Hoodwinked

Today we were told by the doctors that my grandfather had 2-3 weeks to live. The day before we were looking into where he would live afterward and planning his recovery. Nothing changed in the last day and we all feel as if they knew better the day before that. He has been in the hospital for 2 weeks. They gave us a false hope. I do not want to do the same thing to other people.

The Bible says that It is appointed a man once to die and then the Judgement. Have no false hope God is going to judge you thought word and deed. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death. Death will arrest you, the law will condemn you and the Judge God that created the Universe will sentence you. The Bible tells us that he will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. How will you do? Have you ever taken Gods name in vain. Have you ever used Jesus name as a cuss word? If you have done that the Bible says you are guilty. No thief no murder and no adultery can enter the kingdom of heaven. Have you ever stolen anything? It does not matter the size or its value. If you have stolen something you are a thief and can not enter the kingdom of heaven. You must be thinking well I did not murder anyone. Well in 1 John 3:15 we are told that if you hate your brother you are a murder. Have you hated anyone? If you have then you have murdered them in your heart? The next one on the list is Adultery. Many may think well I am not even married I could not have done this one. Matthew 5:28 tells us if you lust after a person then you have committed adultery already in your heart with that person. How are you going to do on the day of Judgement. I do not want you to have false hope. I want to make sure you understand what is going to happen. The Bible tells us that all liars will have their place in the lake of fire. Have you ever said something that was not true? It does not matter about the color of the lie. If you told one you are a liar. In the book of James is tells us that if you break one commandment you are guilty of all of them. Gods standard is the 10 commandments. I just went through them with you. God is going to Judge you do not be fooled. He is not corrupt. God is rich in mercy and perfectly just. The only way that can be is if your punishment is paid for. God tells us that our good deeds are like dirty rages to him. If we pay our own fine it will be hell for eternity.

God can only forgive you if God pays your fine. This is how he can do that. God sent is only son Jesus Christ born of a virgin and he lived a perfect life. He always honored his parents. He never broke any of the commandments. He got up on the cross and died on the cross for those that repent and trust in him. God died on the cross and his name is Jesus of Nazareth. He was buried and on the 3rd day he was raised from the dead. Death could not hold him. He was seen by over 500 people. God commands everyone everywhere to repent and trust the Gospel. He tells us to confess and forsake our sins and trust that Jesus is fully God and fully man and died on the cross for those that trust in him. Please trust in him today. If you stand before the Creator of the Universe in your sins you are going to get justice and go to hell but if you stand in front of the Judge in Jesus then you will get Mercy and I am here today begging you to repent and pick mercy.

Now I am Innocent of you blood I did not hoodwink you I told you how it is going to happen. Please think about what you have heard today.
