Do You Know?

Your life is a vapor.James 4:14 in the Bible reads: “For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” God loves you so much that He created you—in His image and for a purpose on His earth. He graciously gifted you with a brain to think, emotions to feel, a human body and senses to experience, and the ability to be in relationships with others. Ultimately, God created you to have an intimate relationship with Him—while on this earth, and for all eternity, in heaven (John 17:3). Eternity, my friend, is forever. There is no escaping it. There is no repentance in the grave, nor is there anything on this earth that is worth going to hell for. Because of Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden, we are all sinners, separated from God. But God, in His holiness and immense love for us, made a way to restore us to Him. God gave His Son Jesus, who knew no sin, to take on our sins on the cross so that we can be made righteous and have a full relationship with God (2 Corinthians 5:21). God is calling you to repent of your sins and come to Him, fully and authentically, through Jesus, His Son. Jesus said: “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:28). “The one who rejects Me and does not receive My words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day” (John 12:48). “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37). In addition to giving us life, God has given all of us free will. We can choose the Truth, the Life, and the Way—which is Jesus—and have everlasting life, or we can choose to live according to our own truth, life, and way, and reap eternal consequences. The Apostle Paul proclaims in Philippians 2:10-11 that one day all will acknowledge the Truth: “Every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” The Holy Scriptures unequivocally state, in a harmonious, unified voice from Genesis to Revelation, that all forms of sexual immorality, encompassing any intimate act outside the sacred union of a man and a woman in marriage, constitute a transgression against God. This includes but is not confined to: pornography, masturbation, voyeurism, exhibitionism, lust, fornication, adultery, incest, rape, bestiality, prostitution, pedophilia, sodomy, polygamy, polyamory, and orgies, as well as same-sex sexual acts. Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 18:7-23, 20:10-21; Deuteronomy 5:18; Matthew 5:27-30, 15:19, 19:9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-13; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:17-19; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:4 Friend, don’t be deceived by the current culture, which is enmity to God.There is absolutely no plan for a same-sex relationship or a same-sex marriage. Nowhere in the Bible is such a provision found. Pursuing this path will keep you from inheriting the Kingdom of God, which is in accordance with more than 100 unified Scriptures across the Bible. In Romans 6:23, Paul states, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus can set you free from the lies and deception from the father of lies, Satan. He did it for me. Moreover, Jesus will give you eternal life. Your part in this free gift of salvation is to surrender your life fully to Jesus. 1 John 1:9 states, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Let the one who created you be the one who defines you. Don’t be led astray by your own feelings, thinking, or heart and what the world defines and celebrates. I pray that you will give your life to Jesus today; don’t wait until it’s too late. Give Jesus your sins, burdens, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, disappointments, and needs. Give Him your heart, mind, and, soul. You will live the abundant life that Jesus promises on this earth and for all eternity (John 10:10). “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool” (Isaiah 1:18).
