To Obey Or Not Obey, That Is The Question

Ray Evans • March 31, 2020
Jesus was very clear, he didn't come "to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:32) 

Just as the "law" was not made for the obedient, but the disobedient.

Preachers are quick to point out that since Jesus came, we are not under the law, we are under grace.  They say Jesus died for our sins past, present and future and everyone who accepts Jesus will have eternal life.

If you believe that, I've got some ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

Jesus did not die for our sins...he died for the sins of the world, to wipe the slate clean so God could usher in the new Spiritual covenant; Jesus died for our benefit, but not our sins.  Sins can only be forgiven thru repentance; his death 2,000 years ago did not absolve you of your sin this morning or yesterday or tomorrow.  You must repent.

When you are reborn Spiritually, God wipes your slate clean; but if you sin after that, you must repent...or when you die, you will die a sinner; and all sinners will burn in the lake of fire. 

If you continue to sin, you must question whether you've been born again.

True, we are not under the law with respect to our eternal destiny.  Eternal life is not the reward for keeping the commandments; you keep the commandments out of respect for God.  Disobedience is simply a lack of respect.  

The "Law" was given to show us the nature of "sin."  How by keeping the commandments, society can dwell in peace.  I mean, wouldn't it be nice if no one lied, cheated, stole or murdered? 

That's the world that's coming, God's world, where every knee will bow and tongue proclaim that Jesus is Lord.

Irrespective of what you hear from the pulpit, do you really think God wants a bunch of disobedient disrespectful lawbreakers ruling his kingdom?  Do you really think disrespecting God will get you eternal life? 

If so, you don't know God.

Here is Wisdom: "Stop listening to the words of man; and start listening to the Word of God."

Until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
