A Christian teacher, teaches at a depth that is only as deep as he is from the world!!
Very seldom, will someone preach themselves into Hell! Pick your
teachers wisely, your eternity depends upon it. Every teacher
should be a walking Epistle, if he is not, he is still a student. 11/06/09 Dominic Sola
Stricter
judgment James 3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we
shall receive a stricter judgment.
Don't allow your sin to do this!! Mark 9:42 [
Jesus Warns of Offenses ] “But whoever causes one of these little ones
who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone
were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
Salvation with fear and
trembling Philippians 2:12 [
Light Bearers ] Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not
as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling;
I Never Knew You Matthew 7:21-23 21
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will
say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your
name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your
name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart
from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Cold Hearts Matthew 15:8 ‘ These people draw near
to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
Revelation
3:16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Twisted
Doctrines for sinful hearts! 2 Timothy 4:3 For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but
according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they
will heap up for themselves teachers;
Matthew 25:6-13 This will be too late! 6
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go
out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their
lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil,
for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No,
lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those
who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the
wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to
us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore,
for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Hebrews 6:4-6
4
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to
come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since
they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an
open shame.
Consider this The
above scripture talks about someone who was born again, not merely an
apostate or a back slider, but someone who was touched by God's Grace
and then denounced Jesus; I believe this happens to very few people.
An act of sin does not cause your loss of Salvation. However acts of sin and rebellion will
take away your joy of your Salvation. If one stays in sin there is a loss of their assurance of their salvation; it is
not the same as losing one's salvation. At this point, people begin to think, why bother, I lost my salvation, I cannot
do this. The next thing you know Satan will try to get you to renounce God!!
God's
Grace is wondrous, but don't teach cheap grace. I have counseled many
people who walk in cheap grace and their walk with Jesus is like a
roller coaster!!
We should run as far as we can
from the people mentioned in the above verses!! Why play on the fence
between Heaven and Hell, (spirit of rebellion?), when there are such
green pastures to lay down and rest in. Thank You, Jesus for that
truth!!!
If
you have never asked Jesus, believing in your heart, to be your
Savior, today is your day. Right where you are confess your mistakes,
believe in your heart that Jesus died for all those sins and mistakes
and that He is the Son of God and He died so that you may spend
eternity in Heaven with God!!
