A. Here are some of the facts!
1. The name of their church is not in the Bible?
But they claim they believe what Bible says! Clear lie but who care!
2. Their salvation message to sinners in the world is Ro.10:9!
Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart you will be saved!
Ro.10:9 intended for saints in the church! Clear lie but who care!
3. Their Sunday worship to God using instrument music!
God want fruits of the lips! Heb.13:15! Clear disobedience but who care!
In the Old Testament time they all may die instantly at use! Lev.10:1-3
B. But they are good people in their life time!
1. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name,
and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? Matt.7:22
2. I am sure in their life time, they were very good people!
They preach in Jesus’ name. They cast out demons in Jesus’ name!
They did many mighty works in Jesus’ name!
3. Namely they are very good people in their life time!
4. But what did Jesus say? Matt.7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: You evil doers depart from me.
People must figure this out for themselves!
5. But to me this is a clear being judged in the last day!
And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. Jn.16:47
He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him:
The word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jn.16:48
6. Jesus continued with these:
For I spoke not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak. Jn.16:49
And I know that his commandment is life eternal:
The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. Jn.16:50
7. Thank God, now I have recording and post on web! All can examine what I preached!
I preach the very words of God. 1 Peter 4:11
8. As this very sermon, I give chapters and verses! Clearly it is what Bible says!
C. Apostle Paul had this problem! Ro.10:1-4
1. Brethren, my heart's desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. Ro.10:1
2. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Ro.10:2
3. For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own,
they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. Ro.10:3
4. For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to everyone that believes. Ro.10:4
5. He took it all the way to Jerusalem had the Apostles and elders to settle for it! Ac.15:1-29
6. But his kinsmen dead set against him as long as they both lived!
7. Please listen to what Jesus said! Jn.16:1-3
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble. Jn.16:1
They shall put you out of the synagogues:
Yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever kill you shall think that he offer service to God. 16:2
And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. Jn.16:3
D. Yes, they persecuted Paul so badly, they killed him! Here was one of his self-defense! Acts 22:3
1. I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city.
2. Under Gamaliel I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous
for God as any of you are today. Ac.22:3
3. Thank God Paul repented and become a faithful servant of Christ!
4. It is pitiful! His own beloved Israelites opposed him all go to hell!
May God bless you and keep you always! Written September 1, 2018.
