We really have to realize what the Bible says. We cannot look at salvation as a get out of jail free card.
1 Corinthians 6:9 – 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex
with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 5:19-21- 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
Take a look at the list!
My heart is troubled. Not only is the world steeped into these very things, I believe we ourselves always try to look past them or justify them.
Humans are good at grading on the curve. The scriptures are never talking about us, it’s always the people struggling just below us.
It’s nothing to play with. I know tons of people and so do you that drink like fish. Many others are being sexually immoral. Our society is filled with growing same sex relationships. Oh and by the way some of
our most popular books and movies are about witchcraft.
God didn’t give us a free will to choose what’s best for us. He didn’t want robots and He wanted free willed beings that choose to love Him and obey Him. Christ wasn’t thinking about Himself when He died for our sins. God wasn’t thinking about Himself when He sent His only Son to do so.
So why do we always seek what’s best for us instead of what’s best for the Lord and the Kingdom?
It’s called the fall. God doesn’t want us living for our own selfish ambitions. He wants us to live for Him and the Kingdom. What will you choose?
