Are You Deceived?
People think they're saved, or hope they're saved, because they believe Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who died for their sins, but yet they are NOT saved! Why? Doesn't the Bible say just believe? Yes, but true saving belief will show fruits and requires repentance.
You think you can lust after girls, and talk all this foul nasty sex talk: this stuff's coming from your heart, and shows you ain't saved. Don't believe that, or think it's too harsh? What did Jesus say?
Matthew 15:18-20,
"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man."
If your thoughts haven't changed, and your language hasn't changed, and you're still getting off on foul dirty jokes and sexual innuendos, you're still going to hell.
Ephesians 4:29-32
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Eph. 5:3-8
"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light."
What's it say? Filthiness, foolish talking, and jesting. Prior to that it mentions corrupt communication out of your mouth, anger, clamour, and evil speaking. That includes talking about some girls body parts in a lustful way, or guys body parts, or homo joking. It's filthiness; it's coming from the heart, which is wicked and deceitful, and scripture says those who do such things won't inherit the kingdom of Christ and God. That means those who do this stuff are headed to hell, plain and simple.
It's not just the act of fornication and adultery and same sex that's sin: it's the mere thought of it in any lustful or lewd way. The practice of these things in any way, including inappropriate content, is a sign of an unregenerate, lost soul. God has called you to holiness, and without holiness no one shall see the Lord. (Heb 12:14)
Colossians 3:8-9, "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds..."
You know Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death? This is serious stuff man: not to be fooled around with, as this:
Matthew 5:28, "I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
Take this following scripture at face value. It means what it says and says what it means:
Matthew 7:13-23,
" Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
So you see it's possible to "believe" in Jesus in a way, and not be saved. James says even the devils believe and they tremble. If you're to be saved you need saving faith and saving belief - and that's a faith and belief that manifests itself in actions: you will repent and turn from your sins; you should want nothing to do with sin any longer. Cry out to God for mercy and forgiveness, because if you're doing any of these things (And I did them all before myself), you're on that broad way that leads to destruction, and you seriously need to get on the narrow way that leads unto life.
