Thought for the Day – Warnings
Posted in Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged Elijah, godliness, revelation, study scripture, warnings on July 28, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Scripture warns of a people who honor God with their lips, but whose hearts are far from Him (Isa 29:13, Matt 15:8, Mark 7:6). Who possess a form of godliness, but who live in denial of His true power (2Tim 3:5). A people who diligently study scripture, yet refuse to come to Him (John 5:38-40). Who call Him Lord, and do things in His name, but who don’t truly know Him (Matt 7:21-23). These warnings are not aimed at an unbelieving world, they are for those who profess to be “Believers”, who consider themselves “Christians”, who refer to Jesus as Lord, and who are likely to be found in a church building. These warnings culminate in the book of Revelation, which contains strong admonitions for the various churches.

If they have to apologize in order to receive forgiveness then it’s not really forgiveness. That is not releasing them from their debt, it’s demanding payment.
