We understand that you are concerned about the eternal destiny of those who fall into the categories mentioned in Revelation 21:8. This verse is a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and the importance of living a life that honors God. Let us first quote the verse in the World English Bible (WEB) translation:
"But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
This passage underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through believing in Jesus that we can be saved from eternal punishment. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray for those who are caught in sin and for our own hearts to remain steadfast in faith:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts, knowing that many are trapped in sin and unbelief. We pray for those who are fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars. Lord, we ask that You convict their hearts and draw them to Yourself. Help them to see the error of their ways and turn to You in repentance.
We also pray for ourselves, that we may stand firm in our faith and not be swayed by the temptations of this world. Give us the strength to live lives that honor You and to be a light to those around us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. If you or someone you know is struggling with any of the sins mentioned in Revelation 21:8, encourage them to turn to Jesus, confess their sins, and receive His forgiveness and salvation.
As we are concerned about the nature of a person's eternal destiny and have a desire to help them, it is important to take actions with the person. We need to interact with them so more information can be gained for informed specific prayer and counseling. A blessing of giving a release of truth and salvation is available for us to have everlasting life. Accept Jesus Christ's death on the cross as the sacrifice for your sins and said this prayer:
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.
Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.
Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.
Amen.
