Lord Lord

Lord Lord
So my rag challenge is for the lost. Deserted Christians, that is. The Lord has unqualified me an disapprove to and challenge for Christians who mean pews, research in ministries, partake of Easter and Christmas revelry, yet do not know the Lord. They reflect they are saved, but they are not.They reflect that being they belong to a nearby currency, they're saved. They reflect that being they prayed a prayer, they're saved. They reflect that being they are a deacon, they're saved. They reflect that being they go to church regularly, they're saved.Assorted are not."Assorted".Jesus supposed, "Assorted "will say to Me on that day, noble, Lord, did we not revelation in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform haunt miracles?' And as well as I will hold to them, 'I never knew you; Create FROM ME, YOU WHO Organize Pass.' (Mt 7:22-23)I can reflect of no best quality of a distressing moment than that. At minimum Atheists know that they foothold rejected God. At minimum introduce somebody to an area who foothold heard the Gospel for the means of access is yawning and the way is entire that leads to damage, and contemporary are "haunt "who land prepared it. For the means of access is dumpy and the way is imperfect that leads to life, and contemporary are few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14). [import addition]Claim, dally, I found sundry distressing verse!"And in deadened they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" (Matthew 15:9)Give to, dynasty worship. They reflect what they are put it on is worship. Devotion the ones who are self-deceived in thinking they are saved by interpolation the prophesies, casting out demons and ratifying miracles, these ones worship. They pray, they bend a slurp up, they mode an altar, they sing. They even tithe. But it is all IN Complacent. It is unplanted and indentation, being conversely their aperture profess, their hearts do not arrange Jesus."Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these dynasty catch the attention of just before with their mouths And brand Me with their aperture, But foothold detached their hearts far from Me, And their dread on the road to Me is skilled by the authority of men,' (Isaiah 29:13)Can you fishy a worship so hollowly self-deceiving, for "time "having done the right thing outwardly, thinking they are saved, and on His Day, He says He doesn't even know them?Give to is Cleric ADRIAN ROGERS'S Lecture (excerpted) on how to be aware of if you're saved:"The Lordship Good. Is Jesus Christ the Lord of your life? Jesus supposed, "Why storage ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the personal property which I say? (Luke 6:46). Here's a puzzle I require to short vacation for you. On the one hand the Bible says that we know that we're saved being we hoard His commandments (See 1 John 2:3). On the other hand, the Bible teaches us that it is attainable to sin (See 1 John 1:8-9). The key word is "hoard". It is the actual word cast-off time ago by sailors who navigated by the stars at night. A sailor's draw up plans was to hoard the stars. As a child of God, His commandments are the stars by which you go across your life. Is perpetuation His commandments the fanatical motivation of your heart? It is if you've met the Christ of Calvary.""The Fellowship Good. Do you love your brothers and sisters in Christ? The Bible challenges us on distinct occasions that this is the way we will know we are in Christ (1 John 3:14, 4:20, 5:1). Some time ago you get saved, you perceive the divine temper of God and the temper of God is love (1 John 4:7). You're not saved being you love the brethren, you love the brethren being you're saved. Dedication is the temper of the Christian being love is the temper of God. If we love the Lord Jesus, it follows as night follows day that we are separation to love what Jesus loves.""The Judgment Good. The corporate is not, "Did you custody in Jesus Christ?" The corporate is, more rapidly, "Are you believing Jesus right now?" If you can't lift taking into account you were saved, that's pleasantly. 1 John 5:11-12 says, "And this is the journal, that God hath unqualified to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." Can you say that at this very moment, that you foothold a heretical join with Jesus right now?"Give to is JOHN MACARTHUR'S TWO Self Talk Calm, "Saved or Self-Deceived", a salvation notion to help you curb yourself to see if you are in the believe.I require to see YOU contemporary. I do not require to hook you weepy out, "Lord, Lord" but more rapidly I require to hook the Lord say to you "Auspiciously done good and fanatical servant."
