“The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!” (Matt 3:3)
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" (Matt 3:2)
Do you hear the cry coming from the wilderness. From people with no schooling, no pastoral education, no qualifications from within a church. Just simple factory workers, and such. What is God's plan to use such lowly vessels to call out to you? What is the message they are bringing forth to the world at this time? Let's take a closer look, and as we walk closer, we hear one. In jogging pants and a hoodie.
Repent of your sins! Bring yourself to Christ in real inward repentance concerning your sins. Let Him sort you out now before a coming day where He will have to sort you into the Lake of Fire! He died for our sins. God the Father sacrificed Jesus of Nazareth for our transgressions, as Christ died on that old cross, "He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit" (John 19:30) and afterwards on the third day God resurrected Him! (1 Cor 15:4) He was resurrected after taking the very penalty for our sins unto Himself! Though He was never a thief He died as one. Though He never committed adultery, He died as one. Though He never committed homosexuality, He died as one. Though He never divorced a spouse, He died as though He had! Though He never sinned, He died as the greatest sinner ever to live! For our sins were put on the pure and Holy Lamb of God, Christ Jesus! (2 Cor 5:21)
The voice of those crying from the wilderness, used by the Holy Spirit pierces inwardly the hearts of sinners, and saints alike, saints who have fell asleep at their post, or Christians who do not know Jesus, being devoid of His Holy Spirit! We who are abiding in Christ simultaneously cry out for Christians to repent and get right with God the Father through Christ Jesus. While at the same time we cry out for lost sinners to come to Christ in repentance as well! Love compels us forward! His divine love pouring through us for you! (Gal 5:22-23)
No one will have eternal life; nor enter the Kingdom of Heaven who practices sin! (1 John 3:9) “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor 6:8-10) This isn’t just a message to the world, but to the churches as well! A message of hope and repentance springing forth from the very Word of God.
“…for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Rev 21:8) Your sins will find you out. Your closet will be opened by Almighty God, nothing escapes His grasp! He sees everything and everyone, day in and day out. He knows the real you. He is the Great Judge that knows everything hidden within our hearts and within our minds and He demands true repentance and for you to go to His only begotten Son to be took care of. To be inwardly changed from your sin, from yourself through the water, the blood of Christ, and the Spirit of God. (John 3)
The only cure for your sins is Christ Jesus through inward repentance! No one will be able to help you on that soon coming day! Even earth and the heavens are going to flee away from His presence on that day, (Rev 20:11) and you are not greater than they, are you? It’s certain doom to not go to Him now and repent, crying out to Him, trusting in Christ to save you from yourself, from the sinful mess you've created and chained yourself to! Those who make a practice out of sin will not be permitted to fellowship with God for all eternities. What fellowship does light have with darkness? (2 Cor 6:14) Your place instead will be where great anguish covers all within its grasp. Where pain is undeniable, and thick darkness covers even the flames. (Rev 20:15)
Flee your sins repenting of them as you give yourself over to Christ to release you from them, and cleanse you inwardly, changing you outwardly, and putting His Holy Spirit within you so you will be carful to obey Him! You must be born again through Jesus! (John 3) This is the only way! (John 14:6) Only Christ is sufficient to rid you of your sin sickness! (John 10:10) Only Christ can take away your evil heart and replace it with a clean one. (Ezekiel 36:26) Only Christ can put within you a new spirit. (Ezekiel 36:26) Be saved from this wicked generation and flee sin! (Acts 2:40) Run to Christ! No matter if you claim to know Christ or not if your practicing sin, do not be deceived you are on your way to damnation! While God allows you to still have breath repent and through faith believe on Christ and His finished work on that old cross! One day your breath will be gone, in the blink of an eye before you realize it, your oxygen will be depleted, and it will be too late. Everything will be cemented concerning you for all eternities to come!
Let conviction have its way with you! Feel your guiltiness through the compassion of the Holy Spirit to allow you to know it. Then move yourself with that heavy weight of your sins to Christ in repentance for all your sinful acts. He alone is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6) He alone offers new life, and an inwardly changed direction, God-ward, and remember I'm just a messenger. It is He you have to deal with either now, or later. Personally, I desire it be now you meet Him through inward repentance and faith that will change you inwardly, instead of later for your own sake dear friend.
