Be Not Deceived

I've had a few at times tell me "just talk about the love of God. Quit talking about all this other stuff." 

Yes, God is love and He loves you too much to leave you in the filth of sin clothed with the beggarly elements of this world.  Sin cannot enter Heaven's gates. 

It is out of His great love and not willing that any should perish that He lays it on the hearts of some to cry out for the need to repent, get sin out of our lives, and obey Jesus' instructions to be born again.  Time is running out. 

Too many are deceived into believing they can live any way they want, do whatever they want, talk however they want and still go to heaven. But the Bible warns in in Galatians 5:19-21.....

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:

Adultery, 

fornication, 

uncleanness = physical or moral impurity

lasciviousness = intense or unbridled desire

20 Idolatry = anything put before God

witchcraft = fortune telling, horoscopes, anything to do with witches, scorcery, demonic activity,  etc

hatred, 

variance = strife, quarreling 

emulations = jealousy,  malice

wrath = fierce anger

strife, 

seditions = divisions

heresies,

21 Envyings, 

murders, 

drunkenness, 

revellings = rioting 

and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God.

And we're warned again in 1 Corinthians6:9-10....

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God? 

BE NOT DECEIVED: 

neither fornicators, 

nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, 

nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, 

nor covetous, 

nor drunkards, 

nor revilers, 

nor extortioners, 

shall inherit the kingdom of God.


The good news is: such WERE some of you.  

You don’t have continue living in sin. 

There is hope, joy, and peace when we have been WASHED, and SANCTIFIED, and JUSTIFIED in the NAME of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor 6:11)

Yes, God loves you very much. But He loves you too much to leave you as you are. When you're born again, you will become a new creature. You will not be the same and you will not stay the same. Be not deceived. Come, let Jesus transform your life.
