1Thessalonians 2:13-16 – 13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe. 14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches
suffered from the Jews, 15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at
last.
It reminds me of the last days to come. Truth and the acceptance of it only will be frowned upon and shunned by the world. The big thing that Christians not following the Word are saying now is acceptance is Love. The Word of God is not rules written by men but God.
Rule one is we are sinners and doomed for hell. Rule two is God provided the only way back to Him. It’s free and He provided the way by dying on a cross. Rule three is man can’t decide he doesn’t like the other two rules and make up his own.
Salvation is our first step towards the Lord. Our lives after that are to live for our Lord and not our sinful nature.
The church in the last days will be persecuted for sticking with the Word of God. Stand for Truth!
