There are many blind in this world and they go about their lives like reprobates. Such people are like a broken skipping record just living a deceived life thinking they know Christ or they know God but they are left desolate. They feel emotions of religion but they don't know that they are blind, naked and their lives are exposed as God searches the reins/hearts of human beings. I remember a long time ago knowing a guy who was in some cult pyramid and a guy showed up in one of these expensive cars at his home gathering anticipating the riches and how he tried to bring other people into it. He invested tons of money into this. I believe it was his life savings and he lost all of it and my best friend warned him over and over and over. But he didn't listen. Just like religious people who have been taught religion instead of relationship when they die if they haven't repented and do not see the light they will most likely lose their own soul. They're trying to enter in by the wrong door but they themselves have been taught another gospel, etc, whereas wolves in sheeps clothing have deceived them for their own purposes. They have been conditioned to think what they follow is the truth when it is not the truth.
Now when you get into true biblical Christianity which is also altered from the Christianity of the first century in places such as Judea they had something called Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes. People who prided themselves on keeping the law. So when Apostle Paul came along in the New Testament this was changed. Today we are not under law. We are saved by grace through faith and not by works. But there are reasons God took the law and set it aside. Even at the time of the Apostles they thought when they were preaching to gentiles that they shouldn't push the Jewish requirements on them such as perhaps the Sabbath or circumcision. Now I wasn't going to get into a huge topic on this but I just had a point to make. The point is just because the law was taken down doesn't give us the right to trample the blood of Christ underfoot and to abuse grace as has been done in modern Christianity for sure. Christ is the end of the law. He fulfilled it for us. So here is how one chap sums it up.
"The law was given to do, to tighten the screws on the sins of men, that in anguish, they might cry out for a deliverer.
The law was given to help us see that we were trapped in a prison, and the only way out of the prison is the grace available through the promise by faith."
"In a similar way, the law was also to protect Israel, to keep them from sinning and abandoning God. This was the real purpose of the whole Mosaic law! The law was added to prepare God’s people of the coming the Messiah."
The Bible verse that tells us we are not under the law is in the Book of Romans.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
In the book of Ephesians it tells us how we are saved and I will remind you that John 3:16 tells us it's the free gift of God. You can't earn it by keeping religious dogma.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Despite all that I wrote and explained above the way is straight and narrow and Jesus Christ of Nazareth warned people that the way is narrow. Most people are perishing and they don't even know it. They might keep religious ceremonies and say they are spiritual and have no understanding also have no relationship with the true Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God calls them reprobates in scripture. Deprived Minds. People that practice that which is not real making to none affect the word of God. And even in scripture God warns about the synagogue of Satan. He warns about the depths of Satan that the world is ignorant too. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but many people are spiritually dead, blind and don't see this at all. Ephesians 6:12
In the Book of Revelation we learn about what Christ had against certain churches. One was lukewarm and another became rich and empty and forgot the first love. One remained faithful and took the persecution. But he still had things against some of them and he warned them to return to their first love. The same with certain towns that Jesus Christ of Nazareth did many wonderful works and preaching the coming kingdom of God where they did not ad heed to the message he ended up cursing the entire towns. So he was not the Jesus I love you alone as he even kept some of his greatest criticism-isms for the religious elite. At the same time he showed mercy and love for healing people and for even that samaritan woman at Jacob's Well. To wrap this up today despite that many are made blind by the god of this world even amongst true believers we can get off track easily and think because the law has been set aside that we could just add all sorts of things to our Christian walk. The apostles did not do it. Christ never did that and he is the head of the church. He is the head of the body of Christ. And of course today we have something called a prosperity gospel. We have people that have been come multi-rich off religion or off the gospel. Many true Christians might come to understand that they have made the house of God into a den of thieves today and that is exactly what I've been shown over and over. You know Apostle Paul did say that a minister of God should know how to rule his house. He's talking about a minister that's married and has a family I believe. As Christians many of us evangelize the word of God but we have some Christians who are actually called to Ministry and some of them are street preachers and their excellent at teaching. We have different types of preachers and they all have a purpose within the body. My point here is we have to remain loyal to Jesus Christ our Lord and savior which is not easy. It's a very difficult road. I am often reminded in my spirit to be patient in tribulation. One of the most astonishing things that Jesus Christ of Nazareth liked when a person had faith. A person's faith made them whole in some circumstances according to Christ. This is when he healed people. God's word tells us the world is deceived and it's exactly the truth. The prophecies in scripture alone are astonishing as they are precise and there's no other book on the face of the planet as the written inspired word of God the Bible. You know some people do good things even though within their heart they are evil little devils. They don't think of themselves as that though but that's what they are. Just because you have a job and perhaps you may have work for 30 years and be lost headed straight for the pit of Hell does not mean you are in right standing with the living God or even on the right path.
God's word tells us to honor our mother and father on Earth so our days will be long on Earth. Exodus 20:12 Jesus Christ of Nazareth told us to occupy until he comes. He also taught the same thing John the Baptist taught a tree that does not bear good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. What are corrupt fruits? Fornication, malice, gossip, manipulation, backbiters and so on.. People “ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good ,”
" Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God ."
It is indeed a narrow and straight way. Mathew 7:14
