"For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ" Jude 1:4
This verse is alive and well today as there are innumerable pastors, teachers, false apostles, and prophets who are preaching messages that if men believe and follow what these emissaries of Satan proclaim, those who follow these children of darkness are confirming their future appointment in hell.
How do I know that this verse is being fulfilled today? Because daily, I see social media posts of people celebrating their homosexual marriage, proudly displaying their ungodly relationships and then have the nerve to say things like, "God blessed their marriage." What??? God clearly tells us what He thinks of homosexual behavior, it is an abomination. Nor does He condone fornication, witchcraft, lying, stealing, cursing, gossiping, cowardliness, lust, pride, selfishness, hate. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Colossians 3:5, Leviticus 18:22) all sins that are in abundance throughout the supposed body of Christ.
What God does require is REPENTANCE!!! Turning from all sin, stop being children of wrath!
"If we claim to have fellowship with Him, and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth" 1 John 1:6.
Many today claim to be Christians and yet their lifestyle is one of wickedness, and they believe they are okay with God because they are being told and believe the twisted lies of wolves in sheep's clothing.
The Bible is crystal clear, those who practice a life of sin WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!! (1 Corinthians 6:9).
There is going to be a Day of Judgment, and God will judge everyone who has ever lived for everything that has been said and done while living on this earth. His wrath is going to be poured out on all the wicked and ungodly. The eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth. In order for the children of Satan to become children of God, they must believe The Good News, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, born of a virgin; Jesus lived and died but He rose from Dead and now offers Salvation to anyone who will believe in Him and repent. Salvation is being rescued from an eternity in hell and being reconciled to God and it is a free gift from God, anyone who will believe in the shed blood of the risen Savior, Jesus, will know and have a real relationship with the true God. You can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and saves us from the righteous wrath of God. But that is not all, He gives us a new heart and mind NOW, and we receive some of His blessings from heaven NOW and are equipped to be able to live a life that is holy and acceptable to Him NOW. (Romans 6:9; 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8, Isaiah 7:14, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19). We need to learn and obey all God reveals about living as citizens of His kingdom
1. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is real, He lived and died and rose from the grave. (Romans 10:9-10)
2. Believe that you are a sinner, repent-turn from your sins and realize and accept you need Jesus. (Mark 1:15, Matthew 4:17, Acts 3:19)
3. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and God. (Romans 10:9)
4. Find a local Bible-preaching church that does obey the commandment for water baptism for the remission of your sins and to identify yourself with Christ. (Acts 16:31).
5. Study the words of Jesus and the apostles to learn about the Kingdom of God.
5. Study the words of Jesus and the apostles to learn about the Kingdom of God.
This is just the first step to a lifelong journey of growing in truth and love with the God who created this earth and everything in it, including every human being that has ever lived.
