Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

 

 

  (Just one of 1200 quotations in Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct )

As Christians, we should realize that life is the boot camp for eternity… while our goal should be eternity with God, those who reject this goal do not merely ‘go to jail’, they go to hell forever…Little time or monies is expended on our souls.   This disparity should cause us concern since our souls live for eternity, while our bodies will undergo corruption in the near future.   We seem to be foolishly investing in the material to the exclusion of the spiritual. Mary Ann Budnik

[How many souls are lost because we neither share this Truth nor meditate on it] (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ…Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of heaven – through a purification or immediately – or immediate and everlasting damnation.  Catechism of the Catholic Church 1022    

      (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )     I am sure many lost souls in hell right now would cry out to preachers and writers if they could: Oh, why did you not tell us more about the horrors of hell? Why did you not strike such fear into our hearts by your realistic description of hell that we would have made greater efforts to avoid it?...Why did you spare our feelings in a matter of such eternal moment? Oh, why did you not make hell a thousand times hotter than you did, then perhaps we would not be here today?  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.    [This is just one of 1200 thought-provoking and faith-building quotations you will find in Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! - Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct ]
