When speaking about an unrepentant, hardened heart...Jesus said it would have been better for that person to have never been born. Sound harsh? It's actually a statement of love. Jesus was warning His disciples about the finality of a decision made for Him...or against Him. As our Father, He wants all of us to be with Him in heaven. If a person was never born...they could never make the decision that would see them spend eternity in hell. Jesus went to the cross to save everybody...but we still have to make that choice for ourselves. We are headed to hell from the moment we are born, so there is no such thing as choosing nothing.
