Christians that will wind up in the Lake of Fire

How is this possible? Let me explain.

Have you ever wondered about these verses in Matthew 7:21-23 ? “ Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”

“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? “

“ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS. “

Jesus is talking to Christians. First of all they used the term “Lord, Lord” which the Bible says “ no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit” ( 1 Corinthians 12:3 )

These people did the works of God casting out demons, healing the sick and many other great things. Using the name of Jesus works and believing or having faith doing it works so what’s up with this? why did Jesus say depart from me I never knew (approved) you ?

The simple answer is they were living in sin. They went back to the sins they were committing before they were saved and never repented. They listened to doctrines of devils like being taught today in many churches and by many pastors that false teaching of hypergrace where you can do whatever you please and still go to heaven. A great example of this today is denominations teaching “Once saved always saved” This is a doctrine of devils started by Calvin. No one can keep on sinning after being born again and go to heaven, it’s a lie.

Can you imagine the millions of Christians who will be shocked on judgment day because they believed the lie?

There is a great difference between being born into the kingdom and inheriting the kingdom. 1st Corinthians 6:9 “ 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.11And that is what some of you were.” Many people have been born into the kingdom but that doesn’t mean necessarily that they will inherit the kingdom. And there’s a difference.

You enter the kingdom through salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as He is the door. After you did if you went back into your old ways God will not let you inherit the Kingdom. None of those who commit the sins mentioned will inherit the Kingdom.

Jesus said if you don’t live Holy you won’t make it. Be ye Holy for I am Holy.

Whoever would love life 

and see good days 

must keep his tongue from evil 

and his lips from deceitful speech.

11He must turn from evil and do good; 

he must seek peace and pursue it.

12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, 

and His ears are inclined to their prayer. 

But the face of the Lord is against 

those who do evil.”

Bottom line is live Holy so Jesus will not say to you depart from me you who do lawlessness, but will say “ Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.”

If you’ve sinned repent God will forgive you and go and sin no more….

Don’t let your mate keep you from God

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ( Matthew 24:37) We must love God more than anyone or anything, more than our father, our mother, our children, even our mate.

Luke chapter 12 states: Do you think that I came to provide peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (Matthew 10:37) And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

Shocking statements from Jesus giving you a heads up that putting anyone or anything above God first is folly and makes us live a selfish and sinful life. For many loving the world will be their doom. Loving money, your job, sports teams, entertainment, cars, homes, sex, and any worldly pleasure before loving Jesus and the Father is just wrong.

Do you begin your day with prayer and thanksgiving ending your day the same way? Or does the worries of the world choke out the love, joy, peace and faith and willingness to serve God in your life?

Now by all means you should love your mate and children and family with all your heart but not more than your Creator who loves you more than any human could possibly love you. The One who loves you so much that he sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

If God knows the number of hairs on your head don’t you think He knows your heart and knows your needs? Don’t you realize He has a plan for your life when He said “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.(Jeremiah 29:11) “

You should know the signs of the times and how close we are to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Make an effort to surrender totally to Jesus. Ask Him to help you where you lack faith and confidence and spend everyday living Holy without which we will not see the kingdom of God. It’s not impossible you know. When you blow it just repent from your heart and move forward.

John 10 says the word of faith is in your heart and in your mouth that if you believe that Jesus is Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead and speak it out with your mouth you will be saved for all who call on the name of the Lord He will in no way cast out. All must come to repentance and confess Jesus. He loves you and will be with you forever.

Pray sincerely and ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and fire and give you a new heart. He will do it and won’t give you something else. Then you will begin to know Him and what the Holy Spirit is saying to the body of Christ today. Study and read your Bible and don’t be ignorant of the true message of the Gospel. Forget about what’s going on in the world with rumors of war and political upheaval, just believe the word of God when He said “ I will never leave you nor forsake you even to the end of the age….

Jesus appears 10 times after His Resurrection

Here are the 10 different appearances of Jesus :

1. Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene at the sepulcher alone as recorded in John 20: 11-18 and Mark 16: 9-11.

2. Jesus appears to certain women including “the other Mary,” Salome, Joanna, and others as they returned from the sepulcher recorded in Matthew 28: 1-10

3. Jesus appears to Simon Peter alone on the day of resurrection recorded in Luke 24:34 and 1 Corinthians 15:5.

4. Jesus appears to two disciples on the way to Emmaus on the day of the resurrection recorded fully only by Luke in chapter 24: 13-35.

5. Jesus appears to the ten disciples ( Thomas was absent) and others with them at Jerusalem on the evening of the resurrection day recorded in John 20: 19-24.

6. Jesus appears to the disciples again with Thomas present in Jerusalem recorded in Mark 16: 14-18, Luke 24: 33-40 and John 20: 26-28.

7. Jesus appears to the disciples when fishing at the Sea of Galilee recorded in John 21: 1-23.

8. Jesus appears to the eleven and over 500 men and women at once at the appointed place in Galilee recorded in 1 Corinthians 15: 6.

9. Jesus appears to James under what circumstances we don’t know recorded in 1Corinthians 15:7.

10. Jesus appears to the Apostles immediately before the ascension. They accompanied Him from Jerusalem to Mount Olivet and were there as they saw Him ascend as a cloud received him out of their sight as recorded in Mark 16: 19, Luke 24: 50-52 and Acts 1: 4-10.

Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father and is alive and is coming back for us to be with Him forever and ever for all eternity on the new heaven and the new earth. This earth will be burned up and the sinners will be thrown into the lake of fire along with Satan and his fallen angels.

Jesus also preached to the dead! He made proclamation to the spirits in prison. These are the wicked dead since the beginning of time held in hades until judgment day. Recorded in 1 Peter 3:18-20.

Jesus also preached to the righteousness dead who had kept the law under the old covenant in the Old Testament recorded in 1 Peter 4:6. And after His resurrection He released them out to heaven and many many were seen walking the streets of Jerusalem as recorded in Matthew 27: 52-53.

Today is the day of salvation repent from your heart and give your life to Jesus and be saved then get baptized. Do it now while you can. Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings

Why Believers today are righteous like Abraham

Many people especially Christians, think righteousness is something gained by working hard at it, something you strive for, but it isn’t at all. Sanctification and holiness is something you strive for, but not righteousness.

True righteousness is not something derived from the law, but righteousness is imputed directly to you from God on the basis of your faith in Jesus Christ. In other words if you believe Jesus Christ is Gods Son, the Messiah, the Savior of the world and Lord, God reckons (credits) that faith you have in Jesus as righteousness. And because you are righteous then you are justified. And you are an heir of all the blessings of Abraham. That seems impossible but it is the truth. Let’s take a look…

Abraham was not Jewish at the time when he became the father of faith. He was 99 years old when he was circumcised and God made the old covenant and the nation of Israel began to form. So as God had planned it, Abraham became the father of many nations as a gentile and on the basis of faith God approved him as righteous because he believed God. He didn’t become righteous by sacrificing bulls and lambs, he became righteous by his faith. James 2:23 says “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God.

Now look at Philippians 3:9 and notice the Apostle Paul said that he didn’t have a righteousness of his own derived from the Law (the old covenant) but we have through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of FAITH! So you and me are both righteous because we have faith in Jesus. It’s not an earned thing we do, it’s by the Grace of God. Are you getting this? I hope so.

Now the Apostles taught this gospel, this word of faith and said in Romans 10:9,10; “

That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

for with the heart a person believes, resulting in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in SALVATION.

I am righteous and you are righteous if you believe from your heart in Christ. Isn’t that great news? In the new covenant as in the old God reckons our faith, our belief in Jesus as righteousness. The new covenant is the blood of Jesus, which He shed for all mankind. It was paid once and for all.

“ and having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation , being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. (Heb. 5:9) THEREFORE He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”(Heb. 7:25) Repent and confess Jesus as Lord if you haven’t already done so and you too will be righteous.

“Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)

“ And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.” (Heb. 9:27-28)

Now your job is to live a sanctified and holy life free of sexual immorality, to love God and your neighbor as yourself.

“Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” (Romans 4:20-25) Do you now understand how we are saved by grace through our Faith in Jesus? And that faith comes from God and is not of ourselves but freely given to those who believe…Stop trying to earn salvation by doing things from yourself to please God. Have faith and Love Him and your neighbor and abstain from sexual immorality and get baptized as Jesus commanded….
