rejecting Jesus or His forgiveness is liken to the following scenario:
i was driving and i knocked down a child.
i knew that i was in deep *h*t
even as i was being led away by the police, i was worrying how my life would end up. would i end up in jail? would i have to pay a heavy price for this mistake i have done?
then i appeared in court, and the Judge happened to be the child's father.
He, instead of prosecuting me and sending me to jail, told me that he has already forgiven me, and that he wanted to set me free.
but then, i reject him, and said , "let me pay for my own mistakes",
and so, the Judge sentenced me to many years in jail, my license revoked, and to pay a heavy fine for the mistakes i have done.
so...how can we blame God for sending us to eternal fire if we are to say, "let us reject God' forgiveness through Jesus, and let us take the punishment of our sin unto ourselves!"?
