Matthew 10:14-15 (NIV) 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15 I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
2 Timothy 2:12 (NIV) If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us.
The love of God, with arms extended on a cross, bars the way to hell. But if that love is ignored, rejected, and finally refused, there comes a time when love can only weep while man pushes into the self-chosen alienation which Christ went to the cross to avert. —Michael Green
