Lady Di's Greatest Tragedy

Where Is She Now?

In the previous section we saw that there is a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun.

We discovered that we will all face Judgment after we die. Jesus Christ is the Judge. We read God's Testimony that all of us have sinned and need to be saved and forgiven before we can enter Heaven.

We understood, that God accepts only one sacrifice for our sins. That none of our good works will save us from eternal punishment in Hell. Only truly trusting in Jesus' Sacrifice on our behalf will stay the wrath of God.

We heard that the Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty God in the Flesh, came and died for us all.

Does that mean everyone is forgiven, and going to Heaven? No!

Here's Why

God Has Given Us the Responsibility of ChoosingTo Accept or To Reject Jesus' Sacrifice

To all who receive him (Jesus), to all who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God... born of God. Holy Bible, Jn. 1:12 NIV

How shall we escape if we ignore such great salvation? Heb. 2:3

See to it... that none of you has a sinful unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. Heb. 3:12

Jesus Christ has done all that needs to be done to save everybody, but we each have to believe it in our heart, and tell it before we can be saved.

If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord (God)" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. You will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Ro. 10:9-10

Was this Di's heart belief, and continual testimony? No.

Is it yours?

Everyone Who's Not Received Jesus as Saviour, and been Born Again will Perish in Hell Forever

Jesus said, "Unless you repent, you too will all perish (in Hell)." Lk. 13:3+5

No-one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again. Jn. 3:3

You must be born again! Jn. 3:7

Whoever does not believe (in Christ) stands condemned (to Hell) already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. Jn. 3:18

Whoever rejects the Son will not see life for God's wrath remains on them. Jn. 3:36

The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic (fortune telling astrology etc.) The idolators and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur (Hell). Rev. 21:8

I was in that list, are you? Was Di?

How many lies do you have to tell to be a liar? Just one.

What is sexually immorality? Any sex (real or imaginary) between an unmarried couple.

The Greatest Tragedy of Diana's Life.

The greatest tragedy of Diana, Princess of Wales was not her disastrous loveless marriage, nor even her divorce and violent death. It is more than her emotionally scarred childhood, and consequent unstable character.

It Is This:

All her life, like you and me, she sought genuine love, unconditional acceptance, and yearned to share such love with hurting people.

In marrying the future king she assumed she would be joining the most solid family imaginable. Her future looked secure, happy, and assured in the "perfect relationship".

Instead, she soon found torment, insecurity, and bitterness. And try as hard as she might, she could not give what she did not have.

Real love, unconditional love, is only found in one person, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Love is not romance, love is not an emotion. Love is Jesus the Son of God laying down his life for us sinners. God is love, and Christ's death on our behalf is the perfect example of real love. There is no other.

Romance is fickle, and imaginary (of the mind). Mother's love is selfish, limited to her own children (until they cross her.)

Diana rejected Him, and His love, and had to be satisfied with its poor human imitation.

Now that she has died separated from God's love, she has discovered that marrying Prince Charles was not the greatest mistake of her life.

It was rejecting the Only One who really loved her as she needed, and wanted, to be loved.

The One who loved her so much, He died in her place bearing all her guilt, sin, and shame on a cruel wooden Cross. The Man who poured out his sinless Blood to satisfy God's Law, in Diana's place.

Jesus, God's Only Son, did that for her. All she had to do to have the "perfect relationship" was accept Him into her heart as Lord and Saviour. She would then have joined the Perfect Man in the Perfect Family... God's family.

Diana had many opportunities. Christians spoke to her and prayed for her, but she never received Christ. She died in her sins.

Please don't make the same mistake.

The Truth

People are striving to answer all kinds of questions posed by Diana's death.

Here are the answers from God's Word.

Jesus said, "I am the Truth!"

The Holy Bible says Jesus is God's Word made Human, to show us God's Truth.

You can ignore Him, He will let you, but you will have to face Him when you die.

Who Killed Her?

The drunk driver? The hounding Press Pack... MI6... MI5? The men in Grey?

No, it was the Devil who took her life.

Jesus said, the thief (the devil) came to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you should have life, abundant life. Jn. 10:10

By rejecting Jesus' loving protection and life, she followed Satan's deceitful schemes, and so became easy prey for him.

Satan causes people to become drunks and pill-poppers. Not God!

Satan is the author of death, Jesus is the Author of life and salvation.

Why Did She Die?

Jesus said, "Unless you too repent, you will all perish!" Lk. 13:3+5

Diana refused to repent of her unbelief in Christ, refused to repent of her sinful life, so she perished.

God cannot be mocked, "A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please the sinful nature will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Spirit (of God) will reap eternal life. Gal. 6:7-8

Who are you sowing to please?

Was Her Death God's Judgment on Her?

No. Jesus came to save lives not destroy them, He said He did not come to Judge the world. But He said He is coming back to Judge the world. God's Judgment is far worse than death in a car accident, it lasts forever.

Is It Too Late for Her Now?

We can pray for her can't we? Then she can go to Heaven?

Jesus said, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, whoever does not believe will be condemned (to Hell)." Mk. 16:16

Man is destined to die once and after that the Judgment. Heb. 9:27

It is too late for Diana. She refused Jesus, in this life so she will be condemned in the next. It is unchangeable. (Purgatory is not in the Holy Bible, it is a Catholic invention designed to extract money from grieving relatives by asking them to pay for special prayers & rites to "release their loved ones from purgatory" so they can go to Heaven. Yet the Bible states clearly there's only one way to Heaven. Catholicism is a religious scam.)

But She Had Some 'Faith' (didn't she?)

Not in the Lord Jesus Christ. Her faith was in her own foolish ideas and philosophy, not in the Blood of God's Only Son.

Like her husband, she trusted in New Age Gurus, psychics, and all kinds of demonic Alternative Therapies, (hypnosis, acupuncture, New Age diets, colonic-irrigation, aromatherapy, homeopathy, etc.)

The Bible says, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Prov. 16:25

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father (God) except through me. Jn. 14:6

Diana trusted in human ideas, not in God's Eternal Word, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Her "faith" could not save her.

Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

She went to church, and was even married in Westminster Abbey by the Archbishop of Canterbury. surely, that should be enough to get her into Heaven?

Going to church never saved anybody, and it never will. Plenty of people attend church who are destined for Hell.

They attend for all kinds of wrong reasons; family tradition, religious tradition, social acceptance, peer pressure, or they are following religious doctrine, not Christ.

Entering a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than entering a cowshed makes you a cow.

We are born once in sin, we must be born again. Born of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Have you had that experience yet?

We are born sinful, children of the devil, when we accept Christ into our hearts we become children of God. Jesus made that absolutely clear. (Jn. Ch. 3)

No ceremony; marriage, funeral or religious ritual can give you this experience. Each of us has to receive Christ personally, and tell of Him to be saved. (Ro. 10:9-13)

God Will Be Lenient Because of All the Good She Did (won't He?)

No, her 'good deeds' will not save her from Hell. No-one is saved by good works:

For it is by grace you are saved, Through faith (in Jesus), and this is not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no-one can boast. Eph. 2:8-9

Grace is free to all. Jesus already paid the full price, but God has said we must believe and receive Jesus. God's Son is the Gift we must receive.

There is nothing we can do to pay for our sins. He paid it all. Accept Him, and your debt is gone, reject Him, and you must pay yourself. (In Hell)

(Note. God rewards his children for the good they do after they are saved, but everything before has no eternal value.)

The Biggest Question: Where is Diana now?

In Death and Hades awaiting final Judgment with all who die in their sins.

Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged... if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, they are thrown into the Lake of Fire (Hell) Rev. 20:13-15

Because she was never Born Again, her name is not in the Book of Life (Rev. 20:15) Diana will be judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Jesus Himself said, in Revelation 21:6-8

I am the Alpha and the Omega... the cowardly, the unbelieving, the murderers, the sexually immoral, idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death.

Jesus said, "If your eye cause you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into Hell where their worm never dies, and the fire is not quenched. Mk. 9:47-48

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord (Jesus) will be saved. Ro. 10:13

Did Princess Diana confess that Jesus was her Lord and Saviour (in truth and from her heart)?

No, that is why she was running around after false gods, and men.

Was she truly born again? No. Anyone who is, can tell.

This is how we know who the children of God are and who are the children of the devil. Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God. 1 Jn.3:10

And God tells us what is right in His Word, the Holy Bible.

Did she receive Jesus?

No never. She rejected Him, and sought false gods. Did she repent of her sin?

No, she admitted adultery, and carried on doing it. Then continued in sexually immorality after her "divorce".

A medical attendant at the crash scene quoted her as saying;

"I am six weeks pregnant." As she received emergency treatment.

Did she really believe in Jesus?

No.

So, the Bible is clear she is in Death and Hades awaiting the Lake of Fire in Hell, with all who reject Christ as Lord (Almighty God in the Flesh) and Saviour.

So What Can Diana Do Now?

Nothing, but suffer the just punishment her sins deserve, for it is too late for her.

But not yet for you. That is why you are here reading this. God is giving you the opportunity to Get right with Him now.

You can scoff, like Diana did, and say "The Bible is just a book, Jesus was just a good teacher, there is no Heaven or Hell".

But you would be wrong, and foolish to ignore the facts.

The Holy Bible is not a book. It is the Testimony of God, God's True Word.

The quotations here, are mostly from the New Testament. It is the best attested ancient document the world has ever known. Those who want to hide from the truth pretend it has been changed.

Check for yourself, it has not.

How many copies do we have of NT manuscripts? Ten... Twenty... A hundred even? No, 24,000. And they are in full agreement with all the facts of the Gospel. There are no changes.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The evidence for His historicity, Divinity and deeds is overwhelming. As is the clear evidence of his resurrection from the dead.

But by far the best proof of the truth of the Gospel, is the change it brings in those who believe it, and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

Nobody can change themselves, but when Christ comes in as Lord of your life, everything changes, from the inside out.

I pray with all of my heart that you will come afresh to these Gospel truths I have put before you, and do the one thing, the only thing you have to do to be saved today, so that you will know God's peace, love and forgiveness forever.
