There are only two kinds of religions in the world; only two. The religion where God does His part and man does His part and in the end we hope we did our part and God will find favor. So what religions fit into this category?
Then there is the one true religion, which is really not a religion at all, but rather a personal relationship with the Savior as one serves the perfect Master, the God-man Jesus Christ where God has done it all in spite of man and some men, called saints, have the privilege to participate in the completed work of Christ to bring sinners to the Lord and Savior of mankind; all of God merits and nothing of man’s. Romans 3. Man was created for God’s pleasure and glory and man has despised Him in so many ways.
People have no idea just how grave their sin is and how pissed off God is at sinners and is just in being very very angry with sinners. In fact your sins are so bad that if we were able to put all of your thoughts over the past year, not counting your deeds, just your thoughts on a DVD and play it before all your friends and family; none of them would speak to you again. How much more have you offended a just and Holy God whom you do not know nor love, but give lip service to, which just adds more wrath in the judgment to come. I’m talking to all of you who have not been regenerated by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You will know if your were regenerate because you would be falling on your face and crying Thank you Thank you Thank you for saving this wretched sinner!! Your thoughts would be dominated by His love for you and you would set Him above all things, not some things, but all things. Why do you think you are on earth; there are only two reasons to be a vessel of honor to glorify Jesus Christ by teaching the gospel to others so they may also come to the Kingdom or you are just wasting away waiting for His wrath to be dumped upon you for eternity. It is not for you or about you; it is about Him!
He is the God of love and the God of Hate because to love perfectly is to hate perfectly and most of you are the object of His hate because of the offenses against Him. I am not a prophet, but Matthew 7:21 Lord Lord…depart from me. These are the many on the broad road and only a few find the narrow gate and many of those are not able to enter because they cannot let go of their self righteous works which they believe to merit salvation and thus steal the glory given only to the Son. Do you love babies, then you must hate abortion. Do you love the Jewish people, then you must Hate the Holocaust. How much more will God hate the sinner who tramples and tries to steal the glory do to Jesus? Think people; why were you created? To be a vessel of honor or of wrath? Make your choice; through yourself totally on Jesus Christ and die completely to yourself and your self-righteousness or die in your sin and be prepared for the eternal wrath of God’s just judgment to be poured onto you forever!
If you want an idea just how serious this is, then take an hour and a half of your day and listen and you will know why you exist, why you are so depraved and why it is all of God; just listen I will promise none of you here have ever heard the Gospel or the reason for the Cross anywhere you have ever been; no matter how many churches you have been in.
The Gospel: The Cross of Christ It does not mention Catholicism, Mormonism or any other ism.
May God open your minds and your hearts and listen.
