“You might not go to Jail, but...”

  • You might not go to jail for reading, writing, buying or selling playboy magazines and the like, BUT you might go to HELL! (Matt 18:6)

  • You might not go to jail for looking at a woman and lusting after her, BUT you might go to HELL! (Matt 15:27)

  • You might not go to jail for hating your neighbor in your heart, letting the hungry go unfed, leaving the cold and naked exposed and unclothed, ignoring the prisoners or the needs of the sick and dying, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You might not go to jail for sitting around watching movies and sports, doing nothing, being lazy, eating ‘til you’re overstuffed and overflowing, impulse shopping and living for yourself and pleasure, BUT you might go to HELL! (Matt 7:13)

  • You might not go to jail for drinking ‘til you’re drunk and no one wants to be around you, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You might not go to jail for being greedy, having a bad attitude or lazy on your job, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You might not go to jail for showing up EVERY Sunday for church, wearing cologne, a suit and tie and looking like a good person but slandering, gossiping, and being a busybody on the side, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You might not go to jail for being totally yielded to self and Satan, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You won’t go to jail for calling Jesus Christ someone other than He is, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You won’t go to jail for not having faith in God, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You won’t go to jail for resisting or quenching the Holy Spirit of God, BUT you might go to HELL!

  • You certainly won’t go to jail for ignoring the Resurrection facts and the Gospel…………get the picture???!

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, 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)

 

 

TRUE LOVE:
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor [hate] what is evil. Cling to what is good.
(Rom 12:9)

ETERNAL LIFE:
"Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
(John 6:27)

TO BE PERFECT IS TO BE A CHRISTIAN:
 "Be perfect therefore, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."
(Matthew 5:48)

STOP SINNING:
"Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame."
(1 Corinthians 15:34)

SANCTIFICATION IN HOLINESS:
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
 The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble."
(Prov 4:18-19)

NOT BY FAITH ALONE:
"You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone."
(James 2:24)

ETERNAL SECURITY:
"Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.."
(2 Peter 1:10-11)
