“The Effects of Not knowing God”

 “The Effects of Not Knowing God”

 

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—-His Eternal Power and Divine Nature.  So, they have NO EXCUSE for NOT knowing God.  Rom. 1:20

 

People throughout the ages, knew OF God, but they REFUSED to WORSHIP Him as the ETERNAL GOD, CREATOR of ALL things, nor did they give Him the THANKSGIVING that He deserves.  Instead, their thoughts have become COMPLETE NONSENSE, and their EMPTY minds are FILLED with DARKNESS.  Believing to be WISE they become as FOOLS. 

And instead of WORSHIPING the EVERLASTING GOD, they WORSHIPED IDOLS that were made to look like PEOPLE and BIRDS and ANIMALS and REPTILES.  And their minds became DARK and CONFUSED.  They began to THINK UP FOOLISH IDEAS of what God was like. 

And as it was back then SO it is in this DAY in which WE LIVE.  In the Book of Isaiah, the fifth chapter, Isaiah, shows us what we are experiencing NOW, to some extent.  Verse twenty, says: “What SORROW for those who say that EVIL is GOOD and GOOD is EVIL, that DARK is LIGHT and LIGHT is DARK…”.  Verse twenty-one; “They take BRIBES to let the WICKED go FREE and the PUNISH the INNOCENT.”   Those who are doing such EVIL things are SEALING their OWN FATE for ALL of ETERNITY. They KNOW God’s JUSTICE, yet they CONTINUE TO DO WICKED things, and the WORST part is they ENCOURAGE OTHERS to do them also.

PLEASE, don’t be DRAWN into their EVIL WORKS, instead ACKNOWLEDGE the ALMIGHTY, EVERLASTING, COMPASSIONATE GOD, the SUPREME RULER of ALL that WAS, IS, and yet TO COME.  So, get yourself READY for the COMING of the LORD!!!

This is what you MUST DO.  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the ONLY SON of GOD, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE, in order to SAVE MANKIND from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORROR and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  YOU MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and LOOK UP for YOUR REDEMPTION is NEAR!  Time is FLEETING! So, do this NOW while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
