What is my state "Now", if I have not yet received Jesus Christ?

If we reject Jesus, many things will happen including the following:
Before physical death:
-
We will remain separated from God in a condemned state because of our sins.
According to Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death (Spiritual separation), but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." John 3:18 say, "...but whoever does not believe (in Jesus) is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the Son of God."
-
We are destined to eternal death (Lake of Fire).
According to Rev 20:14-15, “Then the death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire (Hell) and if anyone’s name is not found recorded in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
1 John 5:12, "...whoever does not have the Son of God does not have the life (Eternal life)." -
Our hearts will be filled with anxiety and fear, as we come face to face with death.
because of my sin." Proverbs 12:25, "Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word (word of assurance from God) makes him glad."
How true it is! Especially when we become old or come close to the point of death, we will become anxious, frightened and depressed. We panic, and do not want to die. We want to cling on to this life at all cost. We want to get well and continue to live here on earth forever with our loved ones. Our minds will be filled with hopelessness and a deep sense of loneliness and fear will fill our hearts because of the uncertain future.
What a tragic end that will be!
Jesus told Martha, in John 11:25, "I am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again. Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again. He is given eternal life for believing in me and shall never perish. Do you believe this Martha? She replied, 'Yes, Master,' I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the we have so long waited."
