Epiphany.
So-called Christianity in the modern day is not absolutely biblical.
What I mean is what distinguishes Christians and non-Christians is not whether some goes to church or not. It's not even whether they call themselves Christians or not.
The truth is that some of the people who don't believe in Jesus all their lives may end up in heaven, given they repent and believe at the death bed.
Also, someone who believed themselves they were Christians all their lives may not end up in heaven but end up down there, given they deluded themselves, and rejected the relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now, given that I believed someone is a Christian if they call themselves Christians, the fact of the matter is it couldn't be further from the truth.
I may never see that person again after dying.
But I will indeed have a close fellowship with someone who had rejected Jesus all their lives but had a death bed conversion, and turned back to the Lord.
What an irony.
So the truth is I may never know what happens to each of us until we get there.
Then we'll know clearly and surely who had a close personal relationship with Jesus, had a change of heart, repented and trusted in Him, even though the period of time to trust in Jesus may only have been 3 seconds.
The truth is:
Salvation is of the Lord.
Jonah 2:9
