The World's Hatred of God's Authoritative Word!!!

Well, God's word is clear on sin! It has great consequence!! You are still free, in America, to have an opinion! If it is not popular or if it is popular, you will take the heat from those who disagree and praise from those who agree! I will make this statement about sin, for those who are constantly in sin and think it fun, they are not counting the cost! Sin brings death!! As a Christian, I will speak God's word, in love to those who are perishing. I will have to answer for every unspoken word God puts on my heart to speak to the lost. It is true, the world will hate you when you remind people that unrepentant sin brings eternal death! You notice I said unrepentant sin. Every single soul on this planet has sinned at one time or another. But there is a difference in committing a sin, asking for forgiveness and turning from that sin, as compared to willfully staying in sin! The Bible is God's authoritative word! It is the inspired word from God to Christ followers to use for the answers we need to live life according to God's purpose and will. This book, along with prayer, should be our guide through life until death. Evil man will try to compete with his words but God has all power and authority!! As creator God has ultimate control over your eternity.

Gen.6:5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.


Luke 18:13-14 

13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."


John 15:18-19 

18 "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 
19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Ps.36:1-3

1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. 
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. 
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.



I would love to know why so many wicked people ask for tolerance but when the righteous express their freedom in following God's law and sharing the gospel truth with the wicked and perishing, they say we are judging. Eternity is closer than you think wicked man! God will turn you over to a depraved mind and you will be blinded to the truth unless you repent.

James 4:4-8

4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 
5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"? 
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Man is evil, God is light. Man chooses to stay in darkness because he is wicked!!! We all share in this sin nature but some have repented by Divine power through Christ! Be convicted of your sin and ask for mercy! Only Christ, through the cross, can offer deliverance!

Romans 1:28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

1Thess.2:4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.


Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ


2 Peter 2:1 But 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.

This is our eternal hope for the lost....
Jude 1:22-23

22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 
23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

Lord, Through Your mercy alone have we salvation! Forgive us and teach us to forgive! Lord, Your salvation is open to all, for none deserve it! Amen
