People want to go to heaven when they
die because they don't want to go to hell, they want to avoid
punishment. They don't want to go to heaven because they love Jesus
and they love God, it is just because they want to avoid pain and
suffering. People are lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
As the apostle Paul also wrote to
Timothy in 2nd Timothy 3:1-5 “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; AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE.“
Unfortunately those are the men that
are sitting in churches today. They are pleasure seekers, churches
are full of professing sinners. They say:”We are all sinners,”
and therefor they have appointed for themselves preachers and
teachers that tickle their ears, that make them feel GOOD AND
INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES TO THEIR LIKING. They are looking for a GOOD
CHURCH with good entertainment, nice seats and “good” doctrine,
but they don't love Jesus. They hate Him, they won't obey Him. They
love their sin. They say:”We are all sinners,” and they are! They
are on their way to hell and they don't even realize it. They quote
scriptures to “prove” to you that they have salvation but they do
nOt love the Savior, they do not know Him and they do not obey Him.
He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you.”
If you want eternal life, all you need
is Jesus Christ and His words, the WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE as they are
also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If you
OBEY those words, REPENT and TURN from serving yourself, and you are
baptized in water, you seek Jesus with all your heart, you OBEY His
words then He will reveal Himself to you, he will give His Holy
spirit to live IN you, to GUIDE you, to TEACH you and to LEAD you
into all truth. His Holy Spirit will also remind you of His words as
written in the gospels. If you OBEY THOSE WORDS you will have eternal
life.
Without Jesus you have NOTHING, no
hopE, no future. If you do not love Him and OBEY Him you will perish.
SEEK Jesus, FIND Him, OBEY Him and STAY with Him until the very, very
end. LOVE Him or you will perish. Are you a lover of God or a lover
of pleasure? Are you seeking pleasure or are you seeking to be
pleasing to Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
