Re: The Reality of our choice
Good and bad people die.
Heb. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
But only the wicked die the second death.
Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Ezekiel 33 is a warning to the wicked to change their ways.
Of course God is going to say Israel, He had no covenant with any one else.
Heb. 8:8 ...Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
If you and I are going to heaven, it will have to be under the covenant that God made with Israel.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
