Today, we have many unsolved mysteries when it comes to crime. There are 211,000 unsolved murders since 1980**. Much of the reason for this is due to the fact that there are not enough police to be able to do the work needed to catch these criminals.
The point is, God knows who the murderers are. Nothing is hidden from His sight.
The Bible talks about one day, all these things will be exposed. Criminals are smug in their accomplishments, but one day, their false assurance will disappear as they will be rightfully charged for the crimes they have done. But this time, they will not be put in jail. The intent of prison is reformation. There will be no reformation in hell. This is the place where people will pay for their crimes and sin against God, who is perfect in holiness and justice.
How about abortion? There will be no abortions in heaven. There will be no murders of any kind in heaven. According to Revelation 21:8, no murderers will be in heaven, and that includes those who are abortionists.
In an interesting way, many who are in authority, leading or influencing our country, are doing many things behind our backs, so to speak. Today, many of these things are being exposed. People are scrambling around coming up with faux defenses for what they are doing.
Take the GMO issue, for example. A 14 year old girl chose to do a research paper on genetically modified organisms, and she ended up on a talk show debating an educated adult who supported the work of creating GMOs. The research she had done exposed things that were going on in the GMO world and why this is a disadvantage for us. The man who took the opposite viewpoint could only say, in return, that there is nothing harmful in creating GMOs.
Did you know that research and testing on the safety of GMO products is done by companies who are mutually benefitted from the companies that create GMOs? Do you think that if the companies that create GMOs in the first place use those who work with them in their research, will get an objective reading of the test results? If the truth comes out and is told, both the researching companies and the GMO creating companies will suffer.
Also, the abortion industry has its secrets that it doesn't want the public to know. One thing that has been seen to be helpful in discouraging abortions is to show the mother to be a picture of what the baby inside her looks like. If the mom could only see that her baby is really a baby with body parts instead of a blob of tissue, she may change her mind about having an abortion. The promoters of abortion would try to discourage those who do scans on babies as they know this could hurt their business.
But something interesting happened a couple of months ago. The company that makes Doritos had a commercial that was intended only to be funny and good advertising for them. They used a picture of a baby inside the womb wanting Doritos. I'm sure the picture of the baby inside the womb looked somewhat accurate for Planned Parenthood was in an uproar over this whole thing.
I have had people tell me that Planned Parenthood is a good organization that helps people to plan families and that they don't murder babies. Perhaps they do talk about other types of birth control besides abortion, but the fact of that matter is, they are pro abortion and will support people who want to have their babies aborted.
Margaret Sanger, who is the founder of Planned Parenthood said this, "The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger is also known as a eugenics activist, which means that she feels an obligation to sterilize people groups such as those who are retarded, or who may have some other undesirable traits.
Here is another quote from Sanger, "Diplomats make it their business to conceal the facts.". Well, she may have done a good job on earth concealing her 'facts' but they are not going to remain hidden. Matthew 10:26 says, "Have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known." (ESV).
Yes, it seems like we can get away with murder these days. But it won't last forever. There will be no murders committed in heaven, nor will there be those who will be angry with others. There will be no sin in heaven. But that leaves us in trouble doesn't it? After all, we are all sinners, right?
We might not have literally killed someone, but our anger against someone is like murder of the heart. Our anger is a heart issue because it has to do with idolatry and wrong affections. We were created to be worshipers of God, and we were created to love Him, more than anything else. But none of us do, and we get angry because we don't get what we want. We have a love for something other than God, and that item of affection is more important to us than God is. That is why we need a Savior from our sins. We need someone to rescue us from ourselves!
You might have killed someone though. Is there no hope for you? There is hope, but the only hope you can have is found in God alone. You cannot atone for your crimes. Someone else did that for you. You can be completely forgiven if you desire to turn away from your sin and if you turn to God, trusting in Jesus as your only Savior from sin.

Murderers who do not repent and turn to God will be thrown in the Lake of Fire. I urge you to get help and seek God for your forgiveness of your sins. Whether you are a literal murderer or not, you need to be cleansed from your sins, and you need a new heart, a heart that loves God and desires to know Him and follow Him in obedience. This new heart loves others too. The only way to receive this new heart is to repent***, turn to God, and trust Jesus as your only Savior from sin.
* GMO stands for genetically modified organisms, which use plants (or animals-even human beings) in a lab and change the DNA structure to create desirable characteristics or traits in the resulting product.

*** Repent means to turn away from sin, selfishness, pride. It involves turning to God. It also involves trusting in the death of Jesus Christ as your payment for your sins. A person who truly repents and turns to God will be made completely clean of sin, and will be given a new heart, and a new power to live a holy life that will be pleasing to God and will bring glory (attention) to God recognized by others.
