I have included a special message at the end of this article for those who have reached the point where the burden of evidence that the world is spinning out of control is overwhelming. I hope you will read and take to heart what God requires in order to give His free gift of eternal life, as He has declared is His will for all who trust in Him.
Perdition: Meaning and reference. Appears 8 times in the English Bible.
In the biblical context, “perdition” refers to:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Emphasis added.
The obvious meaning is that all other means and methods which are devised in the mind of man (man imagined “religions,” precepts and teachings) would result from denying God’s Authority. That would also mean that His Kingdom and the blessing of eternal life that accompanies it would never be realized.
There are only two eternal outcomes at the end of this life. There is no nihilism (ceasing to exist entirely); therefore, as God determined by His own authority, Jesus Christ must be received or rejected, and the consequences either received joyfully, or if rejected, dreaded in expectation of what God has made clear can only be described as eternal, but never attainable, death. Hopeless separation from God, Love, and Light.
“The unrepentant are cast into the “lake of fire,” called the “second death” (Revelation 21:8). Emphasis added.
Every human will ultimately exist forever in one place or the other.
The underlying and only reason for a person to reject such a merciful gift is pride. The same sin and evil that Satan exploited to bring man down still works today, despite a world of misery and death that is a witness to its results.
