Default Turn or Burn

This article is not a hate message, but rather one wrote with great love.

Are you lost? Are you without the Blood of Christ?

I'm talking to those that don't know Jesus as their own personal Saviour, Muslims, Catholics, Hindus, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, drunks, liars, thieves, adulterers, the proud, murderers, etc...

Revelation 21:8 "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."

If you're lost, when you die you'll go straight to Hell and burn forever. If God wouldn't look at His own son when he bore our sins, then why do you think God will let you in Heaven with your sins and unbelief?

Acts 2:31 "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption."

When you get in Hell, you won't be able to get out. You'll be there for eternity until you're casted into the Lake of Fire. You'll scream in pain forever and wish you accepted Jesus as your own personal Saviour, but it will be too late.

Luke 16:24 "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."

Have you ever gone without water for a long time? Well in Hell there is no water at all. While you're in torment, you'll be wishing you had one drop of water just to cool your tongue for a split second, but you will never have another drink of water and you will never feel love again.

Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."


Why are you denying a man that died for you? He wants to save you from Hell, but unless you take His free gift, He can't save you. What is keeping you from Christ? Your friends, family, science, religion? Who do you fear the most? God or man. If you fear man now and not God, you'll live in fear and pain after you die for the rest of eternity.

Revelation 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

After Hell, you'll be casted into the Lake of Fire to burn again.

Revelation 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Do you want to escape torment? If so accept Jesus now, so your name will be forever written in the Book of Life. Don't wait any longer, you may not have another hour to live.

Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

Face it, you're going to die. Science can't save you. Your body is going to get old and die and that is if you're lucky. God can take you out at anytime. You can die in a car accident, in your sleep, ...The point is, you're going to die and whether you like it or not you're going to face God on judgment day and you will believe in God then, but it will be too late.

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

If you're reading this you have been given the opportunity to learn how to escape this horrible place. There are people in Hell that would give anything, if they had the opportunity to escape their torment. You need to understand that God does not want you to go to Hell, no matter what any Calvinist tells you. The Bible says God does not want ANY to perish and the Bible means what it says.

Matthew 25:41 "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:"

You may ask, why did God create Hell. Read the above verse. Hell is not for you. Hell is for the devil and his angels that went against God. They went against God because of their pride. Will you let your pride take you to Hell?

If you want to be saved you must first realize that you're a sinner and repent of your sins. Because of your sins, God cannot let you into Heaven. The Bible says God is a just and Holy God, so the only way you can escape Hell is to accept the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. Jesus Christ was the perfect and only sacrifice for your sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried and rose again on the third day.

John 19:30 "..It is finished.."

The payment is finished. All you have to do is accept the free gift of God.

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ today before it is too late.

Romans 10
9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."


In Conclusion...

TURN OR BURN!!!

God Bless Brother Cody

I have a question though,

you said

"If you want to be saved you must first realize that you're a sinner and repent of your sins. Because of your sins, God cannot let you into Heaven. The Bible says God is a just and Holy God, so the only way you can escape Hell is to accept the Blood of Jesus Christ."

Do you see a contradiction here?

To be saved you must

1. Repent of your sins

but then you say

2. The only thing that saves you is the blood of Christ.

So what saves? Repentance of sins (an action we take), or Jesus blood (something he did)?

Brother, I would like to propose a rewording of that paragraph above

If you want to be saved you must first realize that you're a sinner. Because of your sins, God cannot let you into Heaven. The Bible says God is a just and Holy God, so the only way you can escape Hell is to accept the payment Jesus Christ made with His blood. You must repent from trusting your own works of righteousness, or your own thoughts and ideas about eternity, and trust what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross. Turn from your ways, your works, to Jesus.

A man cannot repent of sins until he is born again. He cannot stop sinning or angering God without the new birth. But a man has free will to turn to God in faith, and ask God to give him that life. Praise Jesus

Looks like you have no problem with understanding repentance, and tossing the yoke of bondage of lordship salvation Luke.

I would "paraphrase"
Quote:
or your own thoughts and ideas about eternity
to:
"your own thoughts and ideas about SIN"

What can wash away our sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

If you want to be saved you must first realize that you're a sinner because if you're not a sinner, Christ didn't die for you. Because of your sins, God cannot let you into Heaven. The Bible says God is a just and Holy God, so the only way you can escape Hell is to accept the Blood of Jesus Christ.


I changed it to that.

You're right, brother Luke. We are saved by the Blood alone. I didn't noticed I typed it like that. We do have to realize that we're a sinner, but repenting does not save us, only Faith. Thanks for the correction, brother.

God Bless

that's right Luke,

beleif onthe finished work of Christ's shed blood is all it really takes. repentance generally takes place a little at a time theire after. for I have yet to me a beleiver who ever repented of every sin they had commited when they beleived. but I have met many a godly Christian struggle for years with some sins before they rested in Christ and let the Holy Ghost take control. they are still sinners but are sinning less.

Cody1611,

Do not be dismayed by the rebukes of the antinomians. They want to change the gospel into a cheap thing that has no power to make a man more like Christ Jesus.

Know that your message and the fruits from it are in my prayers.

a brother in Christ Jesus,
Stephen
