Discussion

Many still cling to false teachings. They think they are on the right track to heaven, but in most cases, they aren’t even saved. They profess to following God through His Son Jesus Christ. However, they think all they need to do is say the words and all is fine. They will leave this earthly body and they will awaken in the presence of God. They think faith is all you need and once you are saved you are always saved and nothing else is required by them personally.

This in most cases though is a lie. Yes, you heard that correctly a lie.

“Prove it!” someone just shouts at this statement.

Look about you the reader or listener. If you are living in a fancy house or houses. Have fancy clothes, fancy vehicles. Unused rooms in your large house full of possessions that do nothing but gather dust. Then you are guilty as charged. Not by me, but by the Holy Spirit and verified by the Word of God.

Item 1:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Item 2:

1 John 2:15-16 NKJV – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

Item 3:

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Item 4:

Luke 4:6 NKJV – And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Item 5:

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Item 6:

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

These are the items in the case against those that profess to being servants of God yet all they truly worship is themselves. What this makes them is people who pretend to being followers of Jesus Christ, however they are friends of the world. This brings in the last item in the case and seals the case against them by the Word of God alone.

Item 7:

Revelation 3:15-17 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

Therefore, since those that have protested to date are vomited out of the body of Christ. They are not saved nor are they going to heaven. All by their own actions.

Now understand I bring the case to the people for one purpose and one alone. To awaken those listening and reading to one determination. That they need to fix their relationship with God and do what we are all commanded and taught. This is why in three gospels the story of the young rich man is included. For within it we see someone that believes he is going to heaven, yet he still has doubt. Therefore, he asks Christ this question. Let’s listen into this once again:

Matthew 19:16-22 NKJV – Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, ” ‘YOU SHALL NOT MURDER,’ ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘YOU SHALL NOT STEAL,’ ‘YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER,’ and, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ ” The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Items in these verses.

Items A: he follows the commandments taught by the Bible.

Items B: Jesus Christ Himself says this is not enough.

Item C: Jesus Christ orders the rich man to sell ALL his possessions and give them away.

Item D: Jesus Christ orders the rich man to follow Him. Meaning to spread the Word of God.

Item E: The young rich man rejects God. Becuase his possessions are more important to him than his salvation.

Simply, he chooses damnation over salvation. He chooses the temporal over the eternal.

This is how most now live. They would rather suffer for all eternity over having a fancy house, clothes and vehicles.

Why this is. Is because they have not been taught the true teachings within the Word of God which tells us to downsize and to live a needs-only lifestyle. Then to use our earthly wealth to spread the Word of God. This is proven with these verses from the Bible:

1 Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

And

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Stop fighting the case against you. Plead guilty.

Repent.

Transform your life.

Let us define the word repent from the Word of God.

Repent – G3340 – metanoeó – repent, change my mind, change the inner man (particularly with reference to acceptance of the will of God), to change one’s mind or purpose. To think differently or afterwards.

“Particularly with reference to the acceptance of the will of God.”

What is acceptance of the will of God?

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Therefore, just professing to be a follower of Jesus Christ is not enough. Jesus Himself made that clear in the verses where He was talking to the young rich man.

When you truly follow Jesus you must follow His command to live a needs-only lifestyle and use the majority of your earthly wealth to spread the word of God and to help those in need.

If all that truly professed to being a follower of Christ lived this simple command by Jesus Christ. There would be no homeless. No poor. No hungry.

This is the guilt that those that insist they can live their lives as they see fit and say they are followers of Christ must bear as they are vomited out of the Holy Body of Jesus Christ. Therefore they must embrace the Truth and accept their sin.

Time is running out. Earthly lives must change now. Not tomorrow. For any moment the first rapture will occur. Most will be left behind. Thinking and believing they are destine to heaven. However, they will find themselves left here on earth. Then they will be given two choices. Take the mark of the beast and live as they have lived to date. Or refuse the mark and be hunted, starved and then ultimately beheaded.

Martyrs that will be stored for a short time under the heavenly altar. However, this is only if they choose to truly follow Christ and live without material possessions.

Once again Repent!

Admit your guilt and confess then change your ways. For the glory of Christ.

God Bless
