16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ~ Psalm 94:16
Can and should Christians judge? The world – and even some Christians – might shout out something along the lines of “Do not judge lest ye be judged!” or “Judge not!” or “You have no right to judge me/another; only God can judge me/them!” These retorts misquote Matthew 7:1! In fact the Word of God is clear when it says in context that when you judge make sure you judge not hypocritically when you too are in violation of God’s commands. Our Lord Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear that we should judge, but make sure you judge righteously – that would be according to God’s Holy Word and not according to one’s own opinions! The Scripture is very clear,24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ~ John 7:24
Do you not know that every single day people make judgments as to what is right or wrong, where to study, what to do, how to do it, which job to accept, etc, etc? So to say to a Christian you have no right to judge, have you not just judged the person about judging? The reason why Christians will bring to the attention and knowledge of a rebellious person those things being done in violation of their Creator’s commands is an act of love and concern for that person’s eternal wellbeing! We live in a time when the ‘god’ of this world would want people to remain in their rebellious condition as he, Satan, is using men to blaspheme The Almighty, YHVH the Creator, through wickedness. It is evident from the sign of these times as can be read in Matthew 24 that we are fast approaching the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the same time we are also seeing the evidences that this generation are a generation of lovers of self, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God and outright God-haters. As a result we are seeing and experiencing the abominable works of Satan manifesting in greater wickedness than at any time before in history, and evil and wicked men are the tools being used by the devil to carry out his work of blaspheming the only righteous and true God Who declares that He is the LORD and there is no other ‘God’ beside Him, as we read ~
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. ~ Isaiah 41:46 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. ~ Isaiah 44:6-85 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. ~ Isaiah 45:5,622 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. ~ Isaiah 45:22
We now address the wretched sins of homosexuality, same-sex marriages, sexual education of our children and pornography that are ad nauseatingly being forced upon everyone as godly moral standards are trashed in favour of wretched, perverse immorality! A stern warning comes to mind:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ~ Isaiah 5:20
These afore-stated issues are global issues where nations around the world are pushing sexual agendas, homosexuality and the redefining of “marriage” in accordance with man’s wicked and ungodly legislation. This is not just something that has happened overnight, but it has been a calculated collective agenda of the Obama Administration. The agenda is carried out as follows – nations are bullied into following the Obama Administration in their slide into decadence, and if poorer nations do not follow the homosexual revolution coming out of the White House and from Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., the poorer nations are blackmailed and threatened that they will not receive financial and humanitarian aid in the form of the U.S. Greenback. Being bullied by a “bigger, stronger and powerful” playground bully it is inevitable the weaker, spineless nations circum out of the political pressure exerted upon them and by their own greed for fraudulent “financial aid” succumbing to the Luciferian one-world order agenda being dictated by their U.S. overlords. It is Luciferian because their actions are anti-christ, not according to God’s Holy Word!
The Obama Sexual Agenda Revolution is geared to destroy and wipe-out humanity in order to fit with their greedy, heinous requirements of the One World Order. Sound fanciful? Do not be deceived! What is perceived to be “freedoms of the people” is actually genocide of the masses. The Sexual Rights Movement, Cultural Imperialism masquerading as “democracy”, destroys nations by destroying the Biblical foundation of family which is society’s building block, and what heinous way than to “redefine marriage” in homosexuality! It is their godless way of deceiving the masses by pandering to the abominable wickedness of the homosexual community who are in fact in the minority!
There is a more sinister way through the Obama Sexual Agenda Revolution and that is through promoting pornography and its wretched evils that cause people to commit sin and the heinous crimes that follow, i.e. rape, child molestation, abuse of women and children, incest, bestiality, human trafficking, murder and drug addictions, etc. These heinous acts manifest in and through the greedy and lustful promotion of pornography. Daily the statistics change and it is estimated that the pornographic industry is worth $97.06 Billion. According to the Source: Family Safe Media, the Pornography Time Statistics read as follows:
- Every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography
- Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography
- Every second 372 users are typing adult search terms into search engines
- Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the United States
If Obama and his administration, together with the world wide community were serious in fighting the scourge of lust and heinous crimes related to the pornographic industry that can be found on the internet, in adult sex shops and even some “family” stores, as well as fighting the evils of human trafficking, they would willingly implement Internet Service Provider (ISP) Tier 1 filtering of all entry/exit points for data entering and leaving their countries and also legislate stricter vice laws. But the reality is, is that the politicians are looking after their own greedy interests which lines their own pockets than the welfare of their constituent citizenry and therefore these moral safeguards are never implemented.
As a result children are exposed to these evils and can readily access pornography on their cellular and iPhones. Whilst on the one hand people decry the sexualizing of children and child pornography, human-trafficking and paedophilia, the Obama Sexual Agenda Revolution, and all his foreign national sheeple, encourage the sexualizing of our children in and through the school education systems. Even here in South Africa young children can engage in consensual sexual activities from twelve (12) years of age and up although it is generally accepted that the legal age of consent for sex or any related sexual act is sixteen (16) years of age. In terms of the school sexual education programmes children are desensitized to accept homosexual relationships and even encouraged to participate in them when it is against normal moral practices to do that which is against nature. God created male and female to be united in union and to procreate. So is it with the animal kingdom that a male and a female beast can bring forth after its own kind. Nowhere is it possible for a man to produce with a man in the act of sodomy, neither can a female produce with a female in the act of lesbianism. The only way to describe sex between same sex partners is perversion, a sick and depraved sexual act that is against nature and which is an abomination before the God of Creation YHVH!
Homosexuals are not born homosexual. It is a lifestyle and a choice. In one word: SIN.
In accordance with the Family Watch International OHCHR Report on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, the opening paragraph reads as follows:
In November of 2011 the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), as mandated by the Human Rights Council, released a report (A/HRC/19/41) addressing “Discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity.” Unfortunately, rather than focus on preventing violence against LGBT people, which was the intent of the Human Rights Council’s mandate, the report builds on the Commissioner’s 2010-2011 strategic plan to have the world “embrace sexual minorities.”[1] The report does this by falsely claiming that international human rights law requires UN Member States to mainstream acceptance of LGBT behavior in every aspect of society, allegedly to prevent “discrimination.”The purpose of this brief is to show how the OHCHR report presents a grave threat to national sovereignty, parental rights, cultural and moral values, religious liberty, and public health and safety of UN Member States. This brief will also provide facts to counteract a number of the false claims and harmful recommendations in the OHCHR report. . . .[1 See Family Watch International Policy Brief on The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights 2010-2011 Strategic Plan.]Continue reading Here.
In the same preceding report the following is a quote that deals with the forced sexual education that takes place in schools that are taking the rights of parents away from raising their children as they deem morally appropriate. It is wondered whether the so-called liberal LGBT activists who shout out that Christians are “hateful, unloving and racist” in their absolute moral standards, according to God’s perfect standard as contained in His Holy Word, how these LGBT activists – which include the majority of the atheist community – would react to their adolescent/teenage sons and daughters being sexually violated by homosexuals and paedophiles? Surely one cannot decry this behaviour which one condones? Here is the quote that reveals what is being done in the name of “education” the world over:
Comprehensive Sexuality Education Should Not Be a Part of the Right to EducationParagraph 61 of the OHCHR report states: “The right to education includes the right to receive comprehensive, accurate and age-appropriate information regarding human sexuality in order to ensure young people have access to information needed to lead healthy lives, make informed decisions and protect themselves and others from sexually-transmitted infections” (emphasis added). Exactly what type of “comprehensive human sexuality education” are we talking about?In a footnote, the OHCHR report refers to the UNESCO International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, which contains highly inappropriate comprehensive sexuality education standards.[19] As advocated by several UN agencies and activists, comprehensive sexuality education has been known to include explicit, graphic explanations and illustrations of homosexual sex; encourage promiscuity among youth; promote condom use, as 100 percent safe; and encourage masturbation as healthy, among other issues. (See Family Watch’s special report on comprehensive sexuality education.[20]) Here are a few recent examples of the impact of comprehensive sexuality education when implemented in schools:

Our children are in reality not being educated, but indoctrinated – “indoctrination” runs counter to the norms and values of a society’s culture – to fit with the political sexual agenda for world domination! More and more it is noted that when it comes to religious rights being contested by sexual rights, the courts are more and more ruling in favour of the sexual rights’ brigade even though religious rights are specifically protected by national legislation in the form of The Constitution. Christian parents’ moral rights in raising their children, as well as also our consciences, are being violated by national legal justices in favour of abominable homosexual rights. The Scriptures are very clear as to what is considered to be a violation of God’s Holy Law – which far exceeds the laws promulgated by mere men – when we read as follows:
Leviticus 181 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God. ~ Leviticus 18:1-30
In the preceding Scriptures the violation of sexual abominations are recorded, viz. Incest (vv.7-16), Fornication of near of kinswomen / marriage of wife’s sister (vv.17-18), Menstruation (v.19), Adultery (v.20), Homosexuality (v.22) and Bestiality (v.23). These are prohibited sexual acts that God Almighty forbids so His creation would not sin against Him and incur His wrath. Yet, today wicked pornographers promote the abominable debauchery of all of the above in direct defiance of God’s moral judgments, statutes and ordinances known as His commandments!
These very despicable sexual activities, although some national legislation do find them illegal, the reality is that the readily availability of these depraved sexual acts can be accessed via the internet, mobile phones and iPads, etc – not only by “consenting” adults, but also by under-aged children! Whilst Interpol and other vice fighting law-enforcement agencies might fight the scourge of child pornography and human trafficking, world governments “turn-a-blind-eye” to the bullying power of the Obama ‘Sexual Agenda’ Administration! If anyone disagrees with this allegation, then read the following memorandums:

The Department of State’s Accomplishments Promoting the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People
Fact SheetOffice of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
December 6, 2011
“Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights, once and for all.”
–Secretary Hillary Clinton, June 2010, Washington, D.C.
Human rights are inalienable and belong to every person, no matter who that person is or whom that person loves. Since January 2009, Secretary Clinton has directed the Department to champion a comprehensive human rights agenda—one that includes the protection of the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The Department uses its full range of diplomatic and development tools to press for the elimination of violence and discrimination against LGBT people worldwide, particularly those forced to flee their homes or countries.
The Department continues to counter efforts globally that discriminate against, criminalize, and penalize members of the LGBT community. The United States recognizes the unflagging efforts and courage of advocates and organizations fighting to promote equality and justice around the world, especially in countries where doing so puts their lives and their families at risk. At the same time, U.S. personnel policies must protect the human rights of all LGBT people, and consular and other tools must be used to provide equal access and equal rights to LGBT people.
U.S. leadership on advancing human rights for LGBT people is consistent with the Obama Administration’s policy of principled engagement with the world and our commitment to uphold universal standards that apply to everyone. By supporting the inherent dignity of each person we help to foster a just world for all people and we lead by example, enhancing U.S. strategic interests as we advance our values.

Presidential Memorandum — International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons
The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States commitment to promoting human rights. I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting LGBT persons around the world whether it is passing laws that criminalize LGBT status, beating citizens simply for joining peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or killing men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation. That is why I declared before heads of state gathered at the United Nations, "no country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere." Under my Administration, agencies engaged abroad have already begun taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere. Our deep commitment to advancing the human rights of all people is strengthened when we as the United States bring our tools to bear to vigorously advance this goal.
The advancement of human rights for LGBT persons as per the Obama Administration has now gone beyond protecting them from violent acts perpetrated against the LGBT community. True Christians do not condone violence of any nature against any person group, race, sex or religion. However, the legalised “human rights of LGBT persons” now violate the very human rights of Christians and other people groups. What was morally accepted as a violation against God’s Holy Law, as recent as the 1950s, is now seen as “moral” in all its depraved immorality and peoples’ consciences are being violated by foolish judges and lawmakers who lack true wisdom, knowledge and understanding due to their lack of a godly fear for the Judge of the Universe, their Creator!
On June 26, 2015, further judgment came to the United States of America. The U.S. Supreme Court’s unelected judges, with their 5-4 vote mandating the 50 States to redefine marriage, have got it totally wrong just as the courts got abortion totally wrong 42 years ago with Roe v. Wade. The five unelected judges do not have the power to change the truth about marriage or the truth about the Constitution of “We the People . . . .” According to God – His definition still stands and the opinions of the five “Court-Jesters” have incurred God’s wrath unless they repent and plead for His forgiveness. Man-appointed judges will also stand before Almighty God on the Day of Judgment and receive perfect Justice from the Judge of the Universe!
Further, according to the STOP the Sexualization of Children! website the Sexual Agenda is to destroy young lives and not free them! Here is what appears at the website (when viewing this website please visit the link buttons on the left to get the full picture):

The Definition of and Philosophy Behind
Comprehensive Sexuality Education
While there is not one universal definition of "comprehensive sexuality education" (CSE) and what it includes, CSE is a highly controversial, "rights-based" approach to sex education that encompasses a great deal more than just teaching children and youth about sexual intercourse and human reproduction. Developed in the West, primarily in the United States, CSE is now being implemented in most countries around the world.
Comprehensive sexuality education programs seek to change society by changing sexual and gender norms and teaching youth to advocate for their sexual rights. Most CSE programs promote acceptance of diverse sexual identities and orientations and enlist youth in combating “homophobia” and "heterosexism." These CSE programs have an almost obsessive focus on sexual pleasure, instructing children and youth at the earliest ages on how to obtain sexual pleasure in a variety of ways. Some programs even encourage sexual exploration for children as young as age five.
Planned Parenthood, one of the largest purveyors of sexuality education in the United States, explains on their website that sexuality education addresses "values exploration," "safer sex," "sexual attitudes and values," "sexual orientation," and "sexual pleasure."1
The following excerpts are from a presentation at a parallel event given during the UN Commission on the Status of Women in 2010 by Dr. Miriam Grossman, one of the foremost experts in the United States on sexuality education:2
I’ve discovered that the vision of groups such as Planned Parenthood and SIECUS—the groups at the helm of sexuality education in the U.S.—is not sexual health. It is sexual freedom. These large and powerful organizations believe in sexuality that extends from cradle to grave. They tacitly endorse early sexual activity and multiple partners as well as sexual experimentation, which are the very behaviors that fuel the epidemics of sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, abortion and emotional distress.
Those people who practice the lifestyles endorsed by these groups have more doctors’ appointments, not less. . . . I’ve studied the history of sex education and one of the things you need to understand is that sex education is a social movement. Its goal is to change society. That was true 50 years ago when it began, and it’s still true. The objective is to change my society, and now, yours.
"One of the learning objectives [of sexuality education] is to "change social norms."4 [Those who advocate for comprehensive sexuality education] envision a world without sexual taboos and restrictions—a world free of Judeo/Christian morality where each individual, regardless of age, should be free to make his or her own sexual choices . . . and no judgment [is] allowed . . . It’s an "anything goes as long as you use a condom" philosophy of sex education."
In other words, comprehensive sexuality education is a recipe for sexual anarchy.

Now that the wicked deeds have been revealed, it is only fair that the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ be shared in full. Since the wages of sin bring about death, there is also a gift of God of eternal life, but that is only received through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ – God’s Way and no other way!
We see from the Biblical account in Genesis 18:16-19:29 of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah that God destroyed the wickedness of men caught up in the lifestyle of homosexuality,
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. ~ Genesis 19:24,25
God, “. . . the LORD being merciful unto him: . . .” (Genesis 19:16) only saved Lot and his two daughters for even Lot’s wife looked back “. . . and she became a pillar of salt.” (Genesis 19:26).
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Saviour of the world, confirmed this event during His earthly ministry when He taught on His second coming, saying,
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ~ Luke 17:28,29
This shows the mercy and wrath of God. His mercy will come before His wrath to those who will hear and repent. We read that foolish men and women will be handed over in their wickedness as we read in the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans:
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. ~ Romans 1:16-32
The Apostle Paul addressing the assembly in Corinth – revealing the problems, pressures and struggles of a church called out of a pagan society – says,
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:9,10
He then states the obvious that they were all like this, excluded from inheriting the kingdom of God. In the list of sins is homosexuality and those that are effeminate. Paul then reminds them that they were like that – past tense – and he expounds upon the mercy and grace of God’s salvation by saying,11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:11
There certainly is hope for the most hardened of sinners, that God will save them whosoever will respond to His salvation call. God is love and He showed His love,
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ~ John 3:16-21
Our Lord Jesus Christ said unless all persons repent they would all likewise perish. And therefore if you will repent of your wretched sin against your Creator and have your “repentance toward God, and your faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21) the LORD will save you. Scripture tells us,
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ~ Romans 10:8-17
Today is the day of salvation. Therefore examine yourself today. For tomorrow is not guaranteed to you,
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. ~ James 4:1427 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. ~ Hebrews 9:27,287 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ~ Ephesians 2:7-10
Repent today and be ye saved all the ends of the earth …
Soli Deo Gloria!
