Many people who are living in this world, talking about everyone and not just to the Christians but non Christians too, live their lives the way they want and if things don’t work out, they tend to pout and cry like a baby, due to the fact they did’t get their way in life, how many are you like that? Or may be you are a person who is living in sin and can’t handle the Truth when it is spoken to you and you tend to get mad about it and you raise up a fuss about it. If you can’t handle correction now, how are you going to handle rejection on judgment day when you meet your creator on that day? Christians are instructed to be bold to those who are living in sin and to correct them and to rebuke, in hopes to bring them back to repentance and to try to get them to change their life styles before it consumes them for all eternity, there will be no repentance and salvation with God then. We are to live for God and not against God. If the sins of the world has overtaken you because you have decided to follow the worldly crowd, you are rebelling against God, that is a straight shot to hell. Rebelling against God equals rejection from and by God. Who are you living for? Man, means sin? or God, meaning for God and in righteousness? Romans 1 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life[a] was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power[b] by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from[c] faith for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. 7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul’s Longing to Visit Rome 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you. 11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters,[d] that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among
the other Gentiles. 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[e] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[f] God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for
their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Jeremiah 17 17 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool, inscribed with a flint point, on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars. 2 Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles[a] beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.3 My mountain in the land and your[b] wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. 4 Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever.” 5This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord 6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes.They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. 8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” 9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” 11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools. 12 A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary. 13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame.Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water. 14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. 15 They keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it now be fulfilled!” 16 I have not run away from being your shepherd; you know I have not desired the day of despair. What passes my lips is open before you. 17 Do not be a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster. 18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, but keep me from shame; let them be terrified, but keep me from terror. Bring on them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction. This attains to many of you, if you are claiming to be a Christian and if you are living worldly, like cursing in every other word you speak, smoking, drinking, killing, and so on, all these things is detestable to God and does not glorify God. How can you live in the likeness of God and be worldly at the same time? It cannot happen, you must deny yourselves, meaning admitting that you are a sinner and your are weak, then you need to turn away from the sins and start living your life for him and not for the flesh, meaning for the world. I have heard people in passing, not just on facebook, but on the streets, people of the world are saying that no one can be perfect as God is perfect. I have seen postings on facebook that reads this; Dear God, I know I am not perfect. But I want to thank You for loving me any way. To me, that sounds like they are admitting that they are sinners and they are thanking God for loving them any way, that makes it sound like that the sinner is giving up and are quitting on trying to live their lives for God. That is what it sounds like to me. We are created in the image of God, to live like God, to be like God, to love like God, to speak like God. If you can’t see the pattern here, we are to be and do everything like God. God would not smoke, so why do you? God would not drink and get drunk, why would you? I am going to pause right here for a second to explain something real quick, I can see some of you saying, well, Jesus drank wine and turned water into wine, why can’t I? See, the problem with your thinking is that, they didn’t have alcohol like we have today, another fact is when Jesus turned water into wine, it was pure grape juice. I have the facts from research, so if you wish to argue about it, feel free to get a hold of me and I will be gladly to email you the true Holy Bible doctrine about it, I am heavily in the Word of God. Back to about no one is perfect, we are instructed to be perfect, just as He is perfect. How can this be when we are born into sin? The problem is, everyone is blinded by satan’s darkness and everyone is hidden from the Truth of God. If you are a new born Christian and you are living right and keeping the temple clean, meaning the body that you are living in, keeping it free from smoking, drinking, and all the bad worldly things that defiles the body, that is just to name a few, not doing such things and talking with a clean tongue, meaning clean words in your speech, studying God’s Word and living solely for God, which was God’s intentions from the beginning of time and if you get baptized by water immersion, that is what God has instructed us to do, is how a person becomes perfect. If the Christian sins, then they are no longer maid perfect, they must repent and turn away from sin period. The key words here is to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and believe, Confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, repent from all of your sins, be baptized for the remission of sins. Once you have been baptized by water, at the completion, you then will be baptized by the Holy Spirit and not before, too many people in this world docent understand that part, that is what the free gift of the Holy Spirit is and eternal life waiting in the heavens for them. In all that you do in life, from here on out, live right in the sight of God, your sins will find you out and destroy you. Many of you won’t do a 180 degree turn and walk away from them, you then will be in eternal danger. This life that you are living in, is the second chance and God is watching to see if you are going to be fit for heaven or hell. This life we live here on earth is a spiritual test, a test of faith. If you fail this test in God’s sight, then consider the consequences of eternal damnation. Its written in the Word of God. Many of you are playing with fire in your life, meaning the devil, or messing with the devils schemes, turn from your worldly wicked schemes and start living right in the sight of God, He is watching, He see’s and hears everything that you are doing from the spiritual realms, He already knows who is going to make it to heaven and who is not. Are you living right in His sight?. Titus 3 Saved in Order to Do Good 3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. 3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. 9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. Final Remarks 12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. 15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Jesus Christ is the light that we must follow and live by, if you want to be saved and to make it to heaven. The worldly people who are warped in sin, will not make it if they don’t follow the steps, in order to be saved. The warped ones will continue to live for the flesh and burn in hell. You don’t have too, you have the chance to get right with God and follow through these steps and you can have that assurance of eternal life. What does one have to do in order to be forgiven and saved of his sins? He must
(1) Hear the Gospel of Christ;
(2) Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God;
(3) Repent of all his past sins;
(4) Confess that Christ is God’s Son;
(5) Be baptized for the remission of sins.
You then will gain eternal Salvation in Heaven and be baptized by the Holy Spirit at the completion of being immersed. You then will be heaven bound. Lets close in prayer.
