āExamine yourselves, to see IF you are in the faith.ā 2 Corinthians 13:5
OK friends, Iāve got to have a HARD š¬ conversation with you today, ugh! But honestly, thereās a reason for it!
Recently, I had a conversation with someone who attended a PRIDE PARADE and I challenged her as to HOW she squares her support for immoral lifestyles with her IDENTIFICATION as a Christian ā¦. and the response was SHOCKING š®
She said, āAll I need to do is BELIEVE in Jesus, correct?ā
Now I would like to preface this by saying that if you are truly a Christian, you WILL be in heaven one day with Jesus when you die ā¦ no exceptions! And thatās good news for EVERYONE who realizes they need Godās grace!
On the other hand, itās become incredibly PREVELANT in Western, formerly Christian, cultures to CLAIM Christ while continuing to walk in a way that denies him. How can this be??
Friends, I need to say this.
If you claim Christ and yet celebrate the fruits of ANY sinful lifestyle, you may not actually know him š³
Now before you get upset at me, please consider the truthfulness and the SERIOUSNESS of what Iām saying. Godās gracefulness, doesnāt nullify his justice and he WILL punish the sin of those who deny him ETERNALLY in a literal hell.
I encourage you to consider this to SO THAT you can have the FULLNESS of assurance in your walk with Christ, both for your sake and for the sake of others!
Application:
Do you believe in Godās judgment when you die and in heaven or hell?
How do you know you are going to heaven and what does the Bible tell you about it? What does John 3:16 say about it?
Has God ever called you to make any CHANGES in your lifestyle so that you can appreciate the assurance of your salvation more?
