For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. (Hebrews 2:2,3—NIV)

According to the above passage the punishment of the disobedient Christian will be greater than the punishment of the disobedient Israelite under the Law of Moses! This is because the salvation that has been given to us is greater than salvation under the Law of Moses.

When the Israelites sinned they were chastised with utmost severity. Yet we Christians can sin on the right hand and the left without being punished. Furthermore we never will hear one word of rebuke when we stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.

How long will this farce continue? Human nature being what it is, the believers during an emotional service may fall to their knees and confess their sins. But after a month or more has passed and they keep being informed that they are saved by grace and are about to be "raptured" into Heaven, they most assuredly will return to their old ways.

This is why the churches in America are backslidden.

The Lord Jesus would say to the evangelical spirit, or angel: "Judgment is at hand. Repent of your love of the world, your love of sin, and your love of your own will and ways. Turn to Me in humility and offer your body a living sacrifice to God.

"Days of great revival are at hand, and also days of hideous moral depravity. People in their love for their sensual pleasures will become far more debased than animals in their physical orgies, practicing every lustful perversion. Honor among men will be a thing of the past as treachery becomes common.

"Satan and his followers in the spirit realm will be increasingly manifest.

"Yet I have a holy remnant that I have reserved for Myself. They will work tremendous miracles in the coming hour, powerful signs and wonders that will enable all people everywhere to understand—if they so choose—the Person and will of the God of the earth.

"Whoever will repent and serve Me will be saved, but many will fall because of the abundance of sin and lawlessness. It is the final hour. It is time to take the Kingdom. He who overcomes the darkness through My Person and Virtue will escape being harmed spiritually and will stand before Me in glory. He shall reign with Me throughout the ages to come.

"The time has arrived. There no longer shall be delay. The hands of the clock approach midnight. Arise, daughter of Zion, and put on your robes of righteousness, the righteous behavior that proceeds from My Person. The evil on the earth will be without precedent but My Presence and power will continue to be greater.

"Fear nothing the enemy can do. Put your trust in Me. The Kingdom Age is upon you.

"He who continues to dwell in Me shall inherit all things. My blessing and protection shall be on him and his family as he remains faithful. He shall endure throughout the endless ages of eternity. My promise is to those who truly love Me. You have My oath." (from Working Out Our Salvation)
