Warning Scriptures a bible study

 

Here I am making up a study of various warnings and cautions in the bible to warn and enlighten people of the various traps that the devil and our flesh want us to fall into. I do this in love, hoping some may be convicted by the Holy Spirit and repent of anything He might be bringing to mind out of love for I do care for people. This study is not complete but it is aimed at delivering a strong warning message to everyone. I am starting with scripture to encourage confession and repentance of sins from 1 John 1:

(1 John 1:8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

 

(1 John 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

(1 John 1:10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

 

These three verses are a motive for doing that, for God will forgive our wrongdoing if we confess it to us. Also here are some verses in Ezekiel chapter 3 that give the message that if we fail to warn people God will hold us accountable for our failure to do so

(Ezekiel 3:17)  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

 

(Ezekiel 3:18)  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

 

(Ezekiel 3:19)  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

 

(Ezekiel 3:20)  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

 

(Ezekiel 3:21)  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

 

These verses make it clear we will be accountable for whether we warn people, and this is repeated again later on in the same book, too. I am now going on to some proverbs to give warning and encourage repentance for things. Here is a powerful message in Proverbs chapter 1 encouraging repentance and stating the consequences for not repenting:

(Proverbs 1:20)  Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

 

(Proverbs 1:21)  She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

 

(Proverbs 1:22)  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

 

(Proverbs 1:23)  Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

 

(Proverbs 1:24)  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

 

(Proverbs 1:25)  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

 

(Proverbs 1:26)  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

 

(Proverbs 1:27)  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

 

(Proverbs 1:28)  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

 

(Proverbs 1:29)  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

 

(Proverbs 1:30)  They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

 

(Proverbs 1:31)  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

 

(Proverbs 1:32)  For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

 

(Proverbs 1:33)  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

 

Here are a few other warning messages in the proverbs

(Proverbs 14:12)  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

(Proverbs 16:25)  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

Note the repletion and take heed, as repletion stresses a point made

(Proverbs 21:16)  The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

 

(Proverbs 27:20)  Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

 

Now here is Isaiah chapter 5 which while written many years ago to warn Israel and Judah the warnings apply today, too for many of the things I see today described:

(Isaiah 5:1)  Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

 

(Isaiah 5:2)  And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

 

(Isaiah 5:3)  And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

 

(Isaiah 5:4)  What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

 

(Isaiah 5:5)  And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

 

(Isaiah 5:6)  And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

 

(Isaiah 5:7)  For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

 

(Isaiah 5:8)  Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

 

(Isaiah 5:9)  In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

 

(Isaiah 5:10)  Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

 

(Isaiah 5:11)  Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

 

(Isaiah 5:12)  And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

 

(Isaiah 5:13)  Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

 

(Isaiah 5:14)  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

 

(Isaiah 5:15)  And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

 

(Isaiah 5:16)  But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

 

(Isaiah 5:17)  Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

 

(Isaiah 5:18)  Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

 

(Isaiah 5:19)  That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

 

(Isaiah 5:20)  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

 

(Isaiah 5:21)  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

 

(Isaiah 5:22)  Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

 

(Isaiah 5:23)  Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

 

(Isaiah 5:24)  Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

 

(Isaiah 5:25)  Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

 

(Isaiah 5:26)  And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

 

(Isaiah 5:27)  None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

 

(Isaiah 5:28)  Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

 

(Isaiah 5:29)  Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

 

(Isaiah 5:30)  And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

 

Ezekiel chapter 18 is a powerful warning chapter encouraging repentance for that is what God desires, for the wicked to turn from his evil and not die but also warns the righteous to not turn from doing right and thus fall away

(Ezekiel 18:1)  The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

 

(Ezekiel 18:2)  What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?

 

(Ezekiel 18:3)  As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

 

(Ezekiel 18:4)  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

 

(Ezekiel 18:5)  But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

 

(Ezekiel 18:6)  And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

 

(Ezekiel 18:7)  And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

 

(Ezekiel 18:8)  He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

 

(Ezekiel 18:9)  Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

 

(Ezekiel 18:10)  If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,

 

(Ezekiel 18:11)  And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

 

(Ezekiel 18:12)  Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

 

(Ezekiel 18:13)  Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

 

(Ezekiel 18:14)  Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

 

(Ezekiel 18:15)  That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,

 

(Ezekiel 18:16)  Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,

 

(Ezekiel 18:17)  That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

 

(Ezekiel 18:18)  As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.

 

(Ezekiel 18:19)  Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

 

(Ezekiel 18:20)  The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

 

(Ezekiel 18:21)  But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

 

(Ezekiel 18:22)  All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

 

(Ezekiel 18:23)  Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

 

(Ezekiel 18:24)  But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

 

(Ezekiel 18:25)  Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

 

(Ezekiel 18:26)  When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

 

(Ezekiel 18:27)  Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

 

(Ezekiel 18:28)  Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

 

(Ezekiel 18:29)  Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?

 

(Ezekiel 18:30)  Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

 

(Ezekiel 18:31)  Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

 

(Ezekiel 18:32)  For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

 

This passage of the first twenty verses in Ezekiel chapter 33 reinforce the messages in Ezekiel chapter 3 and 18 to warn people of their wrongs or be held accountable and also to turn from evil and not fall away from doing good. Again this repetition is powerful to strengthen the message

(Ezekiel 33:1)  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

(Ezekiel 33:2)  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

 

(Ezekiel 33:3)  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

 

(Ezekiel 33:4)  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

 

(Ezekiel 33:5)  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

 

(Ezekiel 33:6)  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

 

(Ezekiel 33:7)  So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

 

(Ezekiel 33:8)  When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

 

(Ezekiel 33:9)  Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

 

(Ezekiel 33:10)  Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

 

(Ezekiel 33:11)  Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

 

(Ezekiel 33:12)  Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

 

(Ezekiel 33:13)  When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

 

(Ezekiel 33:14)  Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

 

(Ezekiel 33:15)  If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

 

(Ezekiel 33:16)  None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

 

(Ezekiel 33:17)  Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

 

(Ezekiel 33:18)  When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

 

(Ezekiel 33:19)  But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

 

(Ezekiel 33:20)  Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

 

These conditions and warnings but also advice of what good to do and not do are also included in Hosea chapter 4 which is powerful and having warnings aimed to the priests and now pastors for the bible warnings still apply today

(Hosea 4:1)  Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

 

(Hosea 4:2)  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

 

(Hosea 4:3)  Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

 

(Hosea 4:4)  Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

 

(Hosea 4:5)  Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

 

(Hosea 4:6)  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

 

(Hosea 4:7)  As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

 

(Hosea 4:8)  They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

 

(Hosea 4:9)  And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

 

(Hosea 4:10)  For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

 

(Hosea 4:11)  Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

 

(Hosea 4:12)  My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

 

(Hosea 4:13)  They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

 

(Hosea 4:14)  I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

 

(Hosea 4:15)  Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

 

(Hosea 4:16)  For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

 

(Hosea 4:17)  Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

 

(Hosea 4:18)  Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

 

(Hosea 4:19)  The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

 

There are powerful warnings in the New Testament which reinforce the messages given in the Old Testament. Here Jesus is speaking in Matthew 7 warning against hypocrisy, that the path is narrow, to be sure to do His Father’s will and to follow His words

(Matthew 7:1)  Judge not, that ye be not judged.

 

(Matthew 7:2)  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

 

(Matthew 7:3)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

 

(Matthew 7:4)  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

 

(Matthew 7:5)  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

 

(Matthew 7:6)  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

 

(Matthew 7:7)  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

 

(Matthew 7:8)  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 

(Matthew 7:9)  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

 

(Matthew 7:10)  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

 

(Matthew 7:11)  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

 

(Matthew 7:12)  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

 

(Matthew 7:13)  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:

 

(Matthew 7:14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

(Matthew 7:15)  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

 

(Matthew 7:16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

 

(Matthew 7:17)  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

 

(Matthew 7:18)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

 

(Matthew 7:19)  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

 

(Matthew 7:20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

 

(Matthew 7:21)  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.

 

(Matthew 7:22)  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?

 

(Matthew 7:23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 

(Matthew 7:24)  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

 

(Matthew 7:25)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

 

(Matthew 7:26)  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

 

(Matthew 7:27)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

 

In this passage Jesus warns us that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is never forgivable, how a divided house cannot stand, how we speak what is in our heart and we are accountable for everything we speak especially idle words

(Matthew 12:22)  Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

 

(Matthew 12:23)  And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

 

(Matthew 12:24)  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

 

(Matthew 12:25)  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

 

(Matthew 12:26)  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

 

(Matthew 12:27)  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

 

(Matthew 12:28)  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

 

(Matthew 12:29)  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

 

(Matthew 12:30)  He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

 

(Matthew 12:31)  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

 

(Matthew 12:32)  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

 

(Matthew 12:33)  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

 

(Matthew 12:34)  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

 

(Matthew 12:35)  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

 

(Matthew 12:36)  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

 

(Matthew 12:37)  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

 

Here in Luke chapter 13 Jesus warns all will perish who don’t repent but also promises mercy for those who do repent

(Luke 13:1)  There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

 

(Luke 13:2)  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

 

(Luke 13:3)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

(Luke 13:4)  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

 

(Luke 13:5)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

(Luke 13:6)  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

 

(Luke 13:7)  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

 

(Luke 13:8)  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

 

(Luke 13:9)  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

 

Here is a warning in Romans chapters 1 and 2 to not be ashamed of the gospel and how some who are wise can fall away and become reprobate. In chapter 2 Paul also warns against any hypocrisy and judgment and how all are equal before God who has no partiality

(Romans 1:13)  Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

 

(Romans 1:14)  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

 

(Romans 1:15)  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

 

(Romans 1:16)  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

 

(Romans 1:17)  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

(Romans 1:18)  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

 

(Romans 1:19)  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

 

(Romans 1:20)  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

 

(Romans 1:21)  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

 

(Romans 1:22)  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

 

(Romans 1:23)  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

 

(Romans 1:24)  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 

(Romans 1:25)  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

 

(Romans 1:26)  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 

(Romans 1:27)  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 

(Romans 1:28)  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

 

(Romans 1:29)  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

 

(Romans 1:30)  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

 

(Romans 1:31)  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

 

(Romans 1:32)  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

(Romans 2:1)  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

 

(Romans 2:2)  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

 

(Romans 2:3)  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

 

(Romans 2:4)  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 

(Romans 2:5)  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

 

(Romans 2:6)  Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

 

(Romans 2:7)  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

 

(Romans 2:8)  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

 

(Romans 2:9)  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

 

(Romans 2:10)  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

 

(Romans 2:11)  For there is no respect of persons with God.

 

(Romans 2:12)  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

 

In 1 Corinthians chapter 6 Paul reproves the Corinthians for suing one another and for stealing and defrauding but also warns that evil doers won’t inherit the kingdom of God

(1 Corinthians 6:6)  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

 

(1 Corinthians 6:7)  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

 

(1 Corinthians 6:8)  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

 

(1 Corinthians 6:9)  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

 

(1 Corinthians 6:10)  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

(1 Corinthians 6:11)  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

 

(1 Corinthians 6:12)  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

 

In Galatians 5 and 6 Paul warns that fleshly works and those who practice them won’t inherit the kingdom of God and also we reap what we sow, too whether it be to the flesh or the spirit.

(Galatians 5:13)  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

 

(Galatians 5:14)  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

(Galatians 5:15)  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

 

(Galatians 5:16)  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

(Galatians 5:17)  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 

(Galatians 5:18)  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

 

(Galatians 5:19)  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

 

(Galatians 5:20)  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

 

(Galatians 5:21)  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

(Galatians 5:22)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

(Galatians 5:23)  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

(Galatians 5:24)  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

(Galatians 5:25)  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 

(Galatians 5:26)  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

 

(Galatians 6:1)  Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

 

(Galatians 6:2)  Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

 

(Galatians 6:3)  For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

 

(Galatians 6:4)  But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

 

(Galatians 6:5)  For every man shall bear his own burden.

 

(Galatians 6:6)  Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

 

(Galatians 6:7)  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

(Galatians 6:8)  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

 

(Galatians 6:9)  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

 

(Galatians 6:10)  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 

In 1 Timothy 6 Paul warns against bad teachings and false doctrines but also against the love of money

(1 Timothy  6:3)  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

 

(1 Timothy 6:4)  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

 

(1 Timothy 6:5)  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

 

(1 Timothy 6:6)  But godliness with contentment is great gain.

 

(1 Timothy 6:7)  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

 

(1 Timothy 6:8)  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

 

(1 Timothy 6:9)  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

 

(1 Timothy 6:10)  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

 

2 Timothy 3 states warningly how people will be in the end of days and that we are indeed to avoid such people who are evil in many ways

(2 Timothy 3:1)  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

 

(2 Timothy 3:2)  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 

(2 Timothy 3:3)  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 

(2 Timothy 3:4)  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

 

(2 Timothy 3:5)  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 

(2 Timothy 3:6)  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

 

(2 Timothy 3:7)  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

(2 Timothy 3:8)  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

 

(2 Timothy 3:9)  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

 

2 Timothy 4 warns to be ready in and out of season to preach as the time is coming (it is here now) where people will endure bad teaching having itching ears

(2 Timothy 4:1)  I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

 

(2 Timothy 4:2)  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

 

(2 Timothy 4:3)  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 

(2 Timothy 4:4)  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

(2 Timothy 4:5)  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

 

Hebrews 6 is a chapter that is for repentance and warns strongly against falling away as such who do fall away from the gift are not able to be renewed to repentance as they crucify Jesus again to themselves

(Hebrews 6:1)  Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

 

(Hebrews 6:2)  Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

 

(Hebrews 6:3)  And this will we do, if God permit.

 

(Hebrews 6:4)  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

 

(Hebrews 6:5)  And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

 

(Hebrews 6:6)  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

 

(Hebrews 6:7)  For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

 

(Hebrews 6:8)  But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

 

Hebrews chapter 10 also warns against falling away by sinning deliberately and willfully stating that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God

(Hebrews 10:22)  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

 

(Hebrews 10:23)  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

(Hebrews 10:24)  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

 

(Hebrews 10:25)  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

 

(Hebrews 10:26)  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

 

(Hebrews 10:27)  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

 

(Hebrews 10:28)  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

 

(Hebrews 10:29)  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

 

(Hebrews 10:30)  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

 

(Hebrews 10:31)  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

 

Hebrews chapter 12 is filled with excellent warnings and cautions to run the race be receptive the Lord’s chastisement, making paths straight and be ready to be shaken for God is indeed a consuming fire

(Hebrews 12:1)  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

 

(Hebrews 12:2)  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

(Hebrews 12:3)  For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

 

(Hebrews 12:4)  Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

 

(Hebrews 12:5)  And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

 

(Hebrews 12:6)  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

 

(Hebrews 12:7)  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

 

(Hebrews 12:8)  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

 

(Hebrews 12:9)  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

 

(Hebrews 12:10)  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

 

(Hebrews 12:11)  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

 

(Hebrews 12:12)  Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

 

(Hebrews 12:13)  And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

 

(Hebrews 12:14)  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

 

(Hebrews 12:15)  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

 

(Hebrews 12:16)  Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

 

(Hebrews 12:17)  For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

 

(Hebrews 12:18)  For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

 

(Hebrews 12:19)  And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

 

(Hebrews 12:20)  (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

 

(Hebrews 12:21)  And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

 

(Hebrews 12:22)  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

 

(Hebrews 12:23)  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

 

(Hebrews 12:24)  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

 

(Hebrews 12:25)  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

 

(Hebrews 12:26)  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

 

(Hebrews 12:27)  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

 

(Hebrews 12:28)  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

 

(Hebrews 12:29)  For our God is a consuming fire.

 

I will conclude this teaching with some passages from Revelation. The first is to not lose Jesus as your first love, as the church of Ephesus had and repent if you did

(Revelation 2:1)  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

 

(Revelation 2:2)  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

 

(Revelation 2:3)  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

 

(Revelation 2:4)  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

 

(Revelation 2:5)  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

 

(Revelation 2:6)  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

 

(Revelation 2:7)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 

In Revelation chapter 3 the following warning is given to the church at Laodicea who were lukewarm and this passage also warns us to not be lukewarm

(Revelation 3:14)  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

 

(Revelation 3:15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

 

(Revelation 3:16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

 

(Revelation 3:17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

 

(Revelation 3:18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

 

(Revelation 3:19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 

(Revelation 3:21)  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

(Revelation 3:22)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

Next the warning to those who fear and other evils, for they will end up in the lake of fire unless they repent of their misdeeds

(Revelation 21:5)  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

 

(Revelation 21:6)  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

 

(Revelation 21:7)  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

 

(Revelation 21:8)  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

The next to final passage is that of the great white throne judgment, for all the unbelievers. They will all be thrown into the lake of fire. The sure way to avoid that fate is to be found in the Lamb’s book of life

(Revelation 20:11)  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

 

(Revelation 20:12)  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

 

(Revelation 20:13)  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

 

(Revelation 20:14)  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

 

(Revelation 20:15)  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

Do you know Jesus and have confessed Him as your personal Lord and savior, if so you have little to worry about. Just keep close to Him and repent anytime you might mess up which happens to all of us, I know I have to repent almost daily, and I do for I prize my relationship with Jesus. I am now repeating the scripture promises in 1 John that state that God will forgive confesses sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness

(1 John 1:8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

 

(1 John 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

(1 John 1:10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

 

Jesus loves you so much so he willingly and lovingly went to the cross to die for all of our sins and atoning for the sins that all have committed and made a path open for us to have that open relationship with God once again that sins had cut off. God really loves us and covets this love relationship with us. There is nothing that can compare with this love relationship with God or even for that matter come remotely close. I am now concluding this bible study with a prayer which you can invite Jesus in your heart to begin this wonderful love relationship to which nothing can compare. Please pray this prayer with me

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

 

God bless you and yours
