“But God!”

“But God!”

You used to live in SIN, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the HEARTS of those who REFUSE to OBEY GOD.  Ephesians 2:2

Mankind’s ungodly condition is exemplified in three ways: (1.) The ungodly follow the ways of this WORLD.  The UNBELIEVERS follow the LIFESTYLES of other UNBELIEVERS. And therefore, they experience PEER PRESSURE. This WORLD is influenced by a satanically organized system, whose commander is the devil, who heads up the POWERS of the UNSEEN WORLD. This ungodly system HATES and opposes ALL that is GODLY.

(2). The world is under the CONTROL of the EVIL ONE (1 Jn. 5:19). In the MIDDLE of the TRIBULATION, this evil one will be CAST DOWN to the earth, and he will NOT be able to RULE the world, nor will he have access to the PRESENCE of the ALMIGHTY GOD. The UNSAVED will then FOLLOW this evil ruler in his OPPOSITION to God. 

(3). This spirit is PRESENTLY “at work” in UNBELIEVERS. And this spirit REFERS to “the ruler” meaning that Satan works PERSONALLY in sons of disobedience. A “son of disobedience” is one who is a DISTINCTLY DISOBEDIENT person. And the disobedient ones are not only under the PRESSURE of the world-system and Satan’s control, but they ENJOY IT!!

BUT GOD, is SO rich in MERCY, and He LOVES US SO MUCH, that even though we were DEAD because of our SINS, He GAVE us LIFE when He RAISED CHRIST FROM DEATH and the GRAVE.  (Vv 4&5) And He will REDEEM us from spending an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  

If you have NOT come to JESUS CHRIST, for the FORGIVENESS of your SINS, then you will NOT be ABLE to ESCAPE and will be one who is controlled by the devil, and your DESTINY  WILL BE an ETERNITY in HELL.  To be ABLE to ESCAPE HELL, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  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 REMEMBER:    There is NO OTHER WAY TO HEAVEN, BUT GOD!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN!!! He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
