Revelation 21:8

The wretched state of the ungodly Revelation 21:8: In sharp contrast to the state of the righteous John wrote of the state of the ungodly. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8) This is the final description of those that do not overcome.

Observe these sins: (1) the fearful are those that in cowardice chooses self and safety before Christ. God's faithful people must do the right thing and to hold fast to the faith. (2) Unbelief is the result of spiritual wickedness. (3) The abominable likely were participants in the rites of paganism and the unmentionable perversions of that day. (4) Murderers do not respect God and therefore have no respect for human life. (5) Fornicators violate the eternal law of God by their sexual behavior. (6) Sorcerers practice an especially despicable sin because they try to substitute some other power for that of God. (7) Idolaters give the glory that should belong to the Creator to the creation. (8) Liars can never be pleasing to God. God cannot allow any place in heaven for those that practice these things. They "shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
