2 Samuel 14:14 reveals God does not take away life; instead he devises ways for the banished to be restored.

Certainly everyone dies in this world but no one dies in the worlds to come.

Some live forever with God on the new earth enjoying Him, their family and friends for all eternity in comfort, peace and joy. Others will forever in torment paying eternally for their arrogance and refusal to recognize and follow Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords.

It is the desire of the heavenly Father for all people everywhere to reconcile with Him through humble surrender.

The means for reconciliation has been provided in Jesus the Christ but people must choose for themselves which life they will have forever.

God has removed men from the earth; He destroyed the world and everyone on it except one family in the days of Noah. God always devises a plan for restoration. God removed the inhabitants of the Promised Land so that His chosen people could dwell there. But He waited 400 years until the stench of their sin became unreconcilable to His holiness. God devised a way for them to be restored.

God sees all people as His children but all of His children must see Him as their Father if they are to live with Him in His coming Kingdom.

God has proven His love and commitment to humanity by sacrificing His Son so we could receive His pardon and thus be restored.

Will we prove our love for God by surrendering our pride and then obey Him as Lord in Jesus the Savior demonstrating our restoration?
