“There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out” (Luke 13:28).
When the Lord Jesus was on earth, many of the Jews felt that because they were part of the nation of Israel, they would automatically be saved. But there is only one way to be saved, and when most of the Jews rejected the Lord Jesus, they rejected God’s way of salvation. The Lord Jesus warned them that in a coming day, they would be “thrust out,” when godly men like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would be in heaven.
This is true today as well. Many people in western countries (and in other countries as well) go to church and profess to be Christians, but have never truly accepted Christ as their Savior. They are trusting in their own good works, not realizing that those good works will never save them. It will be an awful thing for them to find themselves in hell, when others who believed on the Lord Jesus are in heaven. Are you truly saved?
