Warning Every Man!

Paul ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. He says, Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. There is not enough terror of the Lord today, either, in the pulpit or in the pew, either among professing Christians or among out-and out sinners who make no profession.

God is indeed holy, just, and good, merciful and kind; but He hates sin. The fact that He gives human beings space to repent, by no means implies that the most terrible judgments are not coming on those- all those-who despise His mercy.

It is an awful thing to trample underfoot the Blood of the Son of God and to ignore the mercy of the Almighty. It is impossible to fully preach the Gospel (Romans 15:19) and to declare all the counsel of God (Acts 20:27) without warning men of judgment to come! Even Felix trembled when Paul reasoned of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come (Acts 24:24-25).

Anyone who goes about lulling Christians into a yet deeper spiritual sleep then they are already in, is not a disciple of Christ- but rather, a wolf in sheep's clothing (Matt 7:15). Jesus says, Why sleep ye? Rise and Pray(Luke 22:46). Jesus tells His own, Take heed to yourselves...watch ye therefore and pray always.

Unless we want to be cut asunder and have our portion appointed with the hypocrites, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, we must heed the warning of our Lord and watch- be alert, be aroused, be awake spiritually, and be... ready for the Second Coming of Jesus!

The least thing God wants us to do is more important than anything else in all the world! It is better to miss anything than to become careless and fail to be ready at the coming of the Lord. In such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man cometh.

Some might say that Jesus only spoke those warnings to His disciples of that day, but Jesus is the Head of the Church. The church is subject unto Christ. He taught His disciples to teach all nations to observe all things whatsoever He had commanded them.

Jesus is the Mediator of the New Testament (New Covenant), under which we now live, as Moses was the mediator of the Old Covenant (Hebrews 8:8,13). Jesus says that when the Holy Spirit is come, He will reprove (convict) the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. There will be conviction of sin when the Holy Spirit is freely moving in the midst.

God does not tell us to go about trying to make things nice and comfortable and pleasant for the people, so that they may enjoy themselves and be self indulgent. He says, Woe to them that are at ease in Zion (Amos 6:1). In other words, sometimes we will have to confront the out-and out sinner and tell them that there are consequences for what they do and we at times must be bold in doing so.

Jesus says, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me (Matt 16:24). Consider what it means to follow Jesus. Was He trying to get all the enjoyment out of life He could? Was He self-indulgent?

Repent ye for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (Matt 3:2). Exhort one another daily (Hebrews 3:13). The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force (Matt 11:12).

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7). Today many people are deceived, actually imagining that they can give some kind of mental assent to to the truth of the Bible, and then live in sin openly and flagrantly and expect to get to Heaven when they die!

The rich man in Hell was told: Son remember that thou in thy lifetime recievedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented (Luke 16:25).

Unless you repent of your sins, you will certainly reap what you sow! Let us quit living for self and for sin now and repent, and cry unto God before it is too late for forgiveness, in Jesus' Name. Jesus says, Him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out (John 6:37)

This commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings (Mal 2:1-2)
