Bible Questions Answered:
“...what does it mean the children of the kingdom shall be thrown out into outer darkness?
Sheila/ Mount Vernon, Washington U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Matthew 8:5-13 NLT (The Faith of a Roman Officer)
5 When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with Him,
6 “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”
8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
9 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed. Turning to those who were following Him, He said, “I tell you The Truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!
11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Why? They will be cast out, because of their unbelief!
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
The Jewish nation had rejected Jesus, as being from God, or that He Himself was God. And so they would see nations of other people come sit down with Abraham, in the kingdom, and themselves cast out. Why, because countless others from other nations would believe, and receive Him, and be accepted.
II Timothy 3:5 KJV
Having a form of Godliness, but denying The Power thereof: from such turn away.
John 3:14-21 KJV
14 "...even so must The Son of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Prayer:
Psalm 86:5 KJV
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
John 1:12,13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Titus 3:4-7 NLT
4 But—When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love,
5 He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through The Holy Spirit.
6 He generously poured out The Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
7 Because of His grace He made us right in His sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.
