He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John [[3:18|bible.64.3.18]]) [emphasis added]
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (Mark [[16:16|bible.62.16.16]]) [emphasis added]
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John [[3:36|bible.64.3.36]]) [emphasis added]
And this is the testimony: that 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. (1Jn. [[5:11-12|bible.83.5.11-83.5.12]]) [emphasis added]
See Book of Life.The redeemed will be blessed with God's intimate presence for eternity, but these go away into torment and eternal separation from all that is good--God. "These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power" (2Th. [[1:9|bible.74.1.9]]).Yes, O man! O woman! whoever you may be, your biography is written. An unerring hand has recorded every item, with every secret thing. There is not an ill thought, a mean act, a scene of wrong in all your history, a dirty transaction, a filthiness of speech, or a base feeling that ever found entertainment in your heart, but is there described in bold hand, by its true name, and set down to your account, to be then brought forth for final settlement, if not clean blotted out through faith in Christ's blood before this present life of yours is ended.1
And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him! (Luke [[12:4-5|bible.63.12.4-63.12.5]]) [emphasis added]
