Only Talk About The Love of God?

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 Galatians 5:19-21.....

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

Adultery = relations with someone other than spouse

fornication = relations without being married

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 = hostile feelings toward another

variance = strife, quarreling 

emulations = jealousy,  malice

wrath = fierce anger

strife = contentions, bickering, bitter disagreement 

seditions = divisions

heresies = false doctrines

21 Envyings = jealousy, ill-will toward another 

murders = kill another person 

drunkenness = intoxication

revellings = rioting 

and such like = anything that is similar and a sin

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 = relations without being married

nor idolaters = anything put before God

nor adulterers = relations with someone other than spouse

nor effeminate = a man expressing feminine qualities 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind = that word means they DEFILE themselves with mankind 

(Cross ref: Rom 1:20-28, 2 Pet 2:6-22, Lev 18:22, 20:13, Gen 19:4-11, Rev 21:27)

10 Nor thieves = steals, takes what is not theirs

nor covetous = eager for gain, desiring more)

nor drunkards = intoxicated

nor revilers = someone who speaks abusively or contemptuously to others

nor extortioners = uses threats or intimidation to obtain something from another)

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.  

God is going to present to Himself the Church 

that does not have SPOT (stain or blemish)

Or WRINKLE (folds, creases, unkept)

Or ANY SUCH THING

but that it should be 

HOLY (physically pure, morally blameless)

And WITHOUT BLEMISH (without blame or fault or sin)

If we want to be in the Bride of Christ we must get sin out of our lives....that's what true REPENTANCE is.

And we must be BAPTIZED in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins

And be filled with and full of the Holy Ghost 

(Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16-17, John 3:1-7)

Come let Jesus transform your life.
