The Lord's Servant

"And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:24-25

Those who are in the faith have been evangelizing the unbelievers with wise, patient and gentle words, so that they may be led to the knowledge of life in the Lord Jesus and His powerful Word, resulting in repentance of sins.

Second Death

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelations 21:8

Those who practice one or more of these offenses may even get away with it before the human justice, but will by no means escape the eternal condemnation, which is the second death.

Faith put to the Test

"...so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7

Our faith is constantly being tested through the our daily trials, which causes us to feel the burning fire. But such trials are essential in order to strengthen our trust in God and to reveal the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world.
