“Today!”
So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness.” Hebrews 3:7, 8
That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.” So I declared on oath in My anger, ‘They shall NEVER enter My rest.’” Hebrews 3:10, 11
We live in a world that is RIDDLED with REBELLION, HATRED, and UNBELIEF. God has spoken, through His Word, about the CONSEQUENCES of living in REBELLION, HATRED, and UNBELIEF. I believe that these passages of Scripture, in the third chapter of the book of Hebrews, gives us a pretty clear picture of God’s feelings on this type of lifestyle and its outcome, as spoken of by His HOLY SPIRIT.
If you are REBELLING, against God, and you are harboring HATRED in your HEART, and are living in UNBELIEF, you are in DANGER of spending your ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. So, the HOLY SPIRIT is giving you a WARNING: TODAY, IF you HEAR His VOICE, do NOT HARDEN your HEARTS!!
REBELLION, HATRED and UNBELIEF, are some of things that ANGER the ALMIGHTY God. And those things LEAD to other WICKED ways. The Spirit says that those who practice these things, are ALWAYS going ASTRAY, and they do NOT KNOW the Ways of God, nor do they want to, in MOST cases. So, in His ANGER, and on His OATH, God has DECLARED: “They shall NEVER enter My REST.”
Those who have given their HEARTS and LIVES to God, should MAKE SURE they do NOT POSSESS a SINFUL, UNBELIEVING HEART that REBELS or TURNS AWAY FROM the LIVING GOD. Instead, they should ENCOURAGE one another DAILY, as long as it is called “TODAY,” and this will HELP them to NOT participate in the REBELLION, HATRED and UNBELIEF, and so their HEARTS will NOT be HARDENED by sin’s deceitfulness.
If you are living a lifestyle that is characterized by: REBELLION, HATRED, and UNBELIEF, and you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, you NEED to HEED the SPIRIT’S WARNING to TURN AWAY FROM YOUR sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. And BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. Then you MUST ACCEPT God’s gift of SALVATION, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and because, TODAY, is your DAY of SALVATION. So, do this NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
