Sinners Do Not Enter Heaven
THESE ARE THE STUDY NOTES FROM THE VIDEO ABOVE:
1st Corinthians 5:1-13 “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle NOT TO KEEP COMPANY WITH FORNICATORS (SINNERS): 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON (THE SINNER).”
Deuteronomy 30:16-20 “In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to WALK IN HIS WAYS, and to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS STATUTES AND HIS JUDGEMENTS, that thou mayest LIVE and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17 But IF THINE HEART TURN AWAY, so that THOU MAY NOT HEAR, but shalt be DRAWN AWAY, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I denounce unto you this day, that YE SHALL SURELY PERISH, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest OBEY HIS VOICE, and that thou mayest CLEAVE UNTO HIM: for HE IS THY LIFE, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
GOD DOES NOT HEAR YOU IN SIN
Isaiah 59:1-2 “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities (SIN) have SEPARATED between you and your GOD, AND YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR, that he will not hear.”
Isaiah 1:15-17 “And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I WILL NOT HEAR: your hands are full of blood (SIN). 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil (SIN) of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”
First… “God is love”… One can’t love if they are not abiding in Him…. Love is deliberate, all encompassing, Holy, Righteous miraculous, pure, etc. How do we love him?
John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
“SAVED SINNERS” HAVE NOT THE TRUTH & HATE JESUS
John 8:42-44 “Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 YE ARE OF YOUR father THE DEVIL, and the lusts (SINS) of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
1st John 4:7-8 “Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God; 8 he who is not loving did not know God, because GOD IS LOVE.”
No one “falls in love”… or “falls into sin”. They CHOOSE willfully to sin…
James 1:12-16 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.”
Hebrews 5:9 “And being made perfect, he (JESUS) became the author of eternal salvation UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM”
Lust is not of GOD
1st John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the LUST OF THE FLESH, and the LUST OF THE EYES, and the PRIDE OF LIFE, IS NOT OF THE FATHER, but IS OF THE WORLD.”
James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
YOU ARE (now) GOD’S ENEMY – YOU CANNOT PLEASE HIM IN WILLFUL SIN
Romans 8:5-8 “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
If you are “striving” (AGONIZING) to enter heaven and living Godly, God will WORK WITH YOU to help deliver you out of temptations (not in a calvinistic way but working together with you):
Luke 13:24 “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”
2nd Peter 2:9-10 “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
If you are in willful sin, you are under the law (in bondage):
Galatians 5:13-21 “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and YE SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21.Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
THE “UNGODLY AND SINNER” END UP IN THE LAKE OF FIRE
1st Peter 4:16-19 “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE UNGODLY AND SINNER APPEAR? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.”
2nd Peter 2:4-6 “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly.”
WARNING TO FATHERS SPECIFICALLY
Ephesians 6:4 “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
SIN HURTS THOSE AROUND YOU TOO – WILLFUL SINNERS ARE PASSING THESE SPIRITUAL DEMONS ONTO THEIR OFFSPRING:
Exodus 20:1-6 “And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME(THEM THAT SIN); 6 And shewing MERCY unto thousands of THEM THAT LOVE ME, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”
YOU ARE DEAD TO CHRIST IN SIN. YOU MUST BE LIVING HOLY AND DEAD IN CHRIST TO RISE WITH HIM ON THE LAST DAY
1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
YOU ARE DEAD IN CHRIST (IN WILLFUL SIN)…YOU ARE NOT CIRCUMCISED IN HEART….PRINCIPALITIES OF DARKNESS HAVE TAKEN OVER…YOU HAVE YIELDED TO THEM…
Colossians 2:6-15 “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK YE IN HIM( REF: 1ST JOHN 2:6): 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 (WARNING) BEWARE lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 BURIED WITH HIM (CHRIST) in baptism, wherein also ye are RISEN WITH HIM THROUGH THE FAITH (RESULTING IN LIVING HOLY) of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you (ONE ABIDING IN CHRIST), being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him (CEASED WILLFUL SIN), having forgiven you all trespasses (AFTER TRUE REPENTANCE); 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”
YOU MUST OBEY AND WALK LIKE JESUS WALKED…ONE DOES NOT KNOW CHRIST (IS NOT CURRENTLY SAVED IN SIN)
1st John 2:3-6 “And hereby we do know that WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4 He that saith, I know him, and KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: HEREBY KNOW WE ARE IN HIM. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought HIMSELF ALSO SO TO WALK, even as HE (JESUS) walked.”
1st John 3:3-10 “And every man that hath this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, even as HE (JESUS) is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother.”
1st John 5:18-21 “We know that whosoever is born of God SINNETH NOT; but he that is begotten of God KEEPETH HIMSELF, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
YOU MUST LIVE PERFECT NOW AND CONSTANTLY DENY UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS
Titus 2:11-12 “For the GRACE OF GOD that bringeth salvation hath APPEARED TO ALL MEN, 12 Teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS (SIN), we should live SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, and GODLY, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD”
YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO AND WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY
Revelation 22:11 “He that is UNJUST, LET HIM BE UNJUST STILL: and he which is FILTHY, LET HIM BE FILTHY STILL: and he that is RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM BE RIGHTEOUS STILL: and he that is HOLY, LET HIM BE HOLY STILL.
ONE IS JUDGED BY THEIR WORKS
1st Peter 1:16-19 “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth ACCORDING TO EVERY MAN’S WORK, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and WITHOUT SPOT”
I PRAY I DON’T BECOME YOUR ENEMY FOR TELLING THE TRUTH
Galatians 4:16 “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
