Coward: "a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things" (acc. to an online dictionary).
Rev. 21:8 (speaking of those who will not be a part of the new Jerusalem)
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
The murderers, right...
sexually immoral, right...
sorcerers, obviously...
liars, heard that before...
the cowardly...wait, what?
The cowardly? Those who lacked courage? Those who shrunk back in fear? Those who consistently and regularly did so? What! Apparently God says that His kingdom is no place for the cowardly. How often I am guilty of this? God, help me to be courageous for Your sake. God, let your people: "the Christians", be noted as "a people of courage".
Lord, help us. Amen.
