Romans 3:10-11… As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.” (NKJV)
Yesterday I wrote about the only way a sinner could be forgiven of their lifetime of sins, which if not forgiven by God will lead to eternal life in hell; separated from God for an eternity…
Every human born into this world is a sinner…Romans 3:23… The Apostle Paul gives us a piece of scripture explaining this natural sin nature all people are born with, in…Romans 3:10-18… Here is the link from which the opening scripture is taken from… http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rom3:10-18&version=NKJV
The following scripture, was the last verse in this list of attributes belonging to an un-redeemed sinner headed for hell, in…Romans 3:18… “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (NKJV)
This reminds me of conversations I have had with at least 2 different people, both with the same thoughts about heaven and hell… I was told by both of them, that hell is what we are going through with our trials here on earth… Neither believed that every word in the Bible was truth… If they understood what God clearly reveals to us through His inerrant Word; they would not only believe in both heaven and hell…they would have a reverent fear of God… They would be in awe about God’s power; as well as possessing a fear for the impending wrath of God which will fall on those who don’t understand and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ before they die… (I wrote about this yesterday)…
Here is the link for yesterdays writing on becoming a Christian in God’s eyes… “The Only Answer to God’s Impending Wrath”… https://godsmanforever.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/gods-group-thoughts-for-10292012-the-answer-to-gods-impending-wrath/
Both of these people believe they are Christians… Both believe they are going to heaven (if it exists), because they have been living lives as a reasonably good person… I am here to tell you, as a person who also falsely believed I was a Christian for 52 years, that both of these people are being deceived and blinded by the father of all lies, the devil…
John 8:44… You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. (NKJV)
Anyone who is not a Christian in God’s eyes, but believes in their mind that they are…is being blinded by Satan…
2 Corinthians 4:4… whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (NKJV)
It is only by establishing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, by understanding an obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ…that sins will be forgiven by God… By God’s grace, through saving faith alone in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), Christ’s righteousness is imputed by God into the newly redeemed Christian; and their lifetime of sins is cleansed by the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross…2 Corinthians 5:21…
Heavenly Father, I pray that You would un-blind those who falsely believe that they are Christians, and are not yet one of Your children… I pray Father, that You would drawn any un-redeemed sinner reading these words closer to Yourself (John 6:44); and that they would not sleep easy, until they seek to understand what the gospel of Your Son Jesus Christ is all about… I pray Lord, that hearts would be regenerated by You; and that lives would be changed forever…in Jesus’ most precious name and for His sake…Amen…
