17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
I just did a Blog entitled Dwelleth with you and be in you and what really inspired that blog was thinking about the lottery winners. Recently I heard about a woman winning a huge amount and then I thought about the evil deceptive serpent devil and how he tried to tempt the Lord into worshiping him and that he would give him the kingdoms of the world. Matthew 4:7-10 I thought since we wrestle not against flesh and blood and playing the lottery which is gambling in a sense you could say it's not a sin but it's certainly isn't a holy thing. And then I saw a video of musicians that supposedly sold out their soul. There are some that say you can't sell out your soul because all souls belong to God. We do know that people worship the devil and you must be saved because the way is narrow and the evil one is the god of this world. Then I came across an article about a guy that won one of the biggest lotteries ever and his life became a disaster and he died in 2019. There are horrible things reported in his wealth of materialism and serving them and the story is entitled Lottery winner burns through nearly $50 million before death. Initially this was reported on Fox News. You can gain the world and lose your own soul. What is your life but a vapor here today and gone tomorrow so I plead with you to pick up a Bible read it, start to pray and give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ before you end up losing your soul.
The Bible says by one man sin entered into the world and it also tells us that men hate the light and they cleave to the darkness. God provided a savior and life is in him being Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the father but by him. I want you to read over this carefully.
Proverbs 6:16-19
King James Version
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
So you see by the above being Proverbs 6:16 to 19 is that the way is straight and narrow. I remind you of the rich man that went to hell because he did not feed Lazarus and he could not get out to go warn his brothers. There was a fixed gulf but he didn't heed the warning calls when he was on Earth. What about you? Found in Luke 16:19 to 31
The human heart is abundantly wicked and a man even a woman must be born again by spirit and water just as written in John 3:3. Just like these lottery winners that you may assume that God blessed them but how do you know that they may have not been enticed by the devil having a desire to gain the world in the process as the evidence speaks volumes just like what's reported above. You see Christ was tempted in the desert in repulsive ways and he Satin was told " Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written , Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve .”
You must deny yourselves
Mark. 8 Verses 34 to 38
[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Do you think this man who won the lottery went to heaven?
In my after thoughts and notes: Christ when tempted kept the faith and did not give in and Paul finished the good fight. Its his WILL and his way not our own path/way. The straight narrow gate way. For some it does not comes easy because we don't see the benefit of doing things his way instead our fruitless nonsense ways keep us back. Renew the mind and the power of mind and commitment . The martyrs did not love their own lives to the death. That's commitment . Not evil but firm in faith & trust ! Some people can live over 100 years old be deceived all their lives and never understand until its too late. What are you storing up? Are they treasures for heaven or HELL? Wake up!
