Ephesians 4:17-20, "This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ,"

We are all living in a sinful world and believe it or not, everyday we are commiting sins be it known or unknown to us. We may heed to temptations such as worldly pleasures and carnal desires or anything that is simple or not type of sin. The point of no return is when a human sinned and cannot feel guilty at all. This is the point wherein a human cannot be changed whatever we do or cannot be forgiven by the Almighty.

THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE POINT OF NO RETURN IN THE BIBLE

1. Sodom and Gommorah

If you have read the Bible, maybe you are familiar with the place Sodom and Gommorah that God destroyed through raining brimstone and fire. As you read Genesis chapter 19 we could see how wicked and barbaric the people who are residing their. They enjoy so much worldly pleasures as they continue to worship idols. They forgot the Lord God and they disgraced Him too. Sodom and Gommorah becomes a metaphor to something that is evil and wicked. People who are staying in Sodom and Gommorah's sin reach heaven and it is too much to the point they cannot change anymore and they will not be saved whatever they do so they need to be destroyed.

2. People on the Flood

For sure we are all familiar with Noah's ark. As it says in Genesis 6: 5-6, "then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He made man on earth, and He was grieved in His heart." The evil people during this time reach the point of no return but God saw the righteous Noah so he instructed him to build an ark to save him and his family. After that, the evil people were all destroyed by flood.

3. Judas Escariot

"The kiss of betrayal" is the first thing that came up on my mind as I read or hear the name Judas Escariot. Judas is one of the disciples of Jesus during his ministry here on earth. He sell Jesus in exchange of 20 pieces of silver. He is the reason why Jesus was caught and nailed on the cross at Calvary. When he realized what he had done, instead of kneeling to pray and asked for forgiveness, he ended his own life. He just committed another sin to the point of no return.

4. Lucifer

Lucifer was once the most beautiful angel in heaven. He is the highest ranking angel and called as the "son of the morning." Nevertheless, everything changed because of jealousy and pride. Lucifer ignited a war in heaven causing him and the angels eho followed him cast out from heaven. Now, he is living as Satan the devil, the father of lies and he continue to deceive the nations resulting him to the point of no return.

3 THINGS THAT LEAD PEOPLE TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN

1. Phorosis

Phorosis means to petrify or a stone that was harden by marble. When a human's heart harden like a rock that person is a candidate or already in the point of no return. The heart of the human hardened because of ignorance. Ignorance on how to forgive, how to love, and how to live a Christ-like life here on earth. They cannot feel guilt anymore. They cannot identify what is sinful acts and not.

2. Aselgia

Aselgia talks about filthy things such as vices; a sensuality, a lust of desires. Whatever their hearts desires be it good or evil, they will do everything to have it. All they want is worldly pleasures such as carnal desires. The body is the temple of God but people who are under aselgia is slowly destroying their body and spirit resulting them to go to the point of no return.

3. Pleoneksia

Pleoneksia is about the practice of arrogant greediness, the unlawful desire for things which belongs to other. People who have pleoneksia wants everything that is pleasing to their eyes will be on their possessions. Their greediness is the reason why they will end up doing evil things that will lead them to the point of no return.

We will, and we will always encounter temptations, trials and problems everyday. Satan and his angels are very good in their job to pull down people to the point of no return where they were so that more people will suffer the same faith like them. We should and must always be careful in our every action. If we feel we are already losing the light of God that shines on us, lets all pray and kneel and ask for the Lord's guidance.

Jeremiah 17:9, "the heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" As what Jeremiah 17:9 says, we should not heed to our heart's desires for the heart is deceitful of all. Lets all pray together to be successful on these trials of life.
