This article is called, “When Your Salvation Gets Cold.” Think about that statement and let it settle into your very heart and soul. Or maybe you are thinking about your own personal Relationship of Fellowship, “WITH GOD.” How cold is it? Ask yourself, “Has this happened to me?’ WHERE IS THE FIRE AND DESIRE? Did you ever have it, or just wanted it? Was it real or just something you hoped for? Here is a very big one? WHAT HAVE YOU REPLACED IT WITH? After all when you have something new over time it will get replaced. And most people think “NEWER IS BETTER.” There are many things in peoples lives that cannot be replaced and should not be.
Christian “LOOK A LIKES,” COME IN YOUR CHURCH BULDING, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE TRUE CHRCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST.? Many come for the show, entertainment and excitement. They want to be accepted and be part of this. They will gladly join and give to be a part of this. They will gladly profess to be a Christian, but they do not posess God in their lives. This is a relity in so many modern day churches. Man Yey saved people come, they sit, they listen then they leave.
They think they have just done their duty towards God, because they were there. Yet when you ask them 5 minutes later what the preacher preached on, they cannot tell you. Christians have become satisfied with “THE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE-NOT GOD.” Yes, too many “religious doctrines,” have entered the churches and replaced, the doctrine of Jesus Christ.
There is no replacement for The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is no replacement for God’s Holy Word. The is no replacement for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is no newer version of sin, forgiveness and Salvation through God’s mercy and grace. As God has said, I am the Lord, I change not. When and how did God and Salvation change in your life? What new fake doctrine has crept into your, church, home or life? Did you go with the flow and just accept it? For this article, I will post more than the usual pictures I post for meaning.
FALSE DOCTRINES AND FALSE TEACHERS
This is nothing new and God warned his people and Apostles all about it when they walked on earth. Jesus Himself fought it when He walked on earth. Here is what Paul told Timothy, Acts 20:29-31 “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warnevery one night and day with tears.”
II Timothy 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.” Even in the first century, false doctrine, the worldly practices, and false Religions, had crept into the churches and were trying to take over. Now add to that the false gospels, the false teachers, false doctrines, the false Jesus, false Messiah, and false worldly Saviors. And you should understand Satan started it. How far are you willing to let Satan pull you away from God?
In our modern day we have so many fake movements it really makes Jesus, want to “PUKE.” Jesus Himself said in Revelation 3:15-16 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” UNCOMMITTED.” Have you become one of them, just floating along with the heathen?
False fake Prophets of today, like the “NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION FAKERS, AND THE HEALTH AND WEALTH FALSE GOSPEL. Plus many other Charlatans. Here is the real problem in society and the churches. The Jesus and God of the Holy Bible, is no longer acceptable. Mankind has changed everything about God and Jesus, into the God and Jesus that they want and will accept. And that dirty word called “SIN” must be abolished, replaced, and done away with.
MODERN DAY CHANGE
A New Progressive, Woke, Politically Correct World and Church. The cross has never changed. God’s Word has never changed. When did you accept this into your heart and life? Feminist have changed God’s Biblical order. Governments no longer accept God’s position as Creator. When and how did “YOU CONFORM” to all of the globalist and world so called standards and agenda? When did you “RESET YOUR LIFE” to a life of confirmatory, without God? Morality
When did you decide to allow and replace God’s Morality and Biblical Morality with the worlds immorality they demand and legislate? This is all new and modern: Do you think this is bigger and better? GOD DOES NOT. Where is your Personal Morality and when did it change for you?” Or just keep your mouth shut and just accept it. Say nothing and just live with it. Lets all just come together and concentrate on what we have in common. (That is the attitude). Do you accept all the new modern day terms? Are you afraid to be called a “HATER?” Or do you love what God loves and hate what God hates?
Matthew 6:24 ““No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Which one do you choose? I John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
HOW COLD IS YOUR SALVATION, HOW COLD IS YOUR WALK WITH GOD, HOW COLD IS YOUR FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD, AND HOW COLD IS YOUR SERVICE TO GOD? Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Or are you just trying to hold on, and pray the Lord comes soon to take Christians home to heaven?
CONCLUSION
To the Christians I ask these questions. “How cold have you become? What took away your fire and desire for more of God?” I listed many of those things above. We live in a wicked, evil, sinful world and fear can cause withdraw, even from God. The world wants to tell you,”BACK OFF WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK AND BELIEVE” But fear should draw you closer to God. The world wants to tell you, “You are either with us, or against us.” That is fearful. And Satan loves it. ARE YOU NOT TIRED OF BEING COLD? The unknown is always scary to us. But our faith and trust is not in the unknown, but in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There is no unknown with HIM.
To the unsaved, non-christian. You are in very bad shape because this screwed up world is the only hope you have, and that is very little hope. God is real, Satan is real, heaven is real and hell is real. There are only 2 choices for eternity and you have free will, the ability to make your own choice. You are already an eternal person, you were created and made with an eternal soul. You choose who will win in your life for all eternity, and there will be either good or bad consequences with your decision. SATAN AND THE WORLD WANTS TO ERASE AND REPLACE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD. THEY WANT TO REPLACE HIM WITH THEM. Will you let them do this in your life?
It does not matter what the entire world proclaims about: right and wrong, death, heaven and hell, morality and immorality. WHAT TRULY MATTERS IS WHAT OUR CREATOR HAS TOLD US. “SIN” has separated us from God, from His forgiveness and Salvation. Jesus paid the penalty and payment for our sin so that we could be reconciled back to God and forgiven. Sin is a killer just look at Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23, that is why we all die. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Will you turn from yourself and turn to God for forgiveness and Salvation? Will you put your faith and trust in Jesus for Eternal Salvation? Will you bow your heart, and call upon God. I Corinthians 10:13 says, “For who so ever shall call (ASK) upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I promise you on the authority of God’s word, that he will save you, forgive you and make you, His child. HE IS THE SUPREME AUTHORITY WHO POSSESSES ALL POWER AND HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIS ETERNAL LOVE TO YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD.
Let God’s Righteous, eternal love, change your life, and save your soul eternally. II Corinthians 5:21 “For he (GOD) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Our morality is like filthy rags to God. Stained with SIN AND IMMORALITY. GOD CHANGES THAT FOR US WHEN YOU COME TO HIM. LET HIM MAKE YOU CLEAN.
If you have prayed and received God’s forgiveness for sin, please let me know in the comment section at the bottom so I can rejoice with you. Also, your thoughts, opinions and comments are welcome so leave them also in the comment section at the bottom. This concludes “WHEN YOUR SALVATION GETS COLD.” Now please enjoy this beautiful song.
