In the book of Hosea, God charges Israel with abandonment. Hosea makes an appeal for Israel to repent and return to God. Our present day world seems to have abandoned God too. A lot of people aren’t obeying God’s laws or commandments. Our values, morals, religious, and political systems are in chaos. The result of this kind of sinful living is death.
Our Personal Views Don’t Matter Because God Will Be the Judge
Hosea 6:1 says, “Come let us return to the LORD.” It’s time for us to do the same. Things will continue to get worse if we don’t start changing our ways. There are so many things in our world that aren’t part of God’s law, such as, living together outside of marriage, transgender, and homosexuality. These things are now acceptable and we see it in our everyday life but they still aren’t acceptable to God. Our personal views on these subjects don’t matter because in the end it will be God who judges and decides where we will spend eternity.
Most Young People Think Jesus Christ is a Bad Word and Not a Real Person
God desires us to know Him, His laws, and commandments. In an interview with Alice Cooper, he said must young people today think Jesus Christ is a bad word and not a living person. He explained how the fear of going to hell changed him. He knew his lifestyle meant eternity in a pit of fire. Seeking worldly passions and desires are Satan’s tools. The more you follow them the farther away from God you will be. We have the promise of God’s word that if we repent and believe in him as our Lord and Savior we are forgiven and are welcomed into his eternal family. In addition, on Judgement Day, all believer’s will stand before God with no condemnation. Without this God will see your sins and not his Son. Once we become believer’s our mindset will shift from living in the flesh to living in the Holy Spirit.
People Don’t Like to Suffer
People don’t like to suffer yet most don’t take the time to evaluate if their actions will cause them to spend eternity in Heaven or hell. This is a serious problem. Satan is a liar. God only speaks truth. We should all be afraid of going to hell. The Bible tells us how bad it is. To sum it up in one word – it’s evil. Let’s compare what Heaven and hell have to offer.
A Comparison of Heaven and Hell
Heaven is paradise and hell is hell. Heaven is good and hell is evil. Heaven is light and hell is darkness. Heaven is love and hell is hate. Heaven is truth and hell is lies. There will be no more pain in Heaven but hell is full of it. Don’t be fooled thinking you have time to think about this decision later because Jesus’ return will be a surprise. No one knows when He will return and world events are happening that are fulfilling prophecy. This is a fight for your life so don’t take it lightly. Be fearful of hell because it’s real.
Let God fight your battles against Satan. Let God change your heart and mind. We all owe God our gratitude. He created us and loves us. It doesn’t matter how many bad things we’ve done in our past. God is a forgiving God who will remove all guilt and shame. Satan will deceive you every single time he has the opportunity. He wants you to feel guilt and shame so he can continue to manipulate you.
Read the Bible and learn about Jesus, Heaven, and hell. Your life depends on it! Where do you want to spend eternity? Start preparing for this decision now. Tomorrow might be too late.
