Notice the emotional nature of Christianity, of conversion. It is not just a decision to believe in a fact, it is a heart that values Christ and his glory more than football, sex, money, power, games, toys. You, the pastor, have to make it a problem Sunday after Sunday, so that people fear that they will not be saved.
I think some pastors are so afraid that someone will reach the end of the service and say, “It really confronted my security of salvation this morning. “If we do not confront the security of people’s salvation when they are not saved, we send them to hell.
- We have to preach so people can prove themselves.
- “Do you examine?”.
- Says 2 Cor 13: 5.
- ?Do you examine if you really are in the faith?Well.
- One of the tests is this: do you like football better than Jesus.
- Do you love golf more than Christ?What does your heart say about Christ? Late at night.
- Completely alone.
- In front of the Internet screen.
- Ready to click on the mouse.
- What does your heart say about pornography?.
Do you have to confront them about it, because there are so many people who grew up in the church?Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Lutheran ?, for whom their faith is all tradition, all mental. There is no power in his life to love Christ, to appreciate Christ, to have affection for divine things similar to those they have for earthly things. Make it a problem!
Then I pray that throughout this meeting there will be a unity of mind that we all need, yes, to love justification, to love redemption, to love propitiation, to love liberation, to love the healing power of God, to love the ability to escape from hell, to love to enter. Heaven, love restoration with your loved ones, but all this is a path to an end!In other words, do you love Christ?
And you don’t know how long? You can say in your heart: “Death is won!God will take care of us, Die is won!? And feel it!It’s a challenge. Then you understand the most important point. Do you think it would be good, would it be a gift, would it be good?
Pastors, let’s do this. We’ll help our people save themselves.
