12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Book of Matthew
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; book of Thessalonians
The soul that sins it shall die
People have many misconceptions especially when you're young and you are already misguided and you find friends that aren't really your friends but you put your faith in them foolishly. You might end up living a deceived life for many years and you experience many fun times and many great things but still you are lost but you don't know it. The heart is abundantly wicked and God is the author of life and that's what he tells us. The heart it's desperately sick and who could know it. The Bible says God searches the reins of the heart in Jeremiah 17:10 as written "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. "
Now while some people experience a glorious life of fame and fortune and some people rich beyond imagination some of these people in the past have committed suicide being great people that weren't true believers while others committed atrocities that are unspeakable like Hitler and other people like him such as Stalin. " Stalin deliberately killed about 6 million, which rise to 9 million if foreseeable deaths arising from policies are taken into account. American historian William D."
There is free will on Earth and God tells us and warns us about the evil one and his angels being cast out down to the Earth and the Bible also tells us let God be true and every man a liar so it is impossible for God to lie. Right now the evil one is the god with the little "g" of this world. He's not going to be cast out for a millennium until Christ comes back but make sure you got the right guy. There will be signs visible in the heavens when this occurs as written in the Bible. But the point is God created everything that you can see and can't see and the things you can't see are eternal and what you can see are temporal. Man has free will just as the devil had free will to deceive Adam and Eve and Adam and Eve had free will to obey the devil instead of God. The devil had free will to put his pride in his own vanity just as many people do today. Today many people are worried about what they look like. A lot of women wear lipstick and paint their face with makeup. However, a lot of people mask their sins . There are a lot of surgeries to fix all kinds of things so that you can be acceptable to human beings. God on the other hand looks at your heart. Do you know him? Have you been deceived and do you really love him with all your heart mind and soul? God gave free will because you can't force a person/soul to obey you. The heart/in spirit has to be willing to obey GOD. So why did I say this? People put on the bad news every day and some people experience it physically abuse and violence. People are in gangs doing extreme evil thinking that nobody knows but God knows everything and that there are consequences. There is nothing unknown that will not be known. Everything you do in secret God knows it's not hidden it's only hidden to ignorance. When a person dies they will face judgment not saved for the free will they had on Earth and how they used it. The Bible says we will be judging angels in the life to come. They are made higher than human beings yet in the life to come we will be judging angels. It also tells us in scripture God didn't spare the angels that sinned. So you see free will has its limits and there will be judgment after this life because the Bible says it's appointed for man to die once and then the judgment. By the way God is true and real . We don't fear God for the sake of fearing God when we know he loves us but love has conditions. For example you see somebody taking drugs but you say nothing and they're high as a kite drunk after drinking alcohol and using their automobile. I remember there was a day in which I was living somewhere and there was a drunk in the house and they took their bottle of whiskey got in their automobile and I warned them they were going to have an accident and they had an accident that day. I did warn them about hell and about the good news gospel and you know what they said when Christ turned the water into wine loves wine which they totally misconstrue what that scripture means. It doesn't mean go ahead and sin. Many are perishing and they're on the Highway to Hell and there is Judgment after this life. You could spend 50 years in the penitentiary for something you did do get out and have to spend eternity in hell. Are you saved and do you know what true salvation is. Do you read the Bible and pray? What is the condition of your heart? Have you repented and turned to a life of righteousness? What is the condition of your heart and are you sure you're not headed for hell for all of eternity?
"The Bible testifies to the need for acquired freedom because no one "is free for obedience and faith till he is freed from sin's dominion." People possess natural freedom but their "voluntary choices" serve sin until they acquire freedom from "sin's dominion."
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
