What should we be mindful about concerning the eternal doom of the lost?
We should be mindful that the eternal doom of the lost is beyond comprehension. Its most horrible aspect is constant regret: the lost will realize they did not have to be there and missed glory by something as simple as believing the gospel. This is sobering.
Les explains that one of the most horrible aspects of the punishment of lost people is that constant regret. They will realize they are there, and they did not have to be. That is awful, because they miss glory by something so simple as believing the gospel. It is sobering. As much as we would love to see the Lord come today, the only thing that tempers that enthusiasm is the fact that maybe today, maybe tomorrow, a few will still be saved and escape all this. Therefore, it behooves us to be mindful that the eternal doom of the lost is something beyond our comprehension.
