They sold their soul to the devil

The devil rewards those who worship him very well.  He was not joking when he tempted Jesus in the desert.  I read from Matthew 4:8-9 “Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if You fall down and worship me." The devil has caught many people like that, they have sold their souls to satan and he has given them, temporary riches and fame but in the end they are destroyed.  They will end up in eternal damnation with satan.  He has caught many people, ensnared them.  The wages of sin is death, dear friends. It is only for a very short time that you enjoy the benefits of sin, immorality and disobedience to God and then you pay for eternity for bowing down and worshipping satan.
We were very amazed when we saw the young girls living in the apartments next to us, just hardly leaving school and becoming pregnant out of wedlock, deliberately.  We felt sorry for them, but we did not realize that they were deliberately doing so because they would receive benefits from the state for being mothers out of wedlock.  They could sit at home and be immoral.  There are many people in that situation.  Dear friend, if you want to follow Jesus Christ, you must OBEY HIM, but if the devil has ensnared you and you are deriving benefit from being sinful and immoral you will have to pay a price.  You will have to reject the benefits of sin, the benefits of being immoral even if it is accepted by society. There are many young men who want to wed the mother of their children, but then she will lose her benefits and therefore they are living together in sin.  It might be acceptable to this world, but it is not acceptable to God.  There are many people who are drawing benefits because they have lied, fraudulent benefits, yet they call themselves Christians.  Dear friend, not one single lie will go into the Kingdom of Heaven.  If we want to have eternal life, we will pay a price.  We will have to forego the benefits of sin, the benefits of immorality and the benefits of this world.  If we want eternal life, there is a price to be paid to follow Jesus Christ.
Your Church may approve and the world may approve of the way that you are living but Jesus will not approve.  Jesus has one standard friend.  This is not judgment, this is a warning.  Jesus came to set us free and if we obey Him, He will give us the power to break free from the bondage of sin.  But if we are not willing to OBEY HIM, we will always be in bondage and in the end we will pay for our sins and our immorality.  Dear friend, Jesus can set you free, IF you want to be set free but if you choose to enjoy the benefits of sin, in the end you will pay for it with your life, eternal damnation.  The choice is yours dear friend.  Jesus can set you free, if you follow Him.  If you call on Him, if you trust Him, if you obey Him, but if you PREFER the bondage and the benefits of SIN you will pay for it in eternal damnation.  May Jesus bless you.
