God Has No Pleasure in the Death of Sinners, but Because He cannot Save Them in Their Sinfulness, He Withdraws Life from Them ㅡ
“Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
(Ezekiel 18:23, 31)
They who have been “accounted worthy” of the resurrection of life are “blessed and holy.” “On such the second death hath no power.” Revelation 20:6.
But those who have not, through repentance and faith, secured pardon, must receive the penalty of transgression—“the wages of sin.”
They suffer punishment varying in duration and intensity, “according to their works,” but finally ending in the second death.
Since it is impossible for God, consistently with His justice and mercy, to save the sinner in his sins, He deprives him of the existence which his transgressions have forfeited and of which he has proved himself unworthy.
Says an inspired writer: “Yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.”
And another declares: “They shall be as though they had not been.” Psalm 37:10; Obadiah 16. Covered with infamy, they sink into hopeless, eternal oblivion.
(The Great Controversy 544.2)
