“The Grumblers, Faultfinders, and the
Scoffers”
These are
the people who divide you, who follow their own evil desires; they boast about
themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
But dear
friends, remember what the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there
will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who
follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. Jude 1:16-19
We are
living in TROUBLED and UNCERTAIN times.
The people, which Jude referred to here are the SINNERS, those who
FOLLOW their own EVIL, SELFISH DESIRES.
And Jude tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ will one day return with
thousands upon thousands of His Holy Ones to judge everyone and to convict ALL
of them of ALL the UNGODLY ACTS they have committed in their ungodliness, and
of ALL the DEFIANT WORDS ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. (V 15)
Jude reminds
his readers, that the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said that; “in the last
times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires. “ They are the ones who will seek to DIVIDE the
TRUE BELIEVERS, by BOASTING about themselves, and FLATTERING others for their
OWN advantage. I believe that Satan has
planted some of them in our churches, today, to DISRUPT, and to DIVIDE the BODY
of Christ. They are the THORNS among the
ROSES, and the CHAFF or HUSKS among the grains of wheat. Their ONE AGENDA is to DIVIDE and
CONQUER. If we allow it.
We as God’s
Children, and part of the BODY of Christ, must be AWARE of their cunning ways,
and PRAY, STUDY the WORD, OBEY the WORD, ABIDE in God’s LOVE, SHARE IT, LIVE by
His WILL, and FOLLOW His Spirit. When we
do these things, we will be STRONG and able to PERSEVERE the attacks of Satan
and his followers. Think about it, we
are living in the LAST TIMES. Are you READY for the JUDGMENT?
If you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are a follower of your OWN evil
desires, and are headed for JUDGMENT and SENTENCING to an ETERNITY in Hell,
with ALL of its horrors, and NO WAY OF ESCAPE, unless, you TURN AWAY FROM your
SINFUL lifestyle, and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING,
your sins to Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your
HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE, in Heaven, making intercession
for you, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and FOLLOW HIM, and
CEASE being a GRUMBLER, FAULTFINDER, or a SCOFFER, and receive ETERNAL LIFE in
Heaven. Do it NOW, while you still
can. He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
