Warning….Warning.…Warning….
With all the vigor of Robot on the Lost In Space TV show, we need to take this
moment to warn you of the consequences of failing to obey God. When Robot used
his sensors to detect motion and other actions as dangerous, he lit up like
a robot and announced to everyone
in the party of the possible danger at hand. When souls are dying and leaving
this life unprepared, they are in danger of the judgment of God sending them
to hell. The gospel of Jesus Christ not only offers hope, but carries a stern
warning to those who will reject the
gospel message, and turn their back on God. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21: ”Not
everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he
that does the will of the Father which is in heaven.”
Warning the children of Israel about not obeying God, Moses wrote in Deuteronomy
28:15: “But it shall come about, if you will not obey the Lord
your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which
I charge you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.”
As much as everyone knows the danger of not heeding the warnings, many refuse
to pay attention and do what they want. You might think it stupid when someone
dies at a railroad crossing that is all lit up. You might think how dumb for
a person to eat or drink or smoke something that has a warning label on it.
The truth is plain; if you want to go to heaven when you die, you need to heed
the warnings from God. As we teach people about God’s laws, we try to
explain the necessity of following God’s commands.
In those commands we are commanded to believe that Jesus is
the Son of God and died on the cross for our sins. (Acts 8:37). We must
repent of our sins (Luke 13:3) and we must confess
Jesus as Lord (Matthew 10:32) and we must be baptized for the
remission of
sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16). Then we must remain faithful and continue learning
(2 Peter 3:18). Let us help you on your spiritual journey.
May God bless you in your study of His word.
