It is concerning, the growth of people or groups who reject Christ Jesus with their words, deeds, and attitudes, demonstrating that they do not respect God, and do not even want to hear the word of God. This is a worldwide movement that makes one think how it is possible that human beings, being God’s creation, deny God and want to live however they please.
Now more than ever, it is becoming visible to all who want to see, because there are people who close their eyes, take evil for good, and do not want to see what is right.
People are living in a world that God made, and human beings are going against the will and principles of God, disrespecting God, and forgetting that they must have the fear of God. People even transform their bodies to show that they are not happy with how God created them.
On the other hand, there are groups that kill those who believe in Christ Jesus, and there are even countries nowadays where you cannot enter with a Bible. Be very careful when you travel, because traveling with a Bible can result in losing your Bible or even losing your freedom.
Simply because you believe in the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the One before whom every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that He is Lord.
It seems that the word of God has become man’s enemy, because what you delay in correcting, you tolerate. But we must keep in mind that God does not tolerate sin, God does not tolerate those who do not believe, because it is written: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). “He that believth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36).
In Matthew 25:41 it is written: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
God has given and is giving everyone the same chance; there are no preferred people to enter the kingdom of God: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
(But) rebellion against God, His Word, and His nature causes man to fall into sin, and if there is no repentance, there is no salvation, because how can there be forgiveness of sins if there is no confession?
Entire nations are rejecting Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. And it is written that everyone must give an account to the Lord, and that is individual. But it is also written: “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
God does not want anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth. Christ Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Now more than ever is the time to seek Christ Jesus.
Sincerely, Pastor Marcel Balootje.
