Reject Sin

Good Morning!! In this day and time, we have minimized sin to the point, that we' ve become almost numb to its pervasive influence in our lives,...and in our society. Being afraid to speak up in the face of evil, not believing Jesus Christ, worshiping material things, sexual sin, witchcraft, lying and deception, even murder,...these all have become so commonplace in the world, that we run great risk of thinking that God is just as ambivalent toward our wickedness as we are. But here, in this end-of-the-world revelation, we are reminded that "hell-fire and brimstone" sermons, while not always preached the right way, or for the right reasons,...certainly have a clear foundation in Scripture.

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”—Revelation 21:8 (NIV)

 

But the Good news of the gospel, is that the Way that we need, the Truth that we need, the Light that we need is all found in the person of Jesus Christ (John 14:6). He is not only love,...He is truth (John 4:24),...He is light (1 John 1:5),...and He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). If we desire to have fellowship with Him, then, we cannot walk in our own way; we must walk in His light (1 John 1:6).  But no matter how callused we become to personal sin, no matter how well we may be able to justify it to ourselves or others, no matter how much society may condone or excuse it,...God assures us that the end of persistent, unrepentant sin, is an everlasting lake of fire.

 

Do not rest in your sins, and do not trust in your good works, either,...Salvation is only found in Jesus.

 

Holy Spirit, help us to turn away from all, that is not pleasing to our Father. Amen.

 

 "To lead others out of the darkness of sin, let them see your light."
