LOVE FOR THE LOST

Brothers & sisters in Christ Jesus, we know according to God's word that judgment day is coming soon and there will be a multitude of us too large to count that will enter heaven through the narrow gate having a real relationship with Jesus Christ (in Holy-spirit and in truth), looking forward to a place prepared for us where creation is made perfect and where sorrow and tears will be replaced with continuous gladness and joy. While we who have the spirit of Christ have already tasted of these things and look forward to that great day, we must never forget why Christ still has us here as salt of the earth to reach the lost! The lost are a far greater the multitude of those that unwittingly reject Christ, are deceived by this world, blinded by religion, or possessed by unclean spirits, lovers of self rather then lovers of God. In fact the word of God tells us that Hell had to be expanded to contain the far greater multitude of souls that decided to take the wide and easy path that leads to eternal destruction where there will be an eternal fire with brimstone, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth day and night for eternity, and where the worms that consume the soul dies-not!“If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one foot than to be thrown into hell with two feet. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out. Mark 9:45-48 ”

This judgment is what a Holy and Righteous God who created all things and paid the price for our sin on the cross will require and demand, despite our arguments. Our choice of either redemption, freedom, and eternal life through walking and knowing Jesus Christ, making us righteous and holy and able to bare fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is the evidence of our conversion. Or Self Idolatry, using this life and everything that God created as the doormat to self worship believing in our own redemption and deceptively creative lies, hoping that an all-knowing God will buy it somehow. St James made it perfectly clear “faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless? James 2:17” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18
