A: The Wrong Way

God loves you so much, he does not want to violate your free will. If you ultimately choose to deny Him and His salvation, He will support your decision by letting you pay for your own sin. By sinning against your parents, you are usually sentenced to a ‘grounding’. By sinning against a spouse, you can be sentenced to divorce. By sinning against the government, you can be sentenced to prison. You’ll notice that as the authority increases, so does the punishment. So, it’s easy to understand that sinning against a righteous and eternally holy God will result in eternal separation from Him. It doesn’t have to be this way, but many choose it. Try not to forget, eternity has a funny way of lasting a really, really, REALLY long time.
