Maranatha - Awaiting Christ's Return

1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Rapture and End Time News – Making Jesus in Their Own Image

By

On July 7, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

If you are a born-again Christian, did you ever think you would see the day when you would be reading a post like this? I never thought I would read one, let alone write one. Of course, we have been hearing about artificial intelligence more and more. But honestly, I never thought there would come a day where AI would literally re-write Scriptures.

It stands to reason that is being fulfilled today because men’s hearts are deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked! (Jeremiah 17:9) When prayer and Bible reading were taken out of schools in the 1960’s, and the Supreme Court ruled that the Ten Commandments could no longer be displayed in public places, we began to see the spiritual decline of our Country. The moral decline didn’t stop there. In 1965, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution guaranteed homosexuals the right to privacy. In 1967, the Summer of Love began in San Francisco which celebrated “free love” to a 100,000 young people with no fear of the consequences. You can be sure that the god of this world, Satan, has worked frantically to ruin the moral fiber of this nation. He entered through a small door in the 1960’s and has been persistently penetrating his evil agenda into the hearts of our countrymen.

2 Cor 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

1 John 2:11  But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Dear reader, today’s post goes a million steps beyond that and it is directed at God’s Holy Word, the Scriptures. Satan hates it and is bent on destroying it. But how? Here enters AI. What does God say will happen to anyone who tries to change the Scriptures?

Rev 22:18-19  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  (19)  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Deu 4:2  Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Pro 30:5-6  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  (6)  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

I wouldn’t mess with God on what He considers Holy!

Here’s a taste of what is happening:

In PETA’s AI-overhauled creation account titled “The Book,” the terms “beasts” and “creatures” are exchanged for “beings” and the clothing that God provides for Adam and Eve is made of hemp and bamboo instead of animal skin, according to the press release. Additionally, PETA’s version of Genesis includes Abraham and Sarah adopting a dog named “Herbie” from a shelter.

https://tinyurl.com/2kbj47ns

This is no laughing matter. The first of the Ten Commandments shows us who is foremost:

Exo 20:1-3  And God spake all these words, saying,  (2)  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  (3)  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

One of the World Economic Forum’s top men stated:

Yuval Noah Harari, suggested that AI could be used to create a new Bible that will “be able to invent new concepts and beliefs that are more socially acceptable than the Bible.” Harari further noted that in the years to come AI could make religions that may be “actually correct” and asked the audience to consider what religion could look like “whose holy book is written by an AI.”

As if these weren’t enough:

In March 2023, a user on the popular gaming platform Twitch created an AI Jesus that users could participate in a question-and-answer game with the generated Jesus avatar. Questions included asking for personal prayers and dating advice. Can you see where all of this leading? We are moving extremely fast into the destruction of everything good and wholesome.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – Hidden Agenda No Longer Hidden

By

On June 28, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

We are most certainly in the end times. Confusion runs rampant in our streets. In years past, one would not have heard nor seen such things as we are today. Just last week, there was a march in Manhattan where one could hear chanting:

We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!

https://tinyurl.com/yc6ma44m

It’s not even hidden – it is out in the open and there is no longer a hidden agenda. It is pure evil spawned by the devil himself. The devil has wanted the children from the beginning! He tried to destroy the seed of Moses so Jesus would not be born. He tried to destroy Jesus through the work of Herod. His goals are totally the opposite of Jesus’ goals!

1 Pet 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Cor 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1 John 5:19  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Some government servants took a stand on moral ground. But I’m afraid that these stands are not enough. The Church is not screaming louder than those who promote such evil deeds.

“This movement grooms minors to have mastectomies and castration and fuels a multi billion dollar medical child abuse industry,”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted in response to the clip.

This is pure, unadulterated sin! Imagine allowing your child(ren) to be lab rats undergoing experimental surgeries where lifetime repercussions result! This is no different than Josef Mengele’s surgeries during Hitler’s reign of terror. People were outraged when the truth came out. Where are these objectors now? Why isn’t the Church screaming at the top of her lungs to put an end to all of this!

Joh 3:19-20  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  (20)  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Jesus Christ will win in the end and the judgment that will be passed on people who participate and support such events will have to account for their actions. Their own sins will bring judgment upon themselves.

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

No matter what sin(s) one commits, the end result is the same. (Romans 3:23) No one can enter Heaven on his own merit. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Every human being since the fall of Adam and Eve is born with a sinful nature. You don’t have to teach a child to do wrong; you have to teach a child to do what is right. No matter what a person does, that person starts off life the same as everyone else. After we are born, we start our lives heading down the path of condemnation, which is eternity in the Lake of Fire. That is why the Apostle John said that we are condemned already!

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That is why Jesus said we must be “born-again”! (John 3:3, 3:7) We cannot be born physically a second time. But our spirit is born-again. Rather than seek after evil, we now desire to seek after that which is good. We must turn around spiritually! We must repent of that life and forsake our sinful nature. That is why Jesus said:

Mat 7:13-14  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  (14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

Rapture and End Time News – Bilderberg Meetings

By

On June 16, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

The following information about the Bilderberg meeting is taken from their very own website. They don’t hide who they are but they sure do hide the details of their discussions. No media is allowed, which should be a red flag to the world. They list their topics for discussion but one can only imagine what is discussed and for their end goal.

Their 69th annual meeting was kicked off this year on May 19th and held in Lisbon, Portugal. Their agenda for this year’s meeting looks like this:

18 – 21 MAY 2023 LISBON, PORTUGAL

  • AI
  • Banking System
  • China
  • Energy Transition 
  • Europe
  • Fiscal Challenges
  • India 
  • Industrial Policy and Trade
  • NATO
  • Russia
  • Transnational Threats
  • Ukraine 
  • US Leadership

These meetings began in 1954 and from what I can tell, they are self serving discussions amongst the global elites. One only needs to look at the list of participants of this meeting to see that they have many with wealth, banking, etc. You can Google any one of them to find out their background. You can see what role they play in this group. Like the World Economic Forum, it’s a list of people with various pedigrees; people coming together to discuss the future of our world. For what purpose, I wonder?

1Ti 4:1-2  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  (2)  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

I put the entire list so you can see who is in attendance and the “experience” they bring to the table. Furthermore, the attendees are protected by more than 400 heavily armed guards! The premises have physical barricades as well. Why?

Just to give you a “clue” as to what goes on at these meetings, here is a quote by a former Bilderberg member, Richard Salant. He was the President of CBS News in the 1960’s and 1970’s:

“Our job is not to give people what they want, but what we decide they should have.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1993/02/17/richard-s-salant-dies/cdf0c368-8e2e-4f2b-853c-3c99d2d51dcb/

Why am I posting this? All of their meetings are done in secret. Nothing good comes from secret meetings. No media is allowed. Why? Also, take a look at any of the members on Wikipedia. The pedigree and employment backgrounds should be alerting you that, like Klaus Schwab and the WEF, there is more than meets the eye.

Eph 5:11-13  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.  (12)  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.  (13)  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

2 Co 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The time is coming when it will be too late for people to repent. The time is now!

Luk 21:35-36  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  (36)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – Gender Identity

By

On June 7, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 5:2  Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Mar 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Mat 19:4-5  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,  (5)  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

There are no mistakes with God. The genetic makeup of a man and a woman are most certainly different. When God created mankind, He said His work was very good! (Genesis 1:31) There are no mistakes with God.

I am not here to pass judgment on anyone because that is God’s job. (Revelation 20:11-15) My job as a Christian is to draw sinners to Jesus Christ so they can be saved, just as my friend drew me to Him in 1980! (Mark 16:15) Thank you, Vicky!!! 🙌🙌 Praise the Lord that she shared the good news with me. That is true love and that is how Christians should behave.

If you have been scarred by hurtful and condemning comments made by “Christians,” then they have been disobedient to God’s Word. We are to love all of God’s creation and to point them to everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

1 John 4:20-21  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?  (21)  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Reader, you must understand that your actions today are not going to condemn you before God! Really, Kate??? The Bible says that everyone who is born is already condemned because they are born with a sinful nature. Just as I was already condemned before I became born-again. (John 3:3, 3:7)

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That is the whole purpose of being “born-again”! One must be born-again in order to go from the “condemned” line to the “not condemned line. Once one is born-again, the old sinful nature is replaced with a desire to live for God. Christians are not sinless but they will sin less and less as they grow spiritually. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Friend, today’s end-time agenda is deceiving many into believing that because they are the result of evolution, there are genetic “mistakes.”

What used to be a “theory of evolution” is now looked upon as fact. But in the beginning, it was not so. Can you not see that these are lies that are being thrown at people from the father of lies!

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The devil desires to kill you so you will go to Hell. That is his ultimate goal. He is filled with lies that are powerful. He is the opposite of God. God has truth and life (John 14:6) while the devil has lies and death. In fact, he will cause those lies to appear as though they are from God! They are from the god of this world.

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Cor 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Cor 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Reader, God did not make a mistake when He created you. He loves you (John 3:16) and wants you to be saved so you can spend eternity with Him. God made you in His image and He said His creation was very good.

Gen 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The only way to find the truth in a world filled with lies is by reading the Bible. It is our manual for life as we walk this earth. God didn’t leave us empty-handed to go willy-nilly into a world that has gone crazy. He loves us and has given us the Bible so we can find out His will for us.

Joh 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

If you believe that you are a mistake of evolution, then you are not alone. There are at least one-third of children in England between 16-18 that believe it as well. I’m saddened by this article.

Almost a third of youngsters have been taught that a woman can have a penis. That is just one of the concerning findings that Civitas, the Institute for the Study of Civil Society, a British think tank, has revealed in a new report. Show, tell and leave nothing to the imagination: How critical social justice is undermining British schooling.

The organisation conducted a survey in England of more than 1,100 youngsters aged 16 to 18 and a poll of a similar number of parents of younger teenagers.

Gender Identity

This is not a new thing, nor is social justice. The Bible has much to say on the topic and we can know what is the truth if we only read the Bible. If you are a believer, your job isn’t to scream and yell as the unbelievers do to us. Our job is to point them to the truth and to love them. God will reveal their sin to them – it is up to you to reveal His Word to them. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

In Comfort During the End Times, Devotionals

Good morning, Reader! Today’s Scripture verses pricks my heart! Most believers see the Heavenly Father as a God of love and judgment. But they don’t really see Him as a God who pities those that fear Him. Furthermore, the verse 14 says that God remembers we are weak, we are as dust. Of course He would know! He is the one who made us, amen?

When the world seems to be catapulting toward destruction and we wonder how much worse it can get, we should remind ourselves of God’s compassion and what His some of His other characteristics.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Does this not bless you??? We are not left alone to deal with the tragedies and trials of this life! As born-again believers, Christ’s Father becomes our Father! When the Father looks at us, He sees Christ and the blood He shed on the cross for our sins! We have become the “elect of God” and are able to go to the Father and plead for mercy and comfort during these difficult times! (Colossians 3:12)

In fact, the Father loves us so much that He has graven us on the palms of His hands, Christian!! I can’t help but get goosebumps when I read these verses!

Isaiah 49:15-16  Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.  (16)  Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Unfortunately, the one who is not born-again cannot claim this promise! The unsaved world is treading spiritual waters trying to stay afloat in a world that is going mad. Sadly, they will not stay afloat. They are treading toward the destruction of their very soul. 😥 The devil’s ability to blind the world is powerful. Many laugh at this and think it is foolishness, but the Bible specifically talks about it.

2 Corinthians 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

John 12:40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

The sad thing is that the lost will never know the comfort, compassion and love that the Heavenly Father has awaiting for them should they accept the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. They don’t understand that Jesus is God, and He made Himself flesh so that He could be born of a virgin, live a sinless life to become the perfect sacrifice to atone for the lost’s sins! God loves the world so much that He knew we could not gain entrance into Heaven on our own merit! (Romans 5:8, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10) God lovingly provided a way for His creation to be able to come back into fellowship with Him! He lost that fellowship when Adam and Eve chose to sin in the Garden of Eden. God had made man to live forever and He provided for them a beautiful and bountiful garden in which to live! Adam and Eve gave it all up. But the Heavenly Father wants us to return to Him and for those who do, He will provide that fellowship once again! How much love and compassion is that! If you are not certain about salvation and don’t know what to do, please go here! If you sincerely come to salvation after reading this, please leave a comment and I will be happy to help you with the next steps!

As believers, we have so much at our fingertips to pull from for encouragement. We can read our Bibles, search out songs to encourage our hearts, and bow before the Lord of lords and Kings of kings in prayer! We can have intimate fellowship with the Creator of the universe!! But to the person who is not born-again, he has only himself to turn to and there’s no comfort in one’s own heart. The unbeliever doesn’t have the comfort that the believer does; they may be able to access the resources but that comfort just isn’t there. Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Hell – What Is It and What Should I know About It?

In Devotionals, Miscellaneous, What's Stopping You From Salvation?

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Good morning, Reader! I will be starting a new series dealing with the topic of what excuses people use for not accepting Christ. But before I can start on that series, I feel it’s necessary to explain just what Hell and the Lake of Fire really are and why it’s so important to prevent yourself from going there! Please take a moment and let’s study the matter out together.

What is This Place Called Hell?

Hell is the place where the unsaved go after they die but it is not the place where they will spend eternity. Some refer to hell as the lake of fire but it is not. The lake of fire is the final punishment of all those who were released from hell to be judged at the Great White Throne judgment. (Matt. 22:13, Rev. 20:15) It is not a place where you go to “party with your friends.” There is no joy in hell. It is a place designed for punishment. It is not like prison where you will be provided with three meals a day, television and gym privileges. It is a place originally prepared for Satan and his fallen angels. (Matt. 25:41) But because man with his own evil deeds did not repent, he also will be cast there along with the devil and his demons.

Hell is outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matt. 25:30, Mk. 9:47-48) Those in hell are separated from Christ, who is the Light! They will long to “take back” their rebellious lives and sin; longing to reverse their error in not accepting the Lord’s precious salvation! They will be endlessly crying over their circumstances; they will have inexpressible, irreversible and unending pain! If you’ve burned yourself, even the slightest, you know how painful a burn can be. This will be all over your body – not one spot left untouched.

In hell, the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. This old English term, “worm,” is defined as:

  • Remorse; that which incessantly gnaws the conscience; that which torments.
    Where their worm dieth not. Mark 9.
Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

In other words, one just doesn’t fall asleep when he dies. It is clear that the dead in hell will have memories and they will eternally regret not having accepted Christ’s salvation. (Rev. 14:10-11) Each lost soul will remember those times when someone tried to tell them about the Lord and the need for salvation. This soul will be tortured with regret for all eternity. Each soul will remember his family and will beg to have someone go warn them about what awaits them if they don’t repent of their sin. (Luke 16:19-31, specifically Luke 16:27-31)

Hell is a place of torment, not only mentally as we read above, but physically. Think of the worst pain you’ve ever had and imagine it never going away but staying with you for all eternity. (Matt. 25:41, 46) It’s difficult to imagine in our finite minds just how long eternity is. But do you really want to find out in this way? The Apostle James said in James 4:14 that life is a vapor – it lasts but for a moment and then vanishes. When one thinks about eternity past, present and future, our life is just that. Why would a person prefer to live with their sins in this lifetime (which is very short in comparison to eternity), and trade that life in for eternal punishment???

Who Will Go to Hell?

The Bible is very clear about salvation and what will happen to those who refuse to accept it. Everyone not found written in the Book of Life will be in hell. (Rev. 20:15) The Apostle Paul wrote in Phil. 4:3 that his fellow laborers’ names are in the book of life. Therefore, it stands to reason that anyone who is born-again will have his name in the Lamb’s book of life (Rev. 21:27) But those whose names are not found in the book of life will be judged according to their works which are recorded in books as well (Rev. 20:12). These are not works that gain one entrance into heaven. These are sins recorded that will keep you out of heaven; sins that you refused to repent of and these will be exposed at the Great White Throne Judgment. You will not be able to make excuses at this point. It will be too late.

Anyone who did not obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ will go to hell. (2 Thess. 1:8-9) It may astonish you but the fact that you’re delaying salvation reveals that you are willfully rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your delay only goes to show what you think about eternity.

Anyone who doesn’t know God will go to hell. One can “know about” Jesus and yet not know Him personally. (2 Thessalonians 1:8) You may say you know God because you are of a certain religion. I was raised Catholic and I knew about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. But I did not know them personally. You thought you knew your spouse when you first got married, but now that you’ve been married a few years, you really know your spouse. It’s no different with the Lord. The unsaved have heard His name and have used it in cursing. But they really don’t know Him at all.

The unjust will go to hell. The Apostle Peter makes it clear that if God can cast the devil and the fallen angels into hell, He will also cast those who did not accept His Son as Saviour. (2 Peter 2:4-9) The word unjust is anyone who acts contrary to the divine law. The just live by faith. (Hab. 2:4, Rom. 1:17, Gal. 3:11, Heb. 10:38) The unjust do not live by faith. They live according to the god of this world who has blinded them. (2 Cor. 4:4)

All the ungodly will be in hell. Much like the unjust, these are people who do ungodly things. Anything that goes against the Scriptures is considered ungodly. We see so much of this now. As well, anyone who did not accept Christ will be punished. Who are the ungodly? Revelation 21:8 outlines it beautifully!

Revelation 21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Notice the first two listed as well as the last one. People have a tendency to categorize sin: the not so bad and the really bad. However, James 2:10 tells us that if you lied, you are guilty of all sins. Even one sin will keep you out of Heaven. That is the whole purpose of Jesus coming to earth and dying for our sins! (Col. 2:14) He knew we couldn’t go a day without sinning. However, once we are born-again and are forgiven of all of our sins, we have the power to say no to sin! So if you are fearful (afraid to receive salvation) because of what your family may think, you will go to hell. If you don’t believe in Jesus Christ, you will go to hell. If you lie, you will go to hell! The other sins listed are obvious ones and those who do such sins will go to hell.

But there is hope, my friend. Hell is not a laughing matter. You have no idea when you will die. No one knows. You could be in a car accident going home from work and be killed. You could have a heart attack and be gone in a split second! I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.
