Thinking you are saved while really on your way to HELL...
The Biggest mistake you could make is thinking you are bound for heaven when you die, while in reality the wrath of God is abiding on your head. Most people are under the assumption that God will welcome them into His Kingdom at death because they have acknowledged His Name. But they are sadly mistaken.
Blow the trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.
-Joel 2:1-3
The great day of the LORD is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness. -Zephaniah 1:14-15
The worst possible situation you could be in is self-deception. You are hearing God’s Word but NEVER
putting it into practice! (Luke 8:21) Thus faith, in your mind is something vague and mysterious, not
based on the Solid foundation of ‘Keeping His Commandments!’ (John14:15) You are under the false
impression that God has forgiven your sins while you CONTINUE to enjoy them! (Rom6:1, 15)
Grace therefore gives you permission to keep on sinning, although you may not be a complete
reprobate, inwardly your conscience is defiled by the corruption of lust. Putting to death the misdeeds
of the body is something FAR from your mind. Yet this alone is the fundamental principle of the
Gospel message.
Regardless what is preached as the ‘truth’ at your local church, THIS is what the Bible has declared!
(2Tim 2:19, 1John 2:16-17) Yours is to believe it or reject it, but know that the consequences are
eternal.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the Pure of heart for they shall see God!" Matt5:8
(You can be certain that NO ONE else will. ONLY those Purified from the inward & outward
defilement of sin by His Grace will inherit the Kingdom.)
"The PURPOSE of the Commandment is love from a Pure heart, from a good conscience, from sincere
faith!" 1 Tim 1:5
Grace is NOT an excuse to keep on sinning, or a cloak for ‘inward’ defilement. The entire Purpose of
salvation by Grace is to REMOVE the inward corruption of selfishness from your heart! But unless you
put to death the deeds of body by the Spirit, you will die & go to hell. (Rom 8:13, Gal 5:24)
Listen to the Prophet: "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean. I will cleanse
you from ALL your filthiness & double-minded ways! I will give you a NEW heart and put My Spirit
within you. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put MY
Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My Statues & KEEP My Commandments!"
Ezekiel 36:25-28
This happens by GRACE through FAITH, BUT it MUST occur in reality within your heart or heaven
will NEVER be your final destination.
If you continue in a life of selfish ambition, seeking after the things of the world and taking pleasure in
your sins, your faith will be in Vain. You may indeed ‘believe’, but the ‘devils believe!’ (James 2:19)
NO ONE becomes a new creation in Christ without FIRST dying to Self.
"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone, but if it dies it produces much
grain. He who loves his life will LOSE it and he who hates his life in this world will find it for eternal
life." John 12:24-25
COUNT on it. Jesus has declared the truth of entering into life eternal. IF you continue to live
according to the flesh you will DIE & go to hell. BUT if by the Spirit of God you put to death the deeds
of the body you will live, eternally! Rom 8:13
This is the grand difference between you and the devils. YOU have a choice and the means by which to
lay aside the carnal mind that will destroy you! (Rom 8:6) By ‘Crucifying’ the flesh with it’s passions
& desires and walking in Newness of life.
But this requires effort.
The BIGGEST mistake you could make at this point is being assured by the false teachers that you are
a child of God while you remain in bondage to the inward corruption of sin. NOTHING could be
further from the truth.
Grace WILL NOT accommodate your sin or make up for your lack of Obedience
to the faith. You may cling to a false notion that your ‘faith’ is genuine, but if you CONTINUE in your
deception know that your conscience will soon be hardened by sin. (Heb 3:12-14)
It doesn’t matter what your pastor has to say. Examine the Scriptures! "Come let us REASON
together!" says the Lord. If your soul is Void of inward Purity and a Steadfast enduring faith, you will
NOT go to heaven when you die. (Rom 2:7-8 is how you inherit life eternal)
The works of the flesh are obvious, Gal 5:19-21, they include: adultery, fornication (real or imagined)
uncleanness, indecent behavior, idolatry, lack of Self-Control! Hatred, selfish ambition, envy, murder,
drunkenness and the like. READ what the passage has to say about these things: "THOSE who DO
such things WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God!"
EVIDENCE of the New Birth is FRUIT that Remains! (John 15:16) The OPPOSITE of Selfishness.
Gal 5:22-23: "Love, Joy, Peace, Endurance, Self-Control, Kindness, Meekness & Faithfulness!"
Are these evident in you? Are you DAILY denying yourself, walking in love toward your fellow man,
meek, kind, your inner passions under Control of the Spirit? THIS is the HOPE of eternal life!
(Rom 8:16)
If Newness of Life is not actively at work in your heart transforming you from glory to glory and
putting to death the inward corruption of your flesh, you are NOT a child of God. (Rom 8:9) You
Cannot blend Darkness with Light, Purity with impurity. If Christ is in you, HIS IMAGE and likeness
are Evident in your behavior. It doesn’t matter what your preacher says, ‘Carnal Christianity’ is a
MYTH! Christ is NOT a minister of sin. When you Die to Self, in HIM, you have your FRUIT to
holiness and the END thereof is EVERLASTING LIFE! Rom 6:22
Stop believing a lie and enter into the True Vine.
Thanks!
