What will be our state if we had rejected Jesus Christ?

1. After we die physically

Our souls will be taken to a place of unrighteous dead, where we will begin our unending suffering straight away, while waiting there for the judgment day of God.

Jesus said in the Holy Bible, in Luke 16:19-24,

"There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desires to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

"The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted us his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out,

'Father Abraham, have mercy on, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am, in anguish in this flame.'"

2. On the Day of Judgment

We will be brought before the judgment seat of God.

"Just as it is appointed for man to die once and then comes the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

"And I saw a great white throne and the one who sat upon it, from whose face the earth and sky fled away, but they found no place to hide. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before God; and the Books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to the things written in the Books, each according to the deeds he had done. The oceans surrendered the bodies in them; and earth and the underworld gave up the dead in them. Each was judged according to his deeds. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death -- the Lake of Fire. And if anyone's name was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire" (Revelation 20:11-15).

Bible also gives us a grave description of the Lake of fire?

"And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophets are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever" (Revelations 20:10).

"While the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness (Hell), where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12).

3. We will be in great pain and suffering with no one to comfort us. This is an everlasting tormenting state with no second chance.

We will remain in that state for eternity. That will be terrifying and tragic to imagine. Think of it. God has given us enough warnings so that we can make a wise decision now. We must make that decision before our final journey into the unknown while we are still sober.

"And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us" (Luke 16:26).

Death is for sure and we have to face it one day or other. With Christ in our hearts we can always be ready to face death with confidence.

(Jesus speaking) "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (Revelation 3:20)

"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:11-13).

Here is how you can receive Jesus Christ.
