The list could go on and on but the main thing is: sure,
there are laws on the books to punish some wrongdoers—but not all—so that you
could go your whole life and never even come close to breaking
even one of the government laws
and everyone may think that you’re good….BUT the Lord JESUS says: “I say unto
you that unless your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”—Matt 5:20
God has a higher standard than the laws of the land and you
WILL go TO HELL if you don’t repent and
turn to God that your sins may be blotted out!!
He says:
“... the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of
God” —1 Corinthians 6:9,10
“… it is appointed unto men, once to die but after this the
judgment…” —Hebrews 9:27
“… if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will
become of the ungodly and the sinner?” —1 Peter 4:18
Jesus says, yes fear God—the One who after He has destroyed
the body can destroy the soul in HELL!
You see, God is the
righteous judge and demands
Holiness! The only way for us to get Holiness is to FORSAKE our sins and TURN
TO GOD then He will take away our sins because God sent His Son, Jesus, to BE
the perfect Lamb of God, to make the NECESSARY sacrifice, to take
away the sins of the whole world
so that we can be
RIGHT WITH GOD
RIGHT
NOW!
SO… let's call on the Lord and trust in Christ alone to
save!!!
The book of Acts says: “repent then, and turn, to have your
sins wiped away”
And GOD COMMANDS
ALL MEN EVERYWHERE TO REPENT! (Acts 17:30, Matt 4:17)

(1 Corinthians 15:34)
SANCTIFICATION IN HOLINESS:

shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes
