GOD WILL JUDGE US

Ezek. 18:30-32 “Therefore, I will judge each of you. O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign LORD. Turn from your sins! Don’t let them destroy you! Put all your rebellion behind you, and get for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel? I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign LORD. Turn back and live!” NLT

      The Lord does not want anyone to miss out on heaven. He wants all to turn to Him and change their ways. He wants everyone to not sin. It breaks His heart knowing that most people will not listen to Him. Most people don’t want to change their ways. They enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin and refuse to give them up.

      The wages of sin is separation from God. Sin pulls us away from God and prevents God from drawing near to us. No one can get rid of sin on their own. Jesus alone has the ability to get rid of sin and change our ways. All who die in their sin will spend eternity in hell. It’s not what God wants for you, but it is what He will do to you if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior and let Him change your ways.

      Sin is appealing and pleasurable for the moment, but it destroys the soul.  It keeps us away from God and God away from us.  It is cancer to the soul and the more it is allowed to stay in the heart, the more hardened the heart becomes against God. 

      God longs to have fellowship with us.  Don’t let sin get in your way.  Don’t let it get a foothold in your soul.  Deal with it right away and you will have peace with God and enjoy His presence with you both now and for all eternity.
