Dear Editor,
This will be my last spiritual sermon for a while. The reason for this and the previous sermons is for people not to be deceived by the amount of counterfeit Christianity presently in St. Maarten and the world.
1 John 3:6 – No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him.
John 4:6-7 – We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us, but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 – This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, But let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.
The following words define God’s character. I quote them from the Christian Fellowship Network and I agree with these statements. “God is supreme with no one to answer to. He is completely independent and can make decisions without anyone else’s agreement or consent. Everything that God says or does is correct word or action for us to follow. He is ultimately ‘correct’ in every situation. God is all-powerful, there is nothing too difficult for him. God knows every detail of the past present, and future. He has perfect recall. He knows our thoughts before we think them. God’s justice is perfectly fair when measured on an eternal scale. God is no respecter of persons. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil will be punished.”
And the following words are from me. You cannot claim to love God but continue to follow the world trend. You cannot love God but do not be obedient to him. You cannot love God but defend or partake in Satan values (abortion, homosexuality and adultery and drunkenness).
Malachi 3:6 – For I am the Lord, I change not.
God does not make deals. God’s 10 Commandments is the deal. If you did not accept Christ as your personal savior and confess your sin and repent to him, when you die you will be taking the broad road to eternal separation from God in the everlasting hellfire where the worm dies not and the fire never quenched. You do not have to believe in it. It is still there and you still going if you do not accept Christ.
The conclusion is, the final decision belongs to God.
