Now You Know
You have heard people refer to one another as being Christians. And they may even go so far as to say, they are “good” Christian people. I have challenged that phrase and will continue to challenge it based on scripture.
Not to be ugly or difficult and certainly not to be judgemental, but to help clarify the lie that Satan would love for us to believe - which is that a little bit of effort put into salvation is enough.
Well, Beloved, it is not. Just because you pray over your food and “bless” it before you eat it, does not make you a Christian. And just because you attend church regularly or sporadically, does not save your soul and insure you a spot in Heaven or that you will have eternal life. And as with anything I share, I prove it scripturally far beyond one isolated scripture.
So here we go:
First, be clear and certain, there are NONE good. Even our best efforts of being a “good” person fall short of Holy expectations.
Matthew 19:17
17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Luke 18:19
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
So you and I cannot, in our BEST efforts, be considered good by The Lord’s standards. And that is simply because without Jesus’ shed Blood, we would have never ever be able to be with The Lord. We are sinful beings born in sin and shaped in iniquity. (Wicked acts and sinful nature)
The Bible is clear in that, our ONLY way to Life (eternal) and relationship with The Lord is through Jesus Christ. So, we must first accept Jesus Christ:
Romans 10:9
9 …that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
The verses that precede Romans 10:9 tell us that most lack the knowledge of God’s righteousness and have not submitted to the way of righteousness of God.
Romans 10:3
3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
That is the key. Mankind seeks to establish their own way of righteousness and then not only thinking but believing, as long as they pray and perhaps attend church, that they are right with God. That is so wrong and so far from the truth.
It’s a heart thing. Where is your heart - not the organ pumping in your chest, but your soul. The part where your mind and your thoughts and your intellect, devise either wicked schemes or hold the Word of God. Because, if the Word of God is not constantly in your thoughts, you WILL sin against God.
Psalm 119:11
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
God holds us accountable and responsible. And we cannot say we did not know, because He put it in His Word (the Bible) and HE has sent His Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers to tell us. Understanding that it is those (them) that HE sent. Everyone preaching, teaching, calling themselves Apostles, and Prophets are not sent, nor anointed by the Most High God. You better joyfully sit among those that are sent by Him, and listen to truth. Beware of the false anythings or anybodies contrary to the Word of God..
Because the scriptures are clear and we are all without excuse! Revelation 21:8 is clear:
Revelation 21:8
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
And you are lying to yourself if you try to humanize God and make Him human at your level to satisfy your soul into thinking your lying spirit, your homosexuality, your cowardly spirit, your sex outside of marriage (fornication) or whatever your shortcoming is – that you are comfortable in – will still allow you to go to Heaven, or as social media likes to say, you ‘gain your wings’ and ‘rest in Heaven’.
Not many make it into Heaven. Don’t take my word for it, read the scriptures:
Matthew 7:13-14
The Narrow Way
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Meanwhile, Hell continues to enlarge to receive the MANY that continue coming because of their pride and pleasure living to please themselves:
Isaiah 5:14
14 Therefore Sheol (Hell) has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
You may have thought you could work your way into Heaven. You can’t. You can hide His Word in your heart, keep His commandments, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and sin not.
So if you thought that your prayer over your meal, your church attendance, and a few good deeds were going to get you into Heaven, now you know The Truth.
Blessings to You and Yours,
