Title: Turn away from such people!
Description A person was invited to a certain 60th birthday party and attended.
Because it is a house where they live well, the food they prepared was all very rare.
In addition to that, all the children were equally knowledgeable and cultured enough to be enviable in this world.
When the feast is ripe and everyone is overjoyed and drunkenly, each of them starts to say one word at a time, but there is controversy.
By the time the feast is over, even the educated-looking children grab each other by the neck and yell at each other.
It's really crap.
Why at the end of the banquet that started with a truly reverent appearance? Does it have to end like this?
When we first believe in Jesus, we make up our minds and resolve as if we would burn our whole body for the sake of the Lord.
However, as time goes on, the heat gradually cools down, and later, Jesus is nowhere to be seen and only his own body is alive and struggles for a body that will decay.
That is why the Apostle Paul also said in the last days, “People will love themselves, love money, be proud, proud, blaspheme, disobedient to their parents, unthankful, unholy, heartless, unresolved, accusers, and accusers. , is unrestrained, ferocious, does not like what is good, sells treacherously, hastily, sleeps, loves pleasures more than loves God.”
Today we have to be on the lookout for this.
Such people seem very plausible from the outside, but when you look inside, they are people who have absolutely no power of godliness.
In other words, they are Christians only on the outside, but on the inside they are no different from the people of the world.
Such people are not only always unable to learn or attain the knowledge of the truth because they are drawn to them by their own greed, but rather they oppose the truth even if it is revealed to them.
We must realize deeply how terrible it is to seek to know God through the mind of the flesh.
That is why you should completely turn away from those who are walking on such a path, give up your desires, and go on the path of truth.
If we do not thoroughly protect ourselves from the pleasures and lusts of the world that come in our thoughts and bodies, I will soon be stained.
If we are to overcome and protect ourselves from these things, hardships must follow.
“Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (verse 12).
The words written by comparing such people are “wicked people and deceivers grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” So in the last days, the Lord also said, “He who does unrighteousness continues to do unrighteousness, and the unclean remains unclean, and the righteous one continues to be defiled. Let them also do righteousness, and let the holy one still be holy” (Revelation 22:11).
This means that the Lord will repay those who continue to not turn from their sins even after giving them an opportunity to repent. Also in the book of Revelation, the Holy Spirit says to the church in Ephesus, “Do your first works, or else I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place” (Revelation 2:5). And in this battle, “to the one who overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). .(Hebrews 2:3) Now we can see that our salvation is much closer than when we first believed. We must never forget the word of the Lord that the day of the Lord will come like a thief. -Amen.-
