Lovers of Pleasure - Haters of God


Most believers have no desire for godliness. They don't love Jesus, they just want salvation, but they want to go after the lusts of the flesh and please themselves. They are lovers of pleasure, not lovers of God. If we do not love Jesus, we nave no place in the Kingdom of God, then we will not have eternal life.
Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, LOVERS OF PLEASURE RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD; 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE.”
Most believers who call themselves Christians are like that. If you fellowship with “Christians” who are like that, then Paul says AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE, because they are not followers of Jesus. That is why people cannot stop sinning, they don't want to, they want to be part of the world. They are not interested in the Kingdom of God!
Friendship with the world is enmity with God. Are you one of these “Christians”? Or do you truly love and follow Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
