BUT THE COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEVING / REVELATION 21:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

BUT THE COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEVING / REVELATION 21:8

God mentions several classes of people whose place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur (Revelation 20:14).

  1. The “cowardly” are those who lack faith in God and who fear the disapproval and threat of people more than they value loyalty to Christ and the truth of His Word. Their personal security and status among others on earth mean more to them than faithfulness to God. “The cowardly” include the compromisers among God’s people who give up the spiritual fight and do not overcome evil (Mark 8:35; 1 Thessalonians 2:4; 2 Timothy 2:12-13).
  2. The “unbelieving” includes those who have never believed or trusted God, those who have rejected His truth, as well as those who once believed in Christ but abandoned their faith in God. Such people choose to follow their own selfish interests and lusts. As a result, they are overcome by various sins, such as those listed here.
  3. The “vile” are those whose behavior directly offends God and provokes His anger. This applies particularly to those who claim to follow Christ but do things that defy the principles of His Word. Such attitudes and actions are detestable to God.
  4. “Murderers” are those who deliberately, willfully or knowingly take human life without justifiable purpose (according to God’s Word) through their choices and actions.
  5. “Sexually immoral” people are those who defiantly engage in behaviors that cross God’s boundaries and guidelines for sexual intimacy.
  6. “Those who practice magic arts” include those involved in sorcery, witchcraft, secret rituals and incantations, or drug-induced experiences, particularly in the name of religion.
  7. “Idolaters” are those who worship false gods or anything in place of the one true God.
  8. “Liars” are all those who live and act deceitfully, including those in leadership roles and those who deny the truth of Christ and His Word.

Many churches today proclaim that it is possible for a person to be a true child of God while at the same time engaging in the practices mentioned above. Such people contradict God’s clear words here (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:5-7).
