This is what it is

God is holy righteous and just.  There is a day that he will judge every human being.  It is called for a man once to die and then the judgement.  He will judge us on the 10 commandments.   The 9th commandment is do not lie.  have you ever told a lie?  Even just one then you are a liar.  The 6th commandment is you shall not murder.  Have you ever murdered?  Did you have an abortion?  Jesus said that if you hate your brother you murdered him in your heart.  Have you every hated anyone?  If you have hated then you are a murder in Gods eyes.  The 7th Commandment is that you shall not commit adultery.   Jesus said if you lust after a women then you have committed adultery with her in your heart.  So if you have lied, lusted and hated God will see you as a liar, guilty of adultery and a murder.  If God judges you by the 10 commandments you will be guilty and go to hell, but God made a way that you would not have to go to hell.  God sent is only son Jesus.  Jesus lived a perfect life.  Jesus never sinned.  He was completely innocent.  Jesus was tried in an unfair way they could not convict him of anything but healing on a day one should not work, bringing dead people back to life and claiming to be God.   They raised him up on the cross and killed him.  Jesus took the full wrath of God for the sins of those that repent and trust in Jesus.  Repenting is confessing your sins and Trusting in Jesus's death.  The confessing of sin is not just a confess so you go to heaven but a confess because you are cut to the heart that you did them.  You have to have a trust in God that leads you to turn away from sin.  Sin is breaking Gods laws.  A saving faith is based on the willingness to submit to the authority of God.    You have to make God Lord of your life.  You have to make him King.  You have to be willing to give up everything  for Jesus.  Do you have that kind of trust in Jesus?  Does Jesus occupy the throne of your heart?  Are you saved from your self will and are you coming to God on your terms or his?  You have to come on is terms.  Does breaking Gods law grieve you?  You need to check yourself and make sure you have a saving faith.

Jesus is my Lord and King and I will follow him.

False Teachers and Their Destruction

2 Peter 2:1-9 (New International Version)


1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them into gloomy dungeons[b] to be held for judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.

The Right Jesus

There is only 1 reason to come to Jesus.

You have to know that you are a sinner and that you deserve hell.  You have to know that if God Judged you then you would be guilty.  The only reason to run to Jesus is that he died on the cross and you want to repent and put your faith in him that he paid the fine for your sins.  If you are coming to Jesus for any other reason then you are not a Christian. 

If you became a Christian to be Happy then you are probably not saved.
If you become  a Christian to be wealthy then you are probably not saved.
If you became a Christian to hang out with people you think are cool then you are probably not saved.
If you became a Christian and your life did not change radically you are probablly not saved.

Do you think you are going to heaven because you are a good person and you believe in God and you have never really hurt anyone?  Let us look and see if you really are a good person.  The word Good is dirived from God.  God is morally perfect.  God requires us to keep the 10 commandments.  Have you kept the 10 commandments?  Have you ever told a lie?  Have you ever stolen anything even something small?  Have you ever hated anyone?  If you hate your brother then you have murdered him in your heart.  Have you ever lusted?  Jesus said if you lust after a women you have commited adultry already in your heart.   The Bible sayes it is called for a man once to die and then the judgment.  If you are judged by the 10 commandments how will you do?  If you broke even 1 then you will be guilty of them all.  The Bible says all liars will have their place in the lake of fire.  no theif no murder and no adulter can enter the kingdom of heaven.  God will judge us thought word and deed but he is rich in mercy and he sent his only son Jesus Christ to live a perfect life and to never break any of the laws.  Jesus an innocent man was raised up on the cross and paid the fine for those that repent and put their faith in Jesus's work on the cross.

The acceptable time for repentance is now.  Please repent and put your trust in Jesus.  God will make you a new person and you will be born again.  A trust in Jesus means that you walk as if you believe what the Bible tells you.  It is repenting daily for what you have done.  It is reading the Bible understanding it and obeying what it says.
