man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.”
The fear of man causes people to sin and end up in hell.
Jesus said:“I say to you, My friends,
do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no
more that they can do. 5“But I will warn you whom to fear:
fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into
hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” Luke 12:4,5.
People often tell “white” lies, big
lies and even swear falsely to protect themselves of to gain
benefits. God knows everything. Nothing is hidden from Him. Liars
will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
We read in Revelation 22:15 “Outside
are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the
murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
lying.”
Do not let the fear of man cause you to
lie. Repent of all lying and speak the truth always. Liars will not
enter the kingdom of God.
“Man is appointed to die once,and after that to face judgment.”
Hebrews 9:27. We will all die and we will all face judgment. Nobody
will escape. We will be judged by our DEEDS. Nobody knows when their
last day will be. It is therefor wise to always be prepared and to
live every day as though it is our last day.
Jesus Christ Himself is the final judge
of all men. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be
recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad.” We also read the words of the apostle Paul in
Romans 2:6-11 “God...WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek
for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those
who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will
be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil,
of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor
and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God.”
We read in Revelation 20:11-15 “Then
I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for
them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was
opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged
from the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were
judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
Many people will die today but very few
are prepared to die and face judgment. Many choose not to believe the
truth and prepare. Others are complacent and believe that they still
have much time left. Many are deceived by false doctrines. They are
just religious. They believe in Jesus for salvation but they do not
know nor obey Him. They believe that they are saved by grace, they
keep on sinning and live worldly lives but they will end up in hell
if they do not repent and obey Jesus. Jesus warned that He will send
many believers to hell. He said:”15“Beware of the false prophets,
who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous
wolves.16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not
gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are
they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor
can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So
then, you will know them by their fruits.
21“Not everyone who says to
Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many
will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform
many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I
never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.’” Matthew 7:15-23.
All sinners and sinning believers will end up in hell. Being
religious and just believing in Jesus will not save you. We have to
live holy and righteously. In obedience to Jesus.
The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. His words are recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said:“Therefore everyone who hears these words
of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it
did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone
who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against
that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.
Are you ready to die? Are you ready to face judgment? Obey Jesus,
repent and be baptized, be holy and live in obedience to the words
and commandments of Jesus, and He will reveal himself to you. You
will know Him and He will know you. You will have the hope of eternal
life. Do not delay. Get right with Jesus and stay right with Him,
until the end. We don't know when our time will come. Always be
ready.
excuses for sin and sinfulness. They are disqualifying themselves for
the kingdom of God. Sinners will not have eternal life. Without
holiness no one will see God.
Professional athletes subject
themselves to strict diets and rigorous training programs to be
competitive. They do not allow themselves to indulge in anything,
however tempting it might be, that can affect their performance.
They take utmost care to compete in such a way that they will win the
race. They abide by the rules and they mind their steps that they
might not stumble or hurt themselves, because that will disqualify
them. They do not look for, neither do they make excuses because
they know that they will only have themselves to blame if they do not
win the race and get the prize.
Sinners are losers. Sin separates you
from God. Sin disqualifies you for the kingdom of God, even one lie,
a “white “ lie, will soil your garment, and prevent you from
entering heaven. There is no excuse for sin.
Repent, stop sinning, be baptized in
water for the forgiveness of your sin. Be holy. Sin no more. Follow
Jesus until the end and He will give you eternal life. Obey His
teachings and commandments as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Ask Him for His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you and be
with you to guide you into all truth.
Do not look for
excuses. Do not sin. You will only have yourself to blame if you miss
heaven and spend eternity in hell.
desires. There is a difference between desires and needs. We need
certain things to live, like food and shelter. There are also things
that we desire and lust after. Those things lead to sin if we allow
our desires and lusts to drive us. We are all tempted in various
ways, every day, but unless we resist temptation we will fall into
sin and end up in hell.
We read in James 1:13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14But each
one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
15Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin
is accomplished, it brings forth death.
The wages of sin is death. “The soul
that sins will die,” he will perish, in hell. That is why we need
to repent of sin, stop sinning and SIN NO MORE. Jesus grants
forgiveness and pardon of past sins if we accept Him, repent and be
baptized for the forgiveness of sin and then SIN NO MORE, but if we
keep on sinning we will end up in hell. We read in Hebrews 10:26 “For
if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the
truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a
terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE
WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.” We have to, at all cost, avoid
temptation because it leads to sin, and sin leads to death, eternal
damnation.
How shall we avoid temptation? Should
we lock ourselves away or go live in seclusion in a monastery?
Certainly not. Let us learn from those who followed Jesus before us.
The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, a
young man and follower of Jesus in 2 Timothy 2: 22 “Now FLEE
FROM YOUTHFUL LUSTS and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace,
with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:15
“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that
is in the world, the LUST OF THE FLESH and the LUST OF THE EYES and
the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the
world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but
the one who does the will of God lives forever.“
How will we do the will of God so that
we will live for ever? We need to be led by the Holy Spirit, as Paul
wrote in Romans 8:13,14 “ 12So then, brethren, we are under
obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13for
if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the
Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will
live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these
are sons of God.“
This begs for another question: How do
we receive the Holy Spirit? Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to all
those who believe in Him and therefor obey Him, repent and are
baptized in water. He will baptize them in the Holy Spirit and give
of His Spirit to dwell in them, to teach and guide them into holiness
and fruitfulness, into doing His will. Those who have received the
Holy Spirit must follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Paul further writes in Galatians 5:16.
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the
desire of the flesh. 17For the flesh sets its desire against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition
to one another, so that you may not do the things that you
please. 19Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which
are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery,
enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes,
dissensions, factions, 21envying, drunkenness, carousing, and
things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned
you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom
of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law. 24Now those
who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by
the Spirit.”
What does it mean to crucify the flesh?
Crucifixion means to nail it to a cross and thereby utterly destroy
it, kill it. We have to kill our fleshly desires, ignore them, regard
them as dead. We have to crucify our flesh, and follow the guidance
of the Holy Spirit, then we will not run after the desires of our
flesh which will cause us to sin and end up in hell.
We do not only need to stop sinning and
be holy, we need to bear fruit for the kingdom of God. We need to
testify of Jesus, bring others to Him, so that they can also obey Him
and have eternal life. If we do not bear fruit, we will get cut off
and burned as Jesus explained. We read in John 15:1,2 “I am the
true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. 2He CUTS
OFF EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARS NO FRUIT.
We need to actively follow the guidance
of the Holy Spirit to be pleasing to Jesus and have eternal life.
Have you been born again? Have you
accepted Jesus, repented, been baptized in water for the forgiveness
of your sins? Have you been baptized in the Holy Spirit and do you
follow His guidance every day? If you keep on following after your
fleshly desires, you will sin and end up in hell.
The world hates truth. Even most professing Christians hate the truth. Paul wrote to the Galatian
believers in Galatians 4:16 ”So have I become your enemy by telling
you the truth?” People love lies. They just want to hear good
things about themselves and their children even if it is all lies.
Parents lie to their children, not to hurt their feelings. Preachers
lie to their congregation, to make them feel good. They tell them
that God loves them endlessly and He will not cast them into hell,
even if they keep on sinning. They tell them that they can have
salvation and go into heaven by just believing in Jesus, they tell
them that they don't need to stop sinning, they must just believe.
They tell them that homosexuals and fornicators will go into heaven.
People love lies and lying preachers and the lying false media, that
is why they perish. That is why most Christians will also end up in
hell, because they love lies.
In the sight of God there are no white
lies. All liars will end up in hell. Liars will not enter the kingdom
of heaven. We read in Revelation 22:15 “Outside are the dogs and
the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the
idolaters, AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND PRACTICES LYING.”
Stop lying. Stop listening to liars.
Stop believing lies. Seek and speak truth. Live the truth. Do not
pretend that you are what you are not. You are lying to yourself and
to others. Do not be an actor. Do not run after actors and
celebrities, they are all liars. Repent, stop lying or you will
certainly end up in hell.
Speak the truth. Live the truth. Obey
Jesus. Obey His words, repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of
your sin, Lie no more, sin no more. Ask Jesus to give the Holy Spirit
in you, the Spirit of Truth. Follow and obey Him He will guide you
into all truth.
God will repay each one according to his deeds. To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism. Romans 2:6-11.
"For the wages of sin is death."Romans 6:23
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. 8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."Galatians 6:7,8.
Dear friends, after spending our life on this earth, what wages do we expect when we stand before the judgment throne of Jesus Christ? What did we sow? We will reap what we have sown, either eternal life or eternal torment in damnation.
There is a false teaching being preached and believed by many, that because of Jesus dying on the cross, all those who profess to believe in Him will be saved. That is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a lie.
Jesus Christ is the only way. The only way to have eternal life is to obey Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus, means to believe who He is and therefor to obey Him, His commands, His teachings as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Faith without action is dead. If we do not obey Jesus our faith is worthless.
No sinners will go into heaven. Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. He takes away the guilt of the sin, of those who accept and obey Him, repent, stop sinning and are baptized in water. They are cleansed of their sin, but then they have to SIN NO MORE. If they return to sin, they will perish. The wages of sin is death.
Those who believe in Jesus must live according to His teachings. They have to do good, bear good fruit. If they do not bear good fruit, they will get cut off and burned, they will end up in hell. We can only bear good fruit if we obey Jesus and stay with Him. If we love Him, we will obey Him and He will come and dwell in us, with us. He will give His Holy Spirit in us to guide and teach us, but we must obey Him, stay with Him, until the end.
Those who sin and those who do not bear good fruit will not enter heaven. What you do will determine whether you go into heaven or into hell. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:6 "God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God."
Obey the truth. Obey Jesus Christ and DO as He commanded, and you will live.
Many believers have been sold on the false rapture gospel. They believe that before the great tribulation comes on the earth, Jesus will take them to heaven so that they can escape tribulation and have a good time in heaven. Further these people believe that they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation and for this privilege of the rapture.
They are deceived.
Jesus never promised to snatch us away before trouble comes. He said He will be with us in trouble. He said that those who endure and stay with Him until the end, through tribulation, they will be saved.
These believers are cowards. They are losers. Most of them can not stop sinning. They don't want to. They want to live their lives for their own pleasure, escape tribulation and enter heaven because they believe in Jesus. That is a false belief, a false gospel.
Jesus does not call us to defeat and escapism. He calls us to action and to victory. He sets us free from the bondage of sin and He calls us to follow Him, to conquer our own flesh, to conquer sin, to conquer satan. He calls us to stand for righteousness and be His witnesses, to work for His kingdom and bring many souls to repentance and obedience to Him, so that they can overcome and be saved from hell.
Heaven is a place for overcomers, not for losers. We read repeatedly in Revelation about the rewards of those who overcove: "To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’Rev. 2:7
"He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death."Rev.2:11
" To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it."Rev.2:17
"He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; 27AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28and I will give him the morning star."Rev2:26-28.
‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."Rev.3:5
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name." Rev.3:12.
21‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”Reve.3:21.
Those who do not follow and endure with Jesus until the end, will not enter His kingdom. Cowards, losers, sinners and escapists will not enter heaven.
The only way to overcome is to follow Jesus closely and stay with Him until the end. Are we following Jesus, conquering and overcoming? Will we endure with Him until the end?
No sinners will enter into heaven. Jesus Christ said you must be born again to enter heaven. You must be born again of water and the Spirit of God to be a child of God.
If you are born again, you will be like Jesus. You will not sin, you will obey His teachings and do the will of God. You will be a new person in your old body.
Just the same as Jesus died for sin to save those who believe in Him and obey Him, you will also have to die to sin and live for righteousness and holiness.
In order to be born again you have to give up your right to do you own will, you have to die to self and submit to Jesus, to follow and obey Him so that you can live for Jesus, for the rest of your life. As a token of your commitment to die to self, you need to be baptized in water, to bury the old man of sin, under the water, so that a new man is born out of the water. You have to be born of water.
If you obey Jesus, submit to Him, repent and be baptized in water He promised to baptize you in the Holy Spirit, so that you will be filled with the Spirit, born of the Spirit of God to become a child of God
You need to be born of water and of the Spirit to be born again. The water baptism is done by men, the Holy Spirit baptism is done by God so that you will be a new creation in your old physical body.
It is our obligation to live in obedience to the Holy Spirit that Jesus gives in us, to obey and follow Him, as obedient children of God that are suitable for the kingdom of heaven.
Disobedient, sinning believers will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven. They will go into hell together with all other sinners, the children of disobedience.
Have you died to sin, buried the old man, the person you used to be, in water through baptism? Have you come out of the water a new man, received the Holy Spirit? Are you a born again child of God who follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit, doing the will of God?
There is a separation taking place between those who are evil at heart and those who seek the truth.
The apostle John foretold this in Revelation 22: 11“Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”
12“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying."
The Christian churches have been infiltrated by satan. Most churches have become worldly institutions that preach fables. We read about them in Jude 1:4 "For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed — ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master
and Lord, Jesus Christ."
If we want to enter the kingdom of heaven we have to separate ourselves from false Christians, purify ourselves of all evil and follow Jesus in holiness.
Those who follow Jesus are a small flock. They hear His voice and they do what is pleasing to Him. They do not fit in with main stream Christianity.
The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. We read in 2 Corinthians 6:14"Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
16Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,
“I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM;
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
17“Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord.
“AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN;
And I will welcome you.
18“And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty."
Sadly many of those who call themselves believers are not followers of Jesus. They call themselves Christians but they are false. They are not children of God.
Separate yourself from them and follow Jesus. Come out from among them and Jesus will accept you. Purify yourself, stop sinning, obey Jesus, be baptized in water, be filled with the Holy Spirit, follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you will be pleasing to Jesus.
Every body will be judged for their deeds that they did while on earth. The apostle Paul wrote: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his DEEDS in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10. These words were addressed to believers.
Many Christian believers have been misled to believe that they will not be judged if they profess to believe in Jesus. Nothing can be further from the truth. God has ONE standard of righteousness by which all men will be judged, regardless of race, culture, beliefs or any other differences.
We read in Romans 2:6-16 " God, ... WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD. 12For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus."
Nobody will have any excuse. There will be nobody to reperesent you on Judgment Day. The facts are already written up and you will have no defense either. Judgment awaits, the moment that you die, your fate is set.
We read in Revelation 20:11-16: "And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Many who died are already in hell. Many of them Christian believers who thought they were saved, because they confessed to believe in Jesus, but they never obeyed, nor followed Jesus. Their DEEDS WERE EVIL. Jesus warned: 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21-23.
Jesus commands that those who believe in Him must, REPENT, STOP SINNING, be BAPTIZED in water, SIN NO MORE, but follow Him and LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY. Those who practice sin, whose deeds are evil, will end up in hell and in the lake of fire, where they will be eternally tormented in damnation.
God judges by His Standard, not by human standards or opinions. Find out from Him whether He is pleased with your deeds, and repent, mend your ways. It will serve no purpose to say:"I did not know," or "According to my opinion". The Holy Spirit convicts the whole world, of sin, righteousness and judgment. Nobody will have any excuse on judgment day.
Is your name written in the Book of Life? How are your DEEDS? Are you ready to stand before the judgment throne of Christ?
Today, is the day of salvation. Jesus will save you from hell if you turn to Him today. Humble yourself before Jesus, on your knees, pray, plead His forgiveness for your past sins, repent, be baptized in water, SIN NO MORE, live holy and righteously. Live according to the teachings and commands of Jesus, as they are also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Always pray, seek Jesus and He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you into all truth. If you once followed Jesus, but you backslid, repent, run back to Jesus, mend your ways and SIN NO MORE.
We will all be judged by Jesus. Are your prepared? Are your DEEDS pleasing to Jesus. Is your name in the Book of Life? Get right with Jesus today, and stay right with Him, until the end.
May Jesus bless you.
Jesus Christ is alive and hell is real. I am here to introduce you to Jesus Christ so that you can know Him, follow Him and have eternal life. Subscribe to my channel to learn more about Jesus.
Most professing Christians believe they are saved and will go to heaven when they die but they do not know nor follow the Way of Salvation.
Believers have been deceived, they believe lies and false teachings. Church membership, Bible study, various teachings, religious practices and blind faith cannot save you.
There is only one Person who can save you, and that is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus is ALIVE and He reveals Himself to those who seek Him. He gives eternal life, salvation, to those who obey and follow Him.
The words of Jesus are also recorded in the Bible, in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words that lead to Eternal Life, for those who obey them.
You can study the Bible as much as you wish, but if you disobey Jesus you will perish, you will end up in hell. Jesus said:"63The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life."John 6:63.
We read in John 12:47, Jesus said:“If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. 49“For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50“I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
Many confess to believe in Jesus but they do not obey His commands. They will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven if they do not repent and obey the words of Jesus.
Jesus said:“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved will be condemned."Mark 16:15,16.
Have you believed the gospel of Jesus Christ? Did you obey Him? Did you repent and were you baptized in water after believing?
Jesus commanded many other things that Christians do not obey. Jesus said:"Go sin no more." Have you repented and stopped sinning? Jesus said:"Be holy, as your Father in heaven is holy?" Are you holy? Do you live in holiness and obedience to Jesus every day, or are you at risk of hell fire?
Jesus said that those who endure with Him until the end will be saved. Are you following Jesus, staying with Him every day, or have you left Him and are you living in sin and going after your own desires?
Have you read the words of Jesus as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and are you obeying Him, or is your salvation at risk?
It is written in John 3:35 “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. 36“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Obey Jesus and you will live. Those who disobey Jesus will not see life.
May Jesus bless you.

We may die any moment. Tomorrow is not promised. The moment we die our eternal destiny is sealed. If we are not right with Jesus we will go straight to hell.
Many believers are living in sin and they hope to have a chance on a death bed repentance. They are foolish. Many people get up in the morning, not knowing it is their last day. They die unprepared.
If we do not live for Jesus and His kingdom, we will have no place in heaven. Jesus will say to many believers, who believed that they were saved:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of unrighteousness." What will He say to you?
Today is the day of salvation. Now is the time to repent and be right with Jesus and stay right with Him until the end.
Are you ready to meet Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Many Christian believers are foolish, arrogant and complacent. They believe that they have salvation and they can sit back and rest in the assurance that they will go to heaven when Jesus comes or when they die. They are foolish because Jesus warned us to be vigilant and always be prepared for His coming.
We read in Matthew 25:1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2“Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3“For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5“Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6“But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7“Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8“The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9“But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10“And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 11“Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ 12“But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13“Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour."
Many believers have repented and been baptized, are living holy lives but they are fast asleep. They are not following Jesus, not working for His kingdom.
We read in Matthew 24:42 Jesus warned: “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44“For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
45“Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46“Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 47“Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48“But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long time,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards; 50the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, 51and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In Mattew 26:41 Jesus warned:"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Watch and Pray. Do not become complacent. Stay focused on Jesus. Seek Him, follow Him, obey Him. Work for His kingdom or you will not enter when He comes.
May Jesus bless you.

The wages of sin is death. Those who keep on sinning will end up in hell. Jesus warned that if you even look at a woman with lust, you will end up in hell. We read the words of Jesus in Matthew 5: 27“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’; 28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29“If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30“If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.
Jesus said:"Sin no more." Those who do not repent, stop sinning and obey Jesus, will end up in hell.
We read in 1 John 1:5"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us."
Many say that they love Jesus and that they believe in Him but they keep on sinning. They are only deciving themselves. They will end up in hell if they do not stop sinning and live holy.
We read in Hebrews 10:26 "For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 28Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” 31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Those who keep on sinning will end up in hell. Without holiness no man will see God. No sinners will enter heaven.
May Jesus bless you

Yesterday I went to hospital for an MRI and I wore a T-shirt on which is written:"DON'T GO TO CHURCH, GO TO JESUS." The receptionist asked me where I bought the T-shirt with the words on it. I told her that I put the words on myself. She asked me if I would make her one, she would like to buy it off me. I promised to send her one for free.
The nurse that took me in for the MRI asked about my accent, where I am from and I had the opportunity to share my testiony with her. I told her how I died 20 years ago of a heart attack, and although I was a Christian, I found myself on my way to hell. Jesus gave me a second chance to come back, live for Him, and tell the world that Jesus is alive, and hell is real.
She was shocked and said to me that she is also a believer but she was convicted that she is not living as Jesus requires of her. She said that she knows to do right but does not always obey the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I testified to her that we must not just believe in Jesus, we must know Him, obey Him, listen to His voice and make every effort to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
On the rear bumper of my car I have a decal with these words: "JESUS IS ALIVE! HELL IS REAL! TESTIMONY OF A MAN WHO DIED AND WENT TO HELL" www.FINALCALLO7.COM.
As we were driving on the road a car honked and pulled up next to me. The passenger in the car waved at me and showed me that He was watching one of my videos on his cell phone.
What a privilege it is to be a witness for Jesus. If we are ashamed of Him, He will also deny us. He will not allow us into heaven.
Jesus said that if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.
preached in churches has led to a situation where Christians believe
that it is acceptable to sin. Many of them say that they are all
sinners. They think that it is acceptable to keep on stumbling, to
keep on going back to the same sin. Jesus made it very clear that it
is not acceptable for any of His followers to stumble.
We read in Matthew 5:27 Jesus said:"You
have heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery, but I say
to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has
already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye
makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is
better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your
whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you
stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you, for it is better for you
to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go
into hell." If you keep on stumbling, you will end up in hell.
Jesus does not call us to stumble He
calls us to repent and stop sinning, and live in holiness or else we
will end up in hell. The writer of Hebrews writes in Hebrews 10:26
"For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge
of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a
terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which
will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of
Moses, dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much severer punishment do you think He will deserve who has
trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the
blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted
the Spirit of Grace. For we know Him who said:"Vengeance is
mine, I will repay," and again, the Lord will judge His people.
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God."
He is talking here about believers. It is not acceptable to go back
to sin. If you go back to son there is no more grace. It is not
acceptable to go back to sin. The wrath of God will come on you and
if you do not repent, you will perish.
Many believe that God will only punish
them, but they will still be saved. That is a lie. If you bear bad
fruit you will get cut off and burned. If you bear no fruit for the
kingdom of God you will get cut off and burned. If you sin, you will
burn. The Apostle John wrote in 1st John chapter 5 verse 18:"We
know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning." If a
person keeps on sinning he is not a child of God. He was not born
again or if he was born again, like the hog he has gone back to roll
in the mire, like the dog he has gone back to his own vomit.
We read in 1st John chapter 3 verse 4
"Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin
is lawlessness. You know that He (Jesus), appeared in order to take
away sins and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins.
No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, make sure
that no one deceives you. The one who practices righteousness is
righteous just as He is righteous. The one who practices sin is of
the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of
God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No
one who is born of God practices sin, because his seed abides in him
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of
God and the children of the devil are obvious, anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love
his brother”
There are so many Christian believers
that study the Bible and that quote you Bible verses about the grace
of God, but they don't know Jesus. They are not born again, they do
not abide in Jesus. As the Apostle said:"no one who abides in
Him sins. No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him." If you sin
you are of the devil, you're not a child of God, you're only
deceiving yourself. It is not acceptable even to stumble. Do not
tolerate any sin in your life if you are serious about following
Jesus. We have to be holy and sin no more. Without holiness no man
shall see God. Believers that keep on stumbling are on their way to
hell. They must repent and stop stumbling, and they must start
following Jesus every step of the way, and then they will sin no
more, and they will not stumble, because He will guide them He will
keep them. Stop stumbling and follow Jesus.
The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die, will perish in eternal damnation. Jesus Christ
came to take away the sins of the world. He pardons and forgives, He
takes away the guilt of the sin of those who repent of their own evil
ways and who submit to Him, who follow Him and who will live for His
kingdom, but if they go back to sin, then the wrath of God abides on
them.
The wrath of God is on all sinners,
whether they are believers or unbelievers. The soul that sins will
die. Many believe that because they are Christians, because they
confess Jesus Christ, that their sins are forgiven, and that God
turns a blind eye to their sin. That is not true, that is a lie. Sin
separates us from God. The unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of
heaven. Sinners have no place in the kingdom of heaven. Without
holiness no man shall see God. Jesus calls us unto Himself, for a
life of holiness and righteousness and obedience to Him, but if we go
back to our bondage, and go back to sin, if we love the pleasures of
sin, then we have no place in the kingdom of God. Jesus never
changed. God never changed. If you sin you will burn. You have to
repent and turn away from sin, live holy, righteously, in obedience
to Jesus, be led by the Holy Spirit and do what He guides you into
doing, but if you sin you will perish. If you are unfruitful you will
perish.
A tree is known by its fruit. A good
tree cannot bear bad fruit. If you are a child of God you will bear
good fruit, and you will not sin. The Lord chastises His children
that sin, but if they do not repent and mend their ways, they will
end up in damnation with the children of disobedience. There's only
one way to enter the kingdom of heaven, and that is to be pure and
holy, living in obedience to Jesus Christ. If you sin you will burn.
Yesterday I saw the surgeon that operated on me when I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and he told me something that I did not want to hear. He said:”You have a long road ahead of you.” I was hoping for better news since I had undergone chemo and radiation that was completed a month ago. He told me that the damage in my rectum was the most severe that he has seen in all his years of practice. He scheduled me for an MRI, to better determine the extent of the damage and is planning extensive surgery four weeks from now. We were hoping for a ileostomy reversal but indications are that it is not possible.
It has been a difficult painful experience since I became ill more than a year ago and the medical prognosis of my situation is not favorable. However, our hope is in Jesus, I belong to Him and He determines my life. I died twice in December 2017, while I was in the intensive care unit of the hospital for a month, after I had complications. Very few people believed that I would survive, but I did, all because of Jesus, He brought me back and kept me alive.
We are all one breath away from eternity. We might die today and then eternity awaits us. We must always be ready. We do not know how long the road ahead of us is. What is important is that we follow Jesus all the way, until the end or else we will spend eternity away from Jesus in damnation. We have to bear fruit for the kingdom of God and bring glory to Jesus, or else we will get cut off and burned. Jesus warned that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned, unfruitful believers will end up in damnation.
Many Christians wrongly believe that if they believe in Jesus they have a ticket to heaven. They think they can sit back and celebrate their salvation. Nothing can be further from the truth. ++
+
+We have to follow Jesus, live in obedience to Him and endure with Him until the end, through all circumstances. To follow Jesus is not easy. The road that Jesus guides us onto is not for the faint hearted and unbelieving. We will face many trials and tribulations and only those who stay with Jesus until the end, will win the prize of eternal life. Without Jesus, we can do nothing. Jesus warned, He said:”Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 17:13,14.
It is when we go trough trials, tribulation, pain and suffering, that we learn to trust in Jesus. It is in those times that our faith is tested, and if we endure we learn to overcome. It is in those times and through those circumstances that our character is built and we are transformed into the likeness of Jesus. We read in Hebrews 10:36 ”For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,
HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”
We do not know how long the road ahead is, but we need to endure with Jesus until the end, to win the prize of eternal life.
Nothing is as important as knowing Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the
life. There is no other way to have eternal life but to follow and
obey Jesus Christ, and we have to know Him in order to follow Him. He
has to know us in order for us to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
warned that He will say to many people on the day that they die:"Go
away, I never knew you."
Nothing is more important for us than
to know Jesus Christ and to know Him intimately, and for Him to know
us. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 3 verse 7-11:"
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as a
loss for the sake of Christ. More than that. I count all things to be
loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law but that which
is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on
the basis of faith. That I may know Him and the power of His
resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to
His death, in order that I might attain to the resurrection from the
death." That is the desire of Paul, as he expressed it
in his letter to the Philippians, to
know Jesus Christ. If we know Jesus Christ, then we obey Him. He
justifies those who obey His words, who live in close communion and
close obedience to Him. His sheep hear His voice, they listen to Him
and they follow Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey Him.
He comes and dwells in them and He guides them step-by-step, because
they know Him. They follow Him because they love Him and they remain
in Him, they stay in obedience to Jesus, so that they can bear fruit
for His kingdom.
There is nothing as important as
knowing Jesus Christ. We might know about Jesus from the testimony of
other people, we can study the Bible. We can read the words of Jesus
in the gospels and we can know about Him, but we only get to know Him
if we obey Him, if we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words, if
we obey what He commanded; repent and be baptized. Turn away from
sin, turn to Jesus. Seek Him with all our heart, then he will come
and dwell in us, and He will guide us. He will teach us. He will
always be with us, but we have to stay with Him. We have to know Him
for real.
Knowing the Bible, obeying the law, the
law of Moses (Torah), that will not save us, it is the righteousness
that comes from obeying Jesus Christ and walking with Him daily. Paul
was a righteous man according to the Law. He was a Pharisee,
blameless according to the Law of Moses but He realized that that
could not save him. He realized that he had to live in total
commitment and obedience to Jesus Christ, and therefore he called
himself a bond servant of Christ. He voluntarily served Jesus Christ.
He gave up everything, even his life, to follow Jesus Christ. We
might know the Bible. We might know the words of Jesus, we might know
spiritual people or children of God, but if we do not know Jesus, and
if we do not follow Him, then we are heading for destruction.
Nothing is more important for us, than
to know Jesus Christ and to be known by Him. If we seek Him with all
our heart, we will find Him. He will reveal Himself to us. If we seek
His guidance, He will guide us, because He cares for us, but if we
keep on shunning Him, pushing Him away, ignoring Him, then we will
not enter His kingdom. We have to walk with Jesus day by day. Our
relationship with Him must be real. Nothing can be more important
than knowing Jesus, following Him, being with Him, listening to Him
and and going with Him every step of the way until the very end.
Nobody else can do it for us. We have to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling, because if we are away from Jesus, we have a
reason to fear.
Just believing in Jesus will not save
us. We have to know Him and obey Him, be pleasing to Him, and He has
to approve of us. Do we truly know Jesus? Do we follow Him and obey
Him every day. There is no other way to have eternal life. We have no
hope if we do not have Jesus. We have to follow Jesus and stay with
Him until the very end.
Do you know Jesus and does He know you?
Will He invite you into His kingdom or will He show you away on the
day that you die? Seek Jesus today and every day until the very end.
Stay with Him, or else you have no hope for eternity, only a certain
expectation of damnation. Seek Jesus and follow Him until the very
end.
