Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Seems that everywhere we turn today there is another churchgoing person who is indulging in immorality. It used to be that if one was commiting fornication or adultery that most people would hide the fact. Today, churchgoing folk are “coming out of the closet” all over the place and proclaiming their rights to indulge AND to continue the fellowship with the saints. They expect to be embraced and continue in the worship team, and they expect to continue ministry amongst the saints.
Such deception, and all done in the light too. For someone like myself, who loves to bring the love of Christ to the unbeliever, it is hard to explain these behaviours to the world. But explain it to the world I must. My heart grieves when my Masters name is smeared before the world. I know that Satan wants to smear Jesus Christ name and so deceive and turn many away from having salvation through the blood of Jesus.
If you are not a Christ follower the truth is that God does not accept the sin of sexual immorality, being fornication or adultery. God sent His son Jesus to die on the cross and shed His blood for the sins of all humanity. For God did not send his Son to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved. God loves you and you are special to Him, so much so that Jesus paid with His own blood so that you can have thorough and sure forgiveness of sin today and go into eternity with Him. You will have peace with God and peace through your whole being and you will become a new creature in Christ.
If you are reading this and you say that you ARE a follower of Jesus and you openly practice sexual immorality you are smearing the name of Christ. You need to get the fear of God in your life. Please don’t use the name of Jesus right along with your immoral sex life. My heart breaks as I write this. God’s heart breaks for you because you are deceived. The bible clearly commands us to abstain from any kind of sexual immorality. Furthermore, the bible commands us to keep away from all “appearances of evil”. This means that we are not to look ANYWHERE near practicing immorality!
God loves you and does not want you to pay the price for your sin, for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. Call out to God and ask Him to open your eyes and give you a heart of deep repentance. Jesus says that Satan comes to steal to kill and to destroy. Satan is destroying your life, right before your eyes. Your peace is taken away. Choose life, and that more abundantly. Jesus did not come into the world to condemn the world. Condemn means to judge essentially. God is in the business of saving you from the ravages of sin. His mercies are new every morning. But does God love those in the snare of sexual immorality? Oh absolutely! He loves them without reserve, but someone has to pay the price for the sin. Either you will pay the price, or you can have your sins covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Your life may end tonight, and what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
As Jesus often says throughout the gospels……… “YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN, GO AND SIN NO MORE”.
