The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Veil Over Evangelical Thinking, continued
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (I Corinthians 6:9,10)
"But Brother Thompson, if what you say is true then most believers in the United States are not in line for the blessing of the Lord at His appearing."
This precisely is what I am saying and intend to keep on saying in order to save as many of the believers as I can from the wrath of an angry Christ.
If there are ten victorious saints in the United States then these ten will receive the rewards assigned to the overcomer. The Word of God will never, never change. No matter how many of us gang up against God and His Word, nothing will change. If you as a Christian live in the appetites of your flesh you will reap destruction in the Day of Resurrection. If you as a Christian sow to the Spirit of God you will reap eternal life in the Day of Resurrection.
No amount of reasoning will change the Kingdom principle of sowing and reaping. If things don't change among Evangelicals the end is going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If we continue in sin we neither have seen nor known Jesus Christ the Lord. Period!
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. (I John 3:7)
If there were no verse in the Bible other than I John 3:7 we would know that we have been deceived. We would know the current Evangelical doctrine is incorrect.
Let no man deceive you. It is not always the devil who deceives us but often man. It is up to you to not let some person convince you you can ignore the commandments of Christ and His Apostles and still be accepted of the Lord.
The believer who practices righteous behavior, obeying the commandments of Christ and His Apostles, is righteous just as the Lord Jesus is righteous.
Isn't this what it says?
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (I John 3:8)
I John 3:8 does not mean if you commit a sin you no longer are of Christ but of Satan. In terms of the entire Book of First John it is a warning to the Christian who would continue in sin thinking he is being saved "by grace." It is a reaction against Gnosticism, particularly against antinomianism (we are saved by grace apart from works of righteousness).
John is pointing out that we can detect a true Christian by his behavior. If he practices righteousness he is of Christ. If he is continuing in sin he is of the devil because whoever continues to sin is following the ways of the devil.
To be continued.
