Yet They Did Not Obey

[Christsfreeservant]

And the Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them. For I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt, even to this day, warning persistently, saying, “Listen to My voice.” Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked, each one, in the stubbornness of his evil heart; therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.’”​

​

Then the Lord said to me, “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” Therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold I am bringing disaster on them which they will not be able to escape; though they will cry to Me, yet I will not listen to them.” (Jeremiah 11:6-11 NASB1995)​

We live in very troubled times. Lies and liars abound everywhere. Not many and not much can be trusted to be of the truth and to tell the truth any more. There is so much deception in the world around us, and sadly within many of the gatherings of what are called “churches,” too. So many have altered and diluted the message of the gospel of our salvation to make it more acceptable to the ungodly of the world and to human flesh, and to be less offensive to the world they are trying to attract to their gatherings.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing are numerous. They are the malicious, the morally unclean, deceivers, manipulators, opportunists, the untrustworthy, liars, egocentrics, and fakes who fake their Christianity in order to deceive the people with their lies, and who are rapidly multiplying. They take the Scriptures out of their correct biblical context, and they twist them to say what is not truth, and they post them on the internet and include them in their sermons to turn people away from genuine biblical salvation.

But the Lord has some of us Christians, who are believing and following after the truth of the gospel, out in the public and on the internet teaching the truth of the gospel and refuting the lies of Satan which are coming against the truth of the gospel and which are leading many people to hell on the promise of heaven when they die. And we are teaching what Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught as the gospel in its correct biblical context. And we are calling people to die to sin and to obey God and his commands.

Now, from all physical appearance, it appears that many are not listening, and that the majority appear to be rejecting the truth of the gospel in favor of the lie which is permeating the gospel message and the church. For the liars have been very successful in convincing the many that the truth is a lie and that the lie is the truth. For the lie teaches that you can profess faith in Jesus Christ and now all your sins are forgiven and heaven is guaranteed you when you die, while obedience to God is discouraged or made optional.

And God has been very patient, and he has given all who profess his name plenty of time to repent of their sins and to now commit their lives to obeying him, in practice, and to putting sin to death in their lives daily, by the Spirit, and to walk in holiness and in righteousness in the power of God. But it appears that the masses have continued to believe that their sins will not keep them from salvation and eternal life with God. But God says if sin is our practice, and not obedience, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

And if we read the book of Revelation, beginning with the letters to the churches, warning 5 out of 7 of them of their need to repent of their sins or to face the judgment of God, and this was regarding not just then, but the last days before the return of Christ, then we should realize that God means business when he says we are to repent of (turn from, die to) our sins and obey God and his commands or we will not have eternal life with God, but we will be cast into hell. So, please know and believe the truth, not the lies.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
