In Matthew 25 some friends of a committed Christian were not sure. Half hoped that what they remembered was enough but they could not explain it to the rest. Why the ignorance? Because most churches have dropped the Gospel of Salvation through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice (Mt. 7 v 21-23, 12 v 31, Eph. 2 v 4-13) in favour of Satan’s gospel: …. “forget what God has said (Gen. 2 v 17). It is not true. Decide what you think is bad for yourself and do what you feel is good for you and you will be your own god as if you are an immortal super-man with a spiritually powered life in a heaven on Earth: (Gen. 3 v 3-7).
The DNA of the whole human race is descended from one family about 10,000 years ago. This is a scientific fact that the godless hide from at their peril. Your time-fuse is much shorter than you think:
Time’s ticking by in the world today
It’s been ticking away for so long
That man has forgot
And called it a clock
But if isn’t a clock it’s a bomb
Find out seconds
Before it blows
No time left
To use your head
Cut the blue wire!
Well here goes
Or maybe
Its the red.
The ticking stops …..
Eternity starts.
Are you alive or dead?
Too late now to realise it was the ……………..
Our Father God wants to fill His home with children (Jn. 3 v 13-21). Salvation is based solely on your acceptance of His loving purpose (Ezk. 18 v 25-32) and assurance on your attitude to Jesus as your Lord and Saviour (Job 19 v 22-27, Ps. 86 v 5-13, Eph. 3 v 20, 1 Pt. 1 v 2 v 1-8).
There is nothing babies do that they can be ashamed of in the eyes of their parents. The law that governs their relationship is love so there is correction but not rejection (1 Jn. 3 v 9, 4 v 16-21). The parent’s duty is not to just clean up their messes but to love, comfort and teach them how to behave properly.
There is nothing that we do that is acceptable to our Almighty Father (Is. 64 v 6, Rom. 7) so we hide from Him (Gen. 3 v 8-12). This is due to Satan’s lies (Gen. 3 v 13). We feed off the ‘tree’ of the knowledge of evil and the fear of death from our inner alter ego and every outer source of adverse knowledge (Mt. 4 v 4, Jn. 8 v 40-46).
Everything we think, believe, discover, invent and do is tainted with evil. There is a plan that an evil master race of godmen will take over the world and enslave all to their warped will (Gen. 10 v 9, 11 v 4-9, Rev. 14 v 6-13). The survival of the fittest to the cost of the inferior (Satan/Darwin’s Theory) is unsustainable so the ‘unproductive’ millions who resist them are euthanized.
That life must die (Mt. 3 v 9-12, 1 Cor. 15 v 50-53). Only a life sustained by the love of our Father-God can live forever. You must be born again with Jesus’ life by the breath of his Holy Spirit (Mt. 12 v 50, 18 v 3-4, Jn. 1 v 12-13). Only those who cry to God as their Father and accept His will for their future will be redeemed ((Gen. 35 v 2-7, Job 1 v 9-11Rom. 6 v 3-14, 10 v 9-21).
A prophecy from God reveals His will so we can check the fake predictions against the consistent records of His many words and warnings that confirm His will (Eph. 4 v 14-25). If it just agrees with your will its source is very suspect (1 Kg. 22 v 12-23).
Many know we are in an end time but are getting ready for the wrong event (Heb. 12 v 22-29). Like Lots wife: they walk away from life into the jaws of death (Ex. 16 v 2-4, Is. 29 v 1-3). The Bride of Christ is centred on the Bridegroom and getting ready to leave (1 Thess. 3 v 13, 4 v 15-17, 2 Thess. 1 v 12, Rev. 3 v 11-13).
All who are trying to save their traditional religions, that have been proved to be corrupt, are centred on staying. Beware words that are centred on reviving traditional beliefs that are based on Christianised pagan Roman gods and on establishing a heaven on earth (2 Thess. 2 v 1-12, Rev. 12 v 9-12, 19 v 1-9).
They are led by religious spirits (Rev. 1, 2 & 3) which want their earthly kingdom to last forever (Is. 14 v 12-27, Ezk. 38 v 16-23, Mt. 16 v 23-26, Lk. 4 v 5-7). Religious spirits that accept Jesus as a prophet but not that he is both God and the Lord of creation, are seditious (1 Jn. 4 v 1-6).
They are individual unholy or evil spirits that were made to serve us but refused and want us to serve them (Heb. 1 v 14, 2 v 14-18). They rank from very powerful (Jude 8-12) to pathetic, persuasive liars (1 Kg. 22 v 21-23, Lk. 4 v 33-36, 8 v 28-33). Listening naturally to angelic spirits, or intuitive alter egos that are not of God, is our problem. Tell them to shut up in the name of Jesus (Jas. 1 v 5 v 8).
Because people do not seek but reject God’s truth they are ruled by malignant spirits. Instead of having His authority over them (Lk. 4 v 32-37, 10 v 16-21), spiritual ministry is rejected in favour of mental analysis based on Freud’s occult knowledge. As a result the mental health services are overwhelmed by incurable spiritual problems (Lk. 11 v 20-26).
The Holy Spirit is infinite, omniscient and omnipresent. He is not a spirit you can engage with as an individual person (Deut. 6 v 4). His tangible person is Jesus (Jn. 16 v 12-15). Hence while Jesus was still on earth people could not communicate with him universally via his Spirit (Jn. 16 v 7). When Adam lost the Father’s ‘breath of life’ His visible person had to descend to earth to speak to him (Gen. 3 v 7-13, Jn. 1 v 9-14).
Jesus had to be born of God as Adam was but via Eve’s untainted genus (Php. 2 v 1-13). This sinless man had to physically die for our sin against the Father’s love (2 Tim. 1 v 9-10, Heb. 9 v 14-28) before his Holy Spirit could re-engage and dwell within Adam’s reborn descendants again (Gen. 2 v 16-17, Jn. 3 v 6-7, 17 v 21-26, 1 Cor. 6 v 9-20).
Before Jesus as the ‘Lamb of God’ removed the barrier between a Holy God and our fallen nature, those who applied the covering life or blood of a substitute by faith in him were able to walk and talk only with God’s visible person (Gen. 3 v 8-11, 24, 32 v 24-29, Ex. 3 v 4-6, Jd. 6 v 11-22, 1 Sam. 3 v 4-10, Job 42 v 4-6, Lk. 1 v 28-29).
When Jesus died in our place for our sin unto death the veil of his body, which separated the Holy of Holies from sinful people lest they die (Jg. 13 v 22), was rent from top to bottom. Those sold out to Jesus instead of Satan have their carnal ways annulled (2 Tim. 1 v 9-14). His Holy Spirit is free to dwell within us again (Jn. 16 v 8-15, 1 Cor. 2 v 9-16, 6 v 16-20, Heb. 9 v 11-15, 28) and teach us how to administer the same gifts that Jesus has (Jn. 1 v 32, 14 v 10-14, 20 v 21-23, Acts 3 v 4-19).
Many believe in God (Jas. 2 v 18-20) but a belief that is not confirmed by God’s Holy Spirit is devoid of God’s breath of life (Eph. 1 v 7-14, 3 v 14-21, Heb. 3 v 7-19, 11 v 1-2, 12 v 6, 18-29). God’s Holy Spirit is holy. Those loyal to man’s religions cannot be saved (Mt. 7 v 19-23, Acts 5 v 16-33).
Their so called Bible studies are a presenter’s ideas about a subject that has little or nothing to do with God’s ideas and will for us (Jer. 14 v 4-17, Heb. 2). Why? Because men cannot do what God has said He wants to do (Php. 1 v 6, 3 v 3-10). Only if you come out from under the pseudo brides feel-good charms (Gen. 3 v 6, Rev. 2 & 3, 18 v 2-9, 19 v 2-9) can you receive his Father’s life as His children (Mt. 3 v 11, 16-17, 2 Cor. 6 v 16-19).
Hear what the love of Jesus is saying to those who will listen and grieve not his most Holy Spirit (Eph. 4 v 21-32). It is powerful stuff (Rev. 2 7 3). Only those who genuinely accept Jesus as their Lord can receive his Holy Spirit (Jn. 3 v 5, 16-21, Acts 7 v 51, 8 v 9-11, 15-23, 10 v 42-48, 19 v 2-7).
The God fearing and seeking (Jn. 6 v 65) must stop ingesting the lies from Satan’s children (Lk. 23 v 23, Jn. 18 v 38). Physical food only feeds the physical life of the carnal (Jn. 6 v 26-29, 47-52). The Lord’s Supper is the acceptance that the carnal life must die (Rom. 6 v 1-10) before the new life can be manifested (1 Cor. 11 v 26-27).
The only source of truth is God’s ‘tree’ for inner spiritual life (Jn. 6 v 33, 62-63, 8 v 47). Your inner conversation should only be with Jesus via his omnipresent Holy Spirit. This is the difference between the self-centred friends of the Bride of Christ (Ps. 45 v 14) and the Bride (Jn. 18 v 37).
Religious spirits that accept Jesus as a prophet but not that he is both God and the Lord of creation, are seditious (1 Jn. 4 v 1-6). They may believe in God (Jas. 2 v 18-20) but faith without the evidence of God’s acceptance is devoid of God’s breath of life (Eph. 1 v 7-14, 3 v 14-21, Heb. 3 v 7-19, 11 v 1-2, 12 v 6, 18-29).
Hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to those who are still joined to carnal churches: “If you want my favour you must come out from among them and be not conformed to the ideas of unclean gods (Gen. 2 v 17) then I will receive you as my sons and daughters (2 Cor. 15-18). Only those who are not overcome but overcome their religious spirits (Rev. 1 v 20) will feed off the ‘tree of life’ in heaven (Rev. 2 v 5-7) ….. for her sins are so great that she can no longer remain unpunished and will be rewarded with plagues. As a queen she has entertain the doctrines of false spirits (Is. 47 v 9-15, Rev. 18 v -10).
Only those who believe and bow to Christ as their Lord and Saviour are his Bride (1 Cor. 10 v 1-12, 15 v 23, Heb. 4 v 1-2, 11 v 6). They will be saved from his wrath (1 Thess. 1 v 9-10, 5 v 2, 9, 23, Rev. 16 v 13-15). The rest are described as in the days of Noah (Mt. 24 v 37-39): they are asleep when he comes (Mt. 24 v 44-51, Jn. 14 v 3, Rev. 3 v 3-10).
Like the wise and foolish virgins (Zech. 4 v 12, Mt. 25 v 8-12, Lk. 13 v 24-28), only half of the friends of the bride, who do not know Jesus (Mt. 7 v 21-3, 25 v 12) will wake up at the last minute (Ezk. 18 v 25-32, Lk. 17 v 3, 26-37). They know just enough to be saved by repenting and committing themselves unto Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
You must walk by faith in His words. Ask for things He has promised to give to those who trust in His words and you will learn to differentiate between your thoughts and His which are not of your thoughts (Is. 55 v 8, 1 Cor. 2 v 12-16). Your self-saving thoughts are the opposite of His thoughts.
Stop conversing with your old alter ego that records your past mistakes, feeds you with bad thoughts, false doctrines and mortal compromises against God’s words (Gen. 3 v 5, 22-24, Acts 5 v 3-4, 1 Cor. 11 v 7-10, 26-29). Feed your spiritual life by conversing with Jesus every day about anything and everything and you will feed off his life (M. 4 v 4).
Our lives are only frustrating and in a hopeless mess because we do not walk openly with our Father-God (1 Jn. 1 v 4-7). Our hidden, unconfessed mistakes are not corrected so we tread in our own mess (Gen. 4 v 6, 1 Jn. 3 v 12-15, Acts 5 v 3-5).
Jesus has cleaned up our ‘mess’ (Ps. 86 v 5-13, Eph. 2 v 4-10, 3 v 20, 6 v 15, 1 Pt. 1 v 3-25, 2 v 1-8). Salvation is based solely on your acceptance of His love and motives (Ps. 40 v 1-11, Jn. 13 v 8). Finding God is humbling but very exciting.
Repentance is to turn around because you know you are going in the wrong direction. Most people are saved when their life seems to stop: because it becomes meaningless; a desperate struggle, a hopeless failure or as they are dying. God loves mending broken sinners (Lk. 23 v 40-43, Jn. 8 v 6-11) and saving disillusioned achievers who have gained all this life has to offer.
Our Father in heaven judges your heart not your head (Jn. 6 v 63-65, Rom. 10 v 10, Heb. 4 v 12). One of the richest men in Israel climbed a tree just to get a passing glimpse of Jesus. Jesus stopped under his tree and said he wanted to spend the weekend with him. A very ambitious lawyer named Saul was knocked off his horse by God and immediately changed (Acts 9 v 6).
Those who are getting weighed down with dirt and guilt wash them off and start a new life (Mt. 3 v 11-12) but many who are baptised turn back to the old (1 Cor. 10 v 1-12, Heb. 3 v 15-19). There is therefore a series of tests base on self-survival, ambition and doubting God’s motives (Mt. 4).
If we confess our sins (1 Jn. 1 v 8-10) he will not just forgive us but, if we let him (Heb. 4 v 9-16), his love will separate them from us. The only sin that will bind you to Satan’s fate forever is based on the pride of the God-defying (Ex. 10 v 21-29, Acts 12 v 21-23). It stops them accepting God’s words and Saviour so they condemn themselves to a hopeless eternity.
They have no excuse. The Bible message, recorded by many scribes, over 6 millennium, has not changed: trust in God’s promised Redeemer and he will save you from eternal death (Gen.3 v 14-15, Job 19 v 22-27, Rev. 12 v 10-12).
Only humans who seek God’s will can regain their relationship with the Lord God Almighty and have a glorious future (Jn. 17 v 12-24, Heb. 2 v 5-15). Those who serve the Kingdom of God will walk and talk with the Father through His tangible person in heaven via His omnipresent Spirit (Acts 3 v 3-26).
God is awesome but not mysterious. He is plain speaking to His children even when answering their disheartened questions (1 Kg. 19 v 10-18). God’s telephone number is Jer 333. Talk to Him as your loving Father. Ask and He will answer (Mt. 7 v 7-9, Jas. 1 v 2-12, 4 v 2-10) even if it is ‘no’.
Ask a silly question and you will get a silly answer. Ask in faith and rest in him for the help you need and you will be kept in perfect peace (Is. 26 v 3, Lk. 12 v 28-31, Jas. 1 v 2-12, 4 v 2-10).
Just as listening to our inner ego or spirits that are not of God is natural to us (Heb. 2 v 14-18) we must learn to discern (Acts 18 v 25) how to walk, talk and hear our Lord’s voice naturally. His conversations with those who found him, or were accepted as sincere, were not mystical but clear. He is the rewarder of those who diligently cry to Him for aid (Heb. 11 v 6).
He personally shared His plans with Abraham, was a friend of Job, fought alongside Gideon, called to Samuel, empathised with Elijah and reinstated Peter as the shepherd of His sheep because he had learnt to trust in Jesus’ words alone because he sadly knew ‘in me dwells no good thing ’ (Jn. 21 v 18, Rom. 7 v 18).
Only the genuine are sealed (Eph. 1 v 11-21, Heb. 6 v 13-20). Those who accept God’s promised Saviour by faith enter into his completed rest (Heb. 4 v 9-16, 11 v 1-3, 12 v 7-11). They are conformed to the behaviour and the mind of Jesus (1 Cor. 2) as they respond to the convictions of God’s Holy Spirit (Ps. 32 v 2, Jn. 16 v 6-1, Rom. 4 v 3, 9 v 30-33, Gal. 3 v 10-14, Jas. 2 v 23-24).
The gifts of his Holy Spirit confirm God’s love (Rom. 7 v 23-25, 8 v 4-16, 38-39, Eph. 1 v 13-23, Heb. 6 v 17 v 20). It is very wonderful to rest in the assurance that the death of Jesus has annulled your sin but it is more wonderful to comprehend that the Father is confident of your love for Him (Php. 1 v 6-9, 3 v 4-16).
God is a realist. Jesus proved what he said was true by doing many miracles. As the Lord of all creation he healed all the needy who asked him for help. He fed the hungry and released the repentant who were bound by their sin but men who live for bread alone are stuck with their dying life (Mt. 4 v 4). His truth does not remove the woes of this life but sets you free from their power.
He empowers you to let go of this hopeless life (Jn. 8 v 32, Heb. 2 v 14-18). His eternal ministry is the offer of a new God related and spiritually sustained life (Jn. 6 v 26-29, 58-63). That life is not mystic but a spiritual reality (Jn. 16 v 33, Heb. 11 v 1-3). Mysticism only conceals evil intent (Rev. 13 v 11-17).
Miracles under Jesus’ authority do not overcome reality: they prove that only the Lord who made the laws of nature can over-rule them (Col. 1 v 12-23). Neglect his words at your peril (Heb. 12 v 22-29).
Those who try to defend and save themselves by acting as if they are good remain death fearing and self and sin conscious (Gen. 3 v 7-8, Lk. 10 v 25-29). They live like a hunted animal (Lk. 15 v 16-24, 1 Cor. 3 v 19-20) yet they have delusions of grandeur (Gen. 3 v 5). They do not respond to the Father’s love by faith in His words (Gen. 2 v 16-17, Mt. 4 v 4) but accept Darwin’s Satanic gospel of the survival of the fittest based on the more advanced on feeding off the weak (Jn. 8 v 37-47, 10 v 1-8, 12 v 9-11).
The missing links are missing! Like the Red Indians, the hunter-gathering Neanderthals were the same species as their city dwelling cousins but his ignorant, ultra-racist theory classed them as primitive sub-humans.
The age of a gold ring is not the same as the gold. The earth’s vast created, water covered, gravity graded, formless matter (Gen. 1 v 1-2: bara; created, tohum; chaotic) is not the same age as the formed, life supporting land mass (Gen. 1 v 11, 31, Ex. 20 v 11: waya’as; fashion out of existing materials).
Man’s body was made from loose surface mineral (Gen. 2 v 7, 15) and he was commanded by His maker to maintain the earth with the help of His Spirit (Gen. 1 v 2, Rom. 8 v 19-29). Adam wanted to do it ‘my way’ based on advice given by a liar and a robber. As a result over 97% of the original world species have died out and the rate is accelerating. Unless it gets a major refit soon it will no longer support life (Is. 66 v 4-24, Rev. 1, 2 & 3).
Man’s God defying answer is to invest billions in metaphysical fairy stories about living on an alien planet or finding another life supporting planet in our Galaxy that is only a few thousand, million, million kilometres beyond our reach. Others think life is self-perpetuating: any unscientific nonsense that makes life a meaningless fluke instead of admitting the obvious (Rom. 1 v 18-32) that God made everything to fulfil His preconceive plan to fill His home with His children.
Such sin and death powered fools (Ps. 14) have turned God’s Kingdom into a den of thieves (Lk. 19 v 45-48). God’s 10 laws for a just society are replaced with unending laws that bind the law abiding and excuse law breakers. Their overflowing prisons, that aimed at reforming law breakers instead of being a deterrent, do neither so they are let out early to rob and kill again.
The spoilt children of God the Mother think she will save them from the sins of their self-pleasing lives. After the Bridegroom and the Bride have left (Mt. 25 v 10, Rev. 18 v 23-24) her sorceries will deceive many. She will burn with them (Rev. 19 v 1-4).
The fire is coming (Mt. 3 v 7-10, Rev. 1 v 20, 3 v 11-13, 16 v 1-18). The ‘prophets of Baal”, who preach love, joy and peace when there is none, claim it is due to man’s ever increasing burning of fossil fuels. This alone would only produce the CO2 blanket under which the fuels grew so abundantly in the first place but we are also destroying our forests.
Our dying Sun’s activity has reached a critical peak that if not regulated will destroy life on earth (2 Thess. 2 v 3-12). To stop people turning to the only one who can control it (1 Kg. 17 v 1, Mt. 14 v 32-36) the metaphysical worshippers of the god of this world promote social and science fiction (Jer. 2 v 26-35, 7 v 28-31, Heb. 2 v 14-15).
Thanks to hopeless atheists promoting Nietzsche’s madness as sane, many media stories are about supermen who defy gravity, bullets, death and demonic villains to deliver us from evil. The true fairy stories are very dark. The real death defying godmen, like Cain, Nimrod and Caesars, are destroying democracies and ruling a world that is sleep-walking into hell on earth (1 Thess. 5 v 1-10, Rev. 3 v 3).
Many prefer to believe in Satan’s mystic mind games instead of the truth (Lk. 13 v 34-35, 16 v 27-31). They teach and trust in (Mt. 15 v 9) their self-saving, religious practices. They are driven to defend the gods who are killing them!
Don’t talk of love: show me (Jas. 2 v 18-20)! But Christians are no longer free to share the truth with the lost yet demonic worship is promoted in schools as a harmless choice of will when in fact it is worse than poking your eyes out (Mt. 18 v 9-14).
Wittgenstein stated that logic based on atheistic assumptions is false. Wake up! Your life is definitely going to end in fear (Lk. 16 v 22-31): having a funeral plan is not the solution. Unless you open your dark heart to the light of God’s truth and cry to the Father to save you before you die you will be plagued by guilt, fear and remorse (Mt. 6 v 12-15, 24-51) for ever and ever.
God is a realist. Jesus proved what he said was true by doing many miracles. As the Lord of all creation he healed all the needy who asked him for help. He fed the hungry and released the repentant who were bound by their sin but men who live for bread alone are stuck with their dying life (Mt. 4 v 4). His truth does not remove the woes of this life but sets you free from their power.
He empowers you to let go of this hopeless life (Jn. 8 v 32, Heb. 2 v 14-18). His eternal ministry is the offer of a new God related and spiritually sustained life (Jn. 6 v 26-29, 58-63). That life is not mystic but a spiritual reality (Jn. 16 v 33, Heb. 11 v 1-3). His miracles did not overcome reality: they showed that he made the laws of nature and rules over them (Col. 1 v 12-23). Neglect his words at your peril (Heb. 12 v 22-29).
Why should we trust him? He humbled himself and put on human form then died as criminal hanging on a gallows to redeem us from our sinful nature (Php. 2 v 8-11). If instead of trying to excuse it we confess our inherited life is divorced from God’s goodness, we can start a new life in obedience to Jesus as our Lord.
If you confess that your death bound state is wretched (Rom. 7 v 24, 10 v 8-15) and humble yourself at the foot of the cross your sin unto death will be wiped out. For eternity only the deeds of your new life will be remembered (1 Cor. 3 v 11-23).
It is only foolish pride that rejects the Holy Spirits conviction of sin (Mt. 12 v 31-37): the lost consign themselves to eternal self-hate and despair. Only the missed opportunities, foolish mistakes and bad deeds of their dead life will be remembered forever.
We are made one with God the Father’s family through a marriage covenant with Jesus with the promise of a new life in the home he has prepared (1 Cor. 11 v 23-26, Jn. 14 v 3, 23, 17 v 21-26, Eph. 1 v 4-14).
The redeemed are assayed and purified as silver. The dross is removed through decisions made by faith in the desert place where their demons live (Deut. 1). It is a work of the Holy Spirit not the unholy, self-preserving soul (1 Cor. 2 v 12-16, Heb. 4 v 9-16).
Men can only baptise with water so they change god’s words to suit. They down grade John the Baptist’s promise (Mt. 21 v 25-27, Lk. 3 v 16-17). The command to baptise in the name of the father (fire) and also (kia) the Son (water) and also the Spirit (breath) is bypassed.
The Apostles only baptised in the name of Jesus (Rom. 6) in water which is your commitment to giving up on your old life. Only God’s Spirit can give the gift of His promised new life by baptising with His breath and purifying with fire (Acts 2 v 38, 10 v 38-48, 19 v 5-6, Heb. 4). Those who are not free to receive the entry gift of tongues are still self-motivated.
All life belongs to God; He expects a return on His investment (Mt. 25 v 23-30). Those who do not progress due to dead religious beliefs or unbelief have repetitive, wasted meaningless lives, (Heb. 5 v 8-14). If you deceive, damage or destroy the life of another you abort the Father’s embryo children.
So what? Those who are not joined to the new Adam will not inhabit his God sustained kingdom but be left behind in Satan’s kingdom which dissolves into chaos and perpetual fire (Rev. 2 v 7-11, 20 v 11-15, 21 v 1-8). This is the known final state of our entropic universe (Tophet).
The purpose of the Father’s extravagant creation is to fill His house will children born of His love (Jn. 1 v 9-13, 3 v 3, 16-21, Rev. 21 v 3-4). Jesus is our role model (Php. 2 v 2-16). He made all that is made out of limitless power (Col. 1 v 10-23) then formed it so that it would support life.
Our earthly life is our preparation for that exciting future (Heb. 2 v 10-18). Those sold out to Jesus (Rom. 8 v 8-13, 1 Cor. 7 v 19-23) are as engaged (Eph. 1 v 11-14) or promised that new life (Php. 1 v 6, Heb. 6 v 12-20).
The self-pleasing who reject that schooling (Heb. 3 v 1-11) choose Satan as their role model. They are covenanted or engaged to Satan (Gal. 4 v 8-9, Heb. 2 v 14-17)! They receive the brand of their owner (Mt. 7 v 15-27, Rev. 14 v 8-13) and are controlled through the ‘nose ring’ of this world (Rom. 5 v 15-19, 6 v 5-14, 7 v 14-15). They have wasted, futile lives and a hopeless, tormented future.
There are many who believe that Jesus is the Father’s promised redeemer but they are double minded (Jas. 1 v 5-8, 2 v 18-20). They delay deciding to give up their old ego until later (Jas. 4 v 3-12). They think following a religious formula will please God when in fact ever idea is different because they choose what pleases them depending on their whether (Eph. 4 v 4-18).
All ideologies and religions are anti-Christ devices (Rev. 19 v 1-8) to suit people who want to be their own god or just want to be friends with a god. All who reject God’s will and do not want to bow to Jesus as their Lord will remain as Satan’s children forever (Jn. 8 v 42-46, Rev. 19 v 20, 20 v 15).
Those who wake up to this fact and repent, even at the very last minute (Mt. 20 v 8 v 16), will be forgiven. Oh what matchless grace links thy Holy Name with mine!
It would seem that about half the Christian ones wake up too late (Mt. 25 v 2). What a gamble! People buy lottery tickets on ridiculous odds but those who hang onto to their self-determined lives (Mt.16 v 23-26) until the last minute (Ezk. 18 v 25-32) risk missing the whole point of their existence (1 Thess. 5 v 23, Rev. 16 v 15, 18 v 48).
