CHRISTIANS ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

CHRISTIANS ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE


‘Know this, in the last days stressful times will come, for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankfull, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof. Turn away from these people … Yes, all who desire to live Godly lives in Jesus will suffer persecution but evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived’ (2 Timothy 3:1 to 13).

These verses are a very accurate description of the situation we find ourselves in today. Fifty years ago, people would line up at the door of a church waiting for the service to start. The streets were safe. Violent crime was extremely rare. Suicide bombers did not exist. From there the human race has degenerated to a world of selfishness, violence and Godlessness. The increasing unbelief in God the Father, Jesus and creation, is causing the degeneration of human character and that in turn causes stress for God-fearing Christians. What is more devastating is the fact Apostle Paul was writing about religious people who ‘had a form of Godliness but denied the power’. They were people who had faith but not necessarily Christian faith. There are many false ‘Christian’ religions in the world and all their adherents have a form of religion but deny the Truth of the Gospel. They are impostors. We are told to turn away from such people. These religious people refuse to obey the Word of God so they can change to be like Jesus, as we are all to aspire to. The people referred to in these passages never learn the Truth. They choose to follow after false prophets, false teachings, false teachers and they turn away from the truth of the Gospel and follow after ‘fables’ or false religions.

FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD

 FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD We need to share our faith in God and in the truth of the Bible with the strength of our firm personal faith.  If we try to preach from ourselves, it will not achieve the desired result, which is the salvation of the person we are preaching to.  Salvation, or going to heaven is referred to as ‘entering His rest’.  Some people who have heard the Scriptural Gospel will definitely enter heaven but some will be rejected because of their own disobedience.

DIFFERING OPINIONS BETWEEN GODLY AND UNGODLY PEOPLE

Image
 DIFFERING OPINIONS BETWEEN GODLY AND UNGODLY PEOPLE There are so many differences of opinion and behaviour it is impossible to list every difference. We hope the reader can understand the differences written here and can understand, ungodly people think and behave differently for two reasons.  One reason is they do not know God and therefore walk in their own form of self-righteousness. They are spiritually lost and need salvation.  They are spiritually deaf so they cannot listen to God’s Word.  The other reason they oppose Godly people is they are walking in the footsteps of their father, the devil.  Jesus said, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you cannot hear My Word. Read more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com

WE CANNOT HIDE FROM GOD

Image
 WE CANNOT HIDE FROM GOD We cannot go anywhere, where God cannot see us.  There is nowhere to hide from the eyes of God.  We cannot hide our sins from God either.  We need to face God when we sin, confess our sin to Him and allow His forgiveness to refresh us.  ‘I acknowledged my sin to You.  I did not hide my iniquity.  I said, I will confess my transgressions to God and You forgave the iniquity of my sin’  (Psalm 32:5).
