What does rejecting God's offer of salvation mean?
Rejecting God's offer of salvation means rejecting a pardon—a decree that sets a person right as if they had never broken the law, completely wiping the slate clean. It means walking underfoot what was all paid for and facing an eternity of regret, knowing I didn't have to be here.
Les teaches that the eternal doom of the wicked is awful not because of the heat of the flames or unsatisfying appetites, but because it is an eternity of regret. The lost will say, I didn't have to be here; this was all paid for, and I rejected it. He explains that this is what the world is doing today—walking it underfoot. It is rejecting a pardon, which is a decree that sets you right back as if you had never broken the law, a complete wiping the slate clean. That is what lost men, women, boys, and girls do when they reject God's offer of salvation.
