Ghost Whisperer is a show on WeTv and the main character has the ability to see the dead (ghosts) in order to help them take care of unfinished business with "the living". Then it dawned on me, the "unfinished business" never involved repenting for their sins toward God but every one that is dead after finishing their unfinished business walks into a bright, warm light where heaven is awaiting them. At least the rich man that died and was being tormented in Luke 16 had the mind to ask if Lazarus (the dead) would return to his brothers in order "to testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment."
Unfortunately, that is not the order of things. The once rich man was informed that even if one goes to them from the dead, they will not repent.
For every time you hear the preached Word, or every time you come across an article, or Bible lesson that beckons you to come to Jesus...take heed. Thank God for the knock on the door of your heart and consider how you will not receive a house call from the dead to warn you.
Do not harden your hearts!
If tomorrow is not promised but hell is for them that reject the Way, the Truth and the Life, and you are in that number on your way to experience the 2nd death, know that you can't come back to warn your family and friends. You can't warn loved ones. By then its too late!
God already made a house-call when he sent us his only begotten Son from heaven to earth to die for the sins of the world. (John 3:16-17)
For whatever reason, when the call gets closer to home and God is specifically ringing your bell by way of reading this article, consider your soul and if you love your loved ones as much as you say you do, then its time you made a house-call!
Remember, when you are dead, its too late. You won't be able to make phone calls beyond the grave!
And let's be honest, if a dead loved one did happen to appear with the intention of warning you from spending eternity in hell, before they were able to get a word in edge wise, you would be running trying to get away from them let alone have a conversation with them about your soul!
