They Cannot Pass

John Bunyan said that it will be the Law that will damn sinners from Heaven. He warned, "And, indeed, this Law is the flaming sword that turns every way; yes, that lies to this day in the way to Heaven, for a bar to all unbelievers and unsanctified professors ... " They cannot bypass the sword that flames with the burning heat of perfect and eternal justice. It moves its sharp and fiery blade at lightning speed to cut down all who transgress its perfect precepts. As the Scriptures say, it will make sure that "every transgression ... will receive a just recompense of reward." (Hebrews 2:2) We must never forget that that sword fell on the Savior so that we could pass by its razor-sharp blade. Now we can serve Him in reverence and godly fear.( See Hebrews 12:28) There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
