THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS

GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH.
THAT IS WHY HE IS GOD.

My question for you today is: ARE YOU SAVED AND STILL GOING TO HELL?

The problem we have in America is that we have raised two generations that are doing everything that is right in their own eyes instead of what God says is right. We have raised two generations of men and women that hate God. I am not here today to tickle your ears and preach unto you smooth things. I am here to tell you that if you have not repented of your sin and put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you are going to die in your sin and burn for eternity in hell and the lake of fire. I am talking to all the lost folks out there including unsaved church members and anyone who has ever prayed a prayer and been told that they are saved when there is no evidence of salvation in their lives. The question I have for you today is: ARE YOU SAVED AND STILL GOING TO HELL? Have you had some false prophet assure you that you are saved when you have no evidence of salvation in your life? The Bible says in:

Matthew 7:13-15 (KJV)
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV)
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I would ask you again: Has some false prophet assured that you are going to heaven when you know deep down that you are not saved. Salvation eternally changes people and their destiny. Have you been deceived? Have you been sent such strong delusion that you believe the lie that you are saved and on your way to heaven regardless of how you live? Proverbs 12:15 says: “ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. I would counsel and warn you to examine yourself and whether yo be in the faith. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:25:” There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”. So there is a way that leads to eternal death, but there is also a way that leads to eternal life.


John 14:6 (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:7-15 (KJV)
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

If you have not entered through the door, in other words the Lord Jesus Christ, then you are attempting to steal your way into heaven. I am here to warn those today who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof by claiming to be saved and continuing in a God denying wicked lifestyle. I am here to warn those that claim they are saved and continue to live a worldly, sensual lifestyle because they have not the spirit of Christ abiding in them. I am not here to leave you in your comfort zone. I am not here to tell you that it is okay for you to continue in your sin. I am here to tell you that you are still lost and dying in your sin and on your way to hell.

Isaiah 5:20-23 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Those that justify the wicked for reward are those false preachers that take bribes to tell the wicked that they are okay in their vile life style. These false preachers are hirelings. They will not preach repentance unto them. They are those preachers that have prophesied unto them smooth things. They have told them that all they have to do is repeat this prayer after me. One, two three repeat after me and in hell spend an eternity. Now, these false preachers will put themselves in the place of the Holy Ghost of God and assure someone that they are saved. On the basis of the word of God I can tell you that you do not have the power or the authority to offer such an assurance to folks.

If the salvation you have has not changed you, I am here to tell you that you are still on the highway to hell and that you will spend an eternity in hell and the lake of fire frying and sizzling like a sausage where the fire is never quenched. Your body will be used over and over again to stoke the fires of the lake of fire. You will burn and not be able to burn up. If you have been SAVED (??) and left to wallow in your sin, then you are still on the fast road to hell. Again, I would ask you: ARE YOU SAVED AND STILL GOING TO HELL?

Salvation is not a reward at the end of a good life. Salvation is not being dunked in the baptismal pool. Salvation is not in your good works. Salvation is not in your church membership. Salvation is in the God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have not repented of your sin and put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone, then you are not saved. Acts 5:21 states that salvation is repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is a God anointed and God led turning from a life of sin and a turning to a life of walking in fellowship with God. Repentance will result in a changed life. I would ask you again: ARE YOU SAVED AND STILL GOING TO HELL?

Are you trusting is some false profession, a sinner’s prayer, or your church membership to get you into heaven. Are you still working for your salvation or working to keep your salvation? Do you have constant doubts about YOUR salvation? If you have constant doubts about whether you are saved, that is God the Holy Ghost telling you that you are still lost and on your way to hell. The devil would never have you constantly doubt your salvation. God has stirred a firestorm up in your mind to let you know that you are still on your way to hell.

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ AND more importantly does he know you. Do you have Bible believing salvation or ARE YOU SAVED IN THE EYES OF MAN AND STILL GOING TO HELL?

MAN’S CONDITION:
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (Romans 3:10) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)

MAN’S DOOM AND DESTINY WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST VERSUS GOD’S GIFT TO EVERY FALLEN MAN:
And in HELL he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME. (Luke 16:23-24) And death and HELL were cast into the LAKE OF FIRE. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14-15) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

MAN’S TRAGIC DELUSION IS THAT HE CAN WORK HIS WAY TO HEAVEN:
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (Titus 3:5)

GOD’S WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE IS ONLY THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

GOD’S PROMISE TO THE LOST:
John 1:12 says: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR AND IS THERE EVIDENCE OF SALVATION IN YOUR LIFE? Are you a possessor of eternal life, or, are you a great pretender that will stoke the fires of hell?

The most tragic and most troubling things we run into in our city when we are out witnessing is the huge numbers of professing “Christians” whose Christianity is not strong enough to change their lives (and in many of our church members). Nor is it strong enough to get them into church and keep them there. Most of them are glad to tell you they are church members, but you dare not ask them ARE they saved and how and when they were saved for their father the Devil will quickly be offended and put you down the road. They will quickly brag about being a deacon, a Sunday School teacher, and a piano player, but they will not brag about the day the Lord Jesus Christ saved them. The mouth that will not publicly confess the Lord Jesus Christ is the mouth that weeps and wails from hell. What a tragedy to die and go to hell trusting in a profession that never changed you. We would ask that you prayerfully read and consider what we have said today.


SO CHURCH MEMBER: ARE YOU “SAVED” AND GOING TO HELL?
