They weren’t spared, what about you?

The evil spirits that steal, kill and destroy nowadays used to be pure angels, saints, who faithfully served the Creator thousands, millions, or maybe even billions of years ago.

They were brought into existence to serve as messengers of the Almighty. They lived in His presence, shared His Light and they were also light in the kingdom of heaven.


Today, doomed to be demons for all of eternity, they fight fervently to divert those who seek to gain what they lost.

What did they do to lose their angelic nature?

They sinned. They disobeyed the discipline of the Kingdom of God. Because of that, Divine justice did not spare them. They were cast to hell and chained to the pits of darkness, where they will wait for Judgment Day.

Conclusion: If God did not spare the rebellious angels back then, will He spare those who rebel against His Word today?

The same happened with mankind during the time of Noah. The Lord saw that people were corrupt and decided to put an end to all of the life on earth by sending a great flood. Among thousands of people, only Noah and his family were saved.
That corrupt society was not spared, will He spare today’s corrupt society?

Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous.” Genesis 18.20

Having proven that those inhabitants lived a life of debauchery, indulging in filthy lusts of the flesh, to the point of turning sex into cult worship, along with performing many other wicked acts, the Lord brought down fire and brimstone upon them. He turned them into ash and made an example out of them, warning others who wish to live a similar lifestyle.
Weren’t there innocent children? Newborns? Animals? No one escaped Divine judgment that day, except for Lot and his two daughters.
So will He spare those who live in a similar or even worse situation nowadays?

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly. 2 Peter 2:4-6

If the Almighty did not spare sinners in the past, how can we be spared unless we repent before the salvation He has proposed?
