“See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.” (Hebrews 12:25 NASB1995)
Without going into all the history behind this, this is a
warning from God to all of us, especially to us who profess faith in Jesus
Christ. We are to see to it that we do not refuse God who is speaking to us
through his word, and through the Holy Spirit, and through his servants and
witnesses who are obeying him in teaching the truth of the gospel of our
salvation and not the lies which are spreading so rapidly, which are teaching a
false and diluted and altered gospel message absent of repentance and obedience
to God.
And we can read more on this subject in 1 Corinthians
10:1-22. There we read that God was not pleased with most of the Israelites who
were with Moses in the wilderness, and so he had them put to death, and they
did not get to enter into his eternal rest because of their disobedience, which
God regarded as unbelief (see Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13). For
many of them were involved in idolatry, adultery, sexual immorality, drunkenness,
and revelry, in putting Christ to the test and in grumbling against God.
And these things happened, and they were written down for us
as examples to us so that we will not crave evil things as they did with the
same result. For just as they were put to death for their disobedience and for
their sinful rebellion against God, and for their refusal to obey him, and they
did not get to enter into God’s eternal rest, the same will happen to us if we
do what they did. For the New Testament Scriptures teach that if we walk in
sin, and not in obedience to God, that we will not have eternal life with God.
So, if we think that we are in right standing with God, just
because we made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, then we need to think
again. For the Scriptures do not support that. They teach that, by faith in
Jesus, we must die to sin and walk (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord, in
practice, and no longer in sin, or we don’t have salvation from sin. For we don’t
know God, we are not in fellowship with God, and we do not have eternal life
with God if sin is what we practice and not obedience to our Lord and to his
commands.
So, please take this to heart, and please study the
Scriptures in their fulness in their correct biblical context, and not out of
context. For many liars are spreading lies by teaching the Scriptures out of
context and twisting them to say what they do not say, in truth. And they are
leading the masses astray and to hell, on the promise of heaven with God, while
they pacify them in their sins and they refuse to confront them with the gospel
which teaches we must die to sin and obey God if we want to have eternal life
with God.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
Bombs are bursting.
Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is
gently calling
You to follow Him in
all ways.
Trust Him with your
life today.
Make Him your Lord
and your Savior.
Turn from your sin.
Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you
of your sin;
Cleanse your heart,
made new within.
Men betraying: Our
trust fraying.
On our knees to God
we’re praying,
Seeking God to give
us answers
That are only found
in Him.
God is sovereign
over all things.
Nothing from His
mind escaping.
He has all things
under His command,
And will work all
for good.
Jesus Christ is
gently calling
You to follow Him in
all ways.
Men deceiving: We’re
believing
In our Lord, and
interceding
For our nation and
its people
To obey their God
today.
He is our hope for
our future.
For our wounds He
offers suture.
He is all we need
for this life.
Trust Him with your
life today.
