SIN
Cursed...
Jeremiah
17:5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts
in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns
away from the LORD.
Galatians
3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is
written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do
everything written in the Book of the Law."
Enemies...
Psalms
139:20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse
your name.
James 4:4
You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world
is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world
becomes an enemy of God.
Unrepentant...
Romans 2:5
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are
storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when
his righteous judgment will be revealed.
SALVATION
believe / saved by faith: John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9
Is being
sorry enough?
2
Corinthians 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to
salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
I've heard
the message, is that enough?
Hebrews
4:2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did;
but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who
heard did not combine it with faith.
Can I
willfully keep on sinning and follow Jesus?
2 Timothy
2:19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with
this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and,
"Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
[Also
Matthew 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew
you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.' (NAS)]
Can I love
others, or other things, more than Jesus?
Matthew
10:37-39 "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is
not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me; (38) and anyone who does not take his cross and
follow me is not worthy of me. (39) Whoever finds his life will lose
it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
****
Believing changes your mind, will & emotions - your desire and
will is to now serve and follow Jesus no matter what.
As a
believer all your SINS ARE BLOTTED OUT. Acts 3:19 // compare to books
of judgement in Revelation 20:11,12
ETERNITY.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DIE?
Judgment
Hebrews
9:27 "... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment (KJV)
Who is Judge?
Jesus.
Acts 10:42 He (Jesus) commanded us to preach to the people and to
testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living
and the dead.
Where do I go...
Saved...
To be with
the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 "... would prefer to be away from
the body and at home with the Lord."
New Heaven
& Earth. (2 Peter 3:13, Revelation 21)
Revelation
21:3-4 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the
dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be
his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. (4)
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death
or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation
22:3-4 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of
the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. (4)
They will see his face...
Unsaved...
A place of
torment. Hell. Luke 16:22-31 (Lazurus was poor man) "The time
came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's
side. The rich man also died and was buried. (23) In hell, where he
was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus
by his side. (24) So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on
me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my
tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' (25) "But Abraham
replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good
things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted
here and you are in agony. (26) And besides all this, between us and
you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from
here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' (27)
"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my
father's house, (28) for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so
that they will not also come to this place of torment.' (29)
"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them
listen to them.' (30) "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if
someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' (31) "He
said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they
will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Lake of
Fire. 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 For he (Jesus) must reign until he has
put all his enemies under his feet. (26) The last enemy to be
destroyed is death.
Revelation
20:14 Then death and Hell (Hades) were thrown into the lake of fire.
The lake of fire is the second death.
Revelation
20:15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he
was thrown into the lake of fire.
WHAT NOW?
2
Corinthians 6:2b ... I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now
is the day of salvation.
Joshua
24:15 ... choose you this day whom ye will serve. (KJV) |
