Sin often makes a person feel important. But when accountability comes, they realize that their soul has been enchanted. They thought it was alright to live far from God, without realizing that one day they will sit at the judgment seat of Christ and answer for their actions. The lost will hear the sentence that will cause the greatest revolution within them, making them feel miserable. Unfortunately, however, there will be no forgiveness for those who refuse the salvation provided by Jesus (John 3.36)!

Those who choose the wrong path are aware of their bad decision. Some believe it's okay to live this way, comparing themselves to people who act worse than they do, doing the devil's bidding. Sin separates man from God. That's why the faithful servants teach everyone to convert, so that their iniquities may be forgiven and they may be delivered from Satan's hands (Isaiah 55.6,7).

The Israelites would remember the crimes they had committed, because there were servants of the Most High condemning their practices everywhere. Those who have the divine judgment soon repent and seek the Lord, who is merciful to forgive, and begin to do good deeds. The Holy Spirit convinces the sinner to free him from eternal damnation, but some do not heed the words of the Comforter. These will despair greatly.

The fact that you refuse to do the devil's will shows who lives in your heart. No one can claim not to know that they are in sin, because their conscience will torment them (Romans 2:14-16). Be sensible and give the Lord the answer to the warnings you are given. The Holy Spirit will only say the right thing, but some people close their ears to the sweet voice from heaven (1 Thessalonians 5:19). Run back to God!

Why walk around with a guilty conscience, blaming others for your faults? Those who follow the Bible will not despair on that Day. Because they have obeyed the Word and accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord, they will not face eternal judgment, because they have passed from death to life (John 5.24). Everything depends on your decision to be totally freed. Pray to the Most High right now and be forgiven and saved.

By surrendering to Christ, you will be born again, forgiven and receive Heaven's confirmation in your heart. At the same time, you will feel disgusted with yourself for having taken shameful paths. Then, a respect for the common good will grow in you, because what you long for to happen to you is your desire for others. The change will be so great that even your friends will notice it.

There's nothing better than conducting ourselves as Jesus did (Acts 10:38). Christ died on our behalf on the cross so that we could be instruments in His hands. His work has delivered us from the kingdom of wickedness. So instead of doing evil, we will do good to those who need healing, deliverance and salvation. Let's take up our position at the Lord's side!

In Christ, with love,
