A Judicious Caution
See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they [those in the days of Noah and Moses] did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who [today] warns us from heaven?
-Hebrews 12:25
Truth matters. As quoted above, no one escapes it. One day our spirit will leave our physical body, whether we die young or old. Each will give an account of how they lived their physical lives while on Earth. How will you respond to the message shared here? Will you test it, and hold on to what proves true (1 Thessalonians 5:21)? Or will you dismiss it? Consider wisely your choice.
If I [Creator God] say to the wicked, "O wicked one, you shall surely die," and you [my messenger] do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
Love cannot exist without sentient free will. Creator God, desiring a family, could not create robots and have the relationships mean anything. Rather, He created each of us with our own unique free will. We've each rebelled against Him and missed the mark. Out of His love, He sent His One-of-a-Kind Eternal Son to pay for our rebellion. Will you, with your free will, accept His loving gift, return your love to Him, enter His Kingdom, and live with Him for eternity?
Christian, will you consider the spiritual shaking (warning) that was COVID-19? Will you allow the Holy Spirit to search you, kindly expose any areas the Lord desires to cleanse, and confess them? Will you also confess the sins of your ancestors and of this land?
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts..
