Would you rather feel good
or be well?
A lot of folks are made to
feel good while in actuality they are dying.
They are suffering from the horrors of the undiagnosed disease of sin. They are exemplifying all of the symptoms of sin
i.e. unforgiveness, malice, fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, disobedient
to God’s Eternal Commandments, idolatry, homosexuality, false doctrines,
witchcraft, licentiousness, lewdness, pornography, vulgar speech, vulgar
appearance, vulgar thinking, drunkenness, sexual perversions and uncleanness, BUT
NO ONE WANTS TO TELL THEM ABOUT THEIR DREADFUL DISEASE OF SIN.
Most folks are satisfied
with being made to feel good about themselves. (2 Timothy 4:3) They want to be encouraged in their sinful
state. They want to be excused from any genuine change and told that they can be
successful Christians through the process of self-improvement, learning to live
right and understanding God’s Word by continual studying and church
attendance. Some are convinced that they
can be saved simply by believing in the Lord whereas the demons also believe
and tremble. Are demons saved by faith also?
If the demons are not saved then neither are those who simply receive Christ with
a gesture of faith or some man-made sinner’s prayer.
I’d rather hear the truth
about my sinful condition that threatens my eternal soul rather than be
deceived into believing that I am alright then die and go to hell. I had rather
be thoroughly examined, properly diagnosed and prescribed God’s eternal
commandments for salvation (Repentance, Water Baptism in His Name and the Empowerment
of the Holy Spirit – John 3:3-7 and Acts 2:38) and take my medicine now than
walk around thinking I am saved only to hear the Lord tell me on that day “…I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7:21-23)
As for the would be deceiver of my soul, there is a dreadful day
ahead for him. (Ezekiel 33:1-9)
I’D RATHER BE WELL THAN JUST MADE TO FEEL GOOD.
How about you?
