“The Recompense of an Unrepentant
Heart”
But because
of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath
against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when His Righteous Judgment will
be revealed. God “will repay each
person according to what they have done.”
(Ps. 62:12) To those who by
persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give
eternal life. But for those who are
self-seeking, and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and
anger. There will be trouble and distress
for every human being who does evil…
Romans 2:5-9a
Our God is a
HOLY, RIGHTEOUS Judge, who JUDGES mankind according to the condition of one’s
HEART. The person who continues in their
sinful lifestyle, and who has a STUBBORN and UNREPENTANT HEART, and CONTINUALLY
REJECTS God’s gift of SALVATION, through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and CONTINUES
to carry out their EVIL, WICKED DEEDS, and REJECTS the TRUTH to FOLLOW evil,
they are the ones who are storing up God’s WRATH against themselves, and it
will be poured out upon them in His RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.
TROUBLE and DISTRESS awaits EVERY human being
who is self-seeking, and who rejects the TRUTH and follows evil. The CONTINUAL conduct, good or bad, reveals
the condition of the HEART. If the
conduct is EVIL, in nature, then the HEART is UNREPENTANT and will have its
destiny in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY of ESCAPE.
However, if
the CONTINUAL conduct of the HEART is GOOD, SEEKING HONOR and IMMORTALITY, the
HEART is a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and will receive an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN,
with ALL its BLESSINGS. ETERNAL LIFE is
NOT rewarded for good living. Salvation
is not given by good works, but it is given because of God’s AMAZING GRACE, to
those who BELIEVE, and have a REPENTANT HEART.
Their GOOD DEEDS are a PRODUCT of the condition of their HEART. What is the condition of your HEART?
If you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are STORING UP His WRATH and
ANGER against you. And you are headed
for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE. But because of God’s AMAZING GRACE, He is
offering you an opportunity to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and to TURN
TO Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You
MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in
Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and
ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. Then ACCEPT
His gift of SALVATION, and receive God’s AMAZING GRACE as the RECOMPENSE of a
REPENTANT HEART. Do this NOW, while you
still can. He’s waiting and coming
SOON!!!
