Romans 2:6-8 ~ 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, KJV
There are rewards for doing good, and there is chastisement and punishment for all those who do wrong. There is DEATH for those who reject Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Examine yourself and ask yourself HONESTLY; am I living a life that is pleasing to the Lord, a Christ honoring life. Do I exemplify that Christian that others would want to be the same, probably better than I? We can be saved, and live like the devil, telling ourselves I'm saved so I can live the way I want to. Others cannot see Christ in you, and that may be their death warrant. They love you and trust you. You would never do anything to harm them. You would even protect them to from death, if you could! I sincerely made a decision to follow after Christ, and I was in this boat. I was saved I knew it and I took advantage of that fact for more years than I want to remember. I affected my co-workers, friends, family because of a sinful lifestyle! O how I regret putting God on the back burner of my life! BUT ONE DAY, praise the Lord, God called one more time for me to get right and I listened. Now that is the Second-best day of my life!
My husband says many times, the saved are going to heaven, no matter how they live. If they made a heartfelt decision to take Jesus as their Saviour, they are going to heaven. But many in this group are not willing to continue by following after Christ. They have turned to the world for SELF; indulging in sinful activities that will do them no good. Then my husband says, if they are saved and continuing in known sin, their rewards will be given to them here on earth. You will either receive chastisement in hopes you will turn from your wicked ways or you will be punished. This is when Tom says God will take His hand of protection off of that sinful saved person and allow the evil of the world to overtake them in some horrible way.
Doing good won't get you to heaven without Jesus Christ. You must be born again, and to build up rewards in Heaven, do good in the name of Jesus while you are alive. Many people are suffering, and the government is getting more evil. They want every dime you have, give it away before they can take it. It won't get you to heaven, but if you could relieve the suffering of the many all around us and continue to hold God's money, he entrusted to you and you don't do all you can for others, shame on you. God can and will take it all at the snap of His fingers, is it worth it? It is He that will use your wealth if you let Him.
It is He that will keep you and your loved ones out of hell. If you are a Christian, living out of the will of the LORD, all you have to do is call out to Him and He will help you to return fully to his flock and excel over and above what we can think. If you are unsaved but you know that your life must change or you will die and go to a burning hell, come to Jesus.
John 3:16 says it best! "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." WORLD - that is you sinner. He died for you..... put your name right there "For God so loved the ______," He loves you and wants to save you. This world is proving how sinful it is and God's hand is moving on nations all around the glove because of sin. WHOSOEVER - THAT IS YOU AGAIN SINNER! "that _______BELIEVETH" PUT YOUR NAME IN THAT BLANK! He wants to save you, believe that with all your heart, confessing and repenting of the sin that rules your life. There is only room for ONE SAVIOUR. Jesus Christ! Be saved today!
HE CARES! Do You Know HIM? Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen. With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
