s door; it is so in human things, how much more so in the things of God.
At this present time, “God... commandeth all men everywhere to repent: because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31.) To refuse God’s command is simply to brave His wrath. Such as persist in braving God’s wrath may well lay to heart what their defiance of God will end in. There will be wrath, and no escape, no hope, but everlasting doom.
