The unbeliever receives the second death while the believer receives eternal life and eternal peace. That's the entire point of Romans 8:5-6.
“Do not be bound together with unbelievers,” says Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:14, “for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” Believers can and should relate to unbelievers' situations, but we must never emulate their lifestyles of separation from God.
God Is No Longer Holding Men's Sins Against Them
Sin will kill you, but it's no longer an issue between God and man. Although unbelievers aren't saved, their sin is forgiven.
Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 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.
2 Corinthians 6:17 GW
The Lord says, “Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you.”
Some people are confused about that. The Bible makes it clear that the Holy Spirit does not indwell the unbeliever, for the Spirit comes only to those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. Romans 8:9 says, "You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the spirit of God dwells in you."
According to 1 Corinthians 13, believers are to love the unlovable. We are to love people who do not appreciate our love, do not reciprocate in kind, are demanding, and think of themselves as entitled. Maria found showing Christian love to unlovable people a difficult Scriptural admonition to accept.
Conclusion. Testify that to receive eternal life, we must be willing to put away the things of the world and serve the Lord with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. Encourage class members to be grateful for earthly blessings but strive to view them in the proper perspective.
Jesus says, “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life!” (John 5:24).
According to 1 John, “Sin that leads to death is deliberate refusal to believe in Jesus Christ, to follow God's commands, and to love one's brothers. It leads to death because it includes a deliberate refusal to believe in the One who alone can give life, Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (248).
God is right to save sinners and to satisfy his justice through the death of his Son Jesus, and he is likewise right to deny salvation to sinners. If you are a Christian today, this should cause your heart to swell with renewed gratitude.
Yes, the Bible teaches us to pray for unbelievers, and particularly to pray for their salvation — but not only for their salvation, but also lots of blessings of other kinds that flow from salvation or lead to their salvation.
If you're not a believer — that is, if you don't believe in something — you're an unbeliever. This noun usually turns up in religious contexts, either as another word for an atheist (someone who doesn't believe in any god or deity), or simply to denote someone who isn't a follower of a certain religion.
Moreover, some translations of the Bible, including the King James Version, which is still in vogue today, employ the word infidel, while others have supplanted the term with nonbeliever.
a person who lacks belief or faith, as in God, a religion, an idea, or an undertaking.
As for the rest of humankind, after the final judgment, it is expected that the righteous will receive eternal life and live forever on an Earth turned into a paradise. Those granted immortality in heaven are absolutely immortal and cannot die by any cause. Even God himself wouldn't be able to kill them.
Surrender: The Key to Eternal Life is a deep meditation on topics such as the cultivation of humility and selflessness, as well as on the detrimental effects of envy, anxiety, and boredom. As usual, Bhakti Tīrtha Swami's work contains specific and practical ways to engage in spiritual life.
2) John 3:16-17
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Scripture again informs us of this fact. “The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23; “By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8; “Let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” Revelations 22:17.
Quote by Chuck Palahniuk: “The first step to eternal life is you have to die.”
The Bible uses the phrase in a positive sense. It is a quality of life that begins on earth and continues in heaven (Romans 6:4). It's something Jesus gives next to which all other life just isn't quite life at all. Eternal life is a free gift, offered only through Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 6:14 in Other Translations
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
The world teaches us that unlovable people should be ill-treated because they deserve it. Yet the Bible teaches us differently, Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and to love the unlovable (Luke 6:27-28).
So to be yoked to an unbeliever must mean something other than being friends, even close friends, with an unbeliever. The word “yoke” is a farming term describing two animals yoked together to plow a field. In the OT God commanded the Jews not to yoke a donkey and an ox together because it would be a mismatch.
