IS YOUR SIN REALLY WORTH GOING TO HELL FOR? Part 2Only You Can Decide<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Still not sure where you currently are with God? Want to know? If you are right with God, you are literally active and fruitful in the following things He commanded. If you are right with Him, you are obediently doing what He commanded. If you are right in His site, you are presently:
o  Boldly communicating His salvation to others, calling them to repent and believe upon Him or perish in hell – because you love Him and them more than self
o  You are showing charity and love to all of the LORD's children
o  You assist others in any way possible
o  You are abstaining from all appearances of evil or temptation to sin
o  You are living a life of godly repentance and the forsaking of any thought, word or deed that offends His holiness
o  You are fasting, praying and studying His Word daily
o  You are crying out to Him for brokenness and a clean heart
o  You give all within your means to further the cause of the Gospel
o  You are abolishing and staying clear of any idol of the heart as you burn with flaming love for Jesus Christ
o  You are currently crying out and looking for the soon return of the Savior for His few who are on the narrow road that leads to life
The absence of these things from one's life testifies to the backslidden state of the heart. Such a person is under the judgment of a holy God who will soon return "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day." (2 Thess. 1:6-9)
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:16
WHO ARE WE LYING TO BUT OURSELVES?            
"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."  1 John 2:3-4
ONLY A FEW WILL MAKE IT
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:13-14
Friend, How many times have you been warned? How long will you harden your heart? How long will you deny Jesus Christ while embellishing yourself with temporal pleasure and comforts which have lulled you into a deadly stupor and sleep? Hell awaits.
"Woe to them that are at ease in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Zion." Amos 6:1
There is not one unconditional blessing in the divine economy. Every blessing, including everlasting life in Heaven and missing hell, hinges upon the obedient faith (the only kind of authentic saving faith) of the recipient of the message and the grace.
"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." James 1:6-8
If you are not this moment crucified with Christ, you have denied Him and are serving the false god of self which indisputably incriminates you an idolater in His holy site and worthy of eternal damnation. Those who do not surrender their will to Christ in whole hearted, first love devotion are not His and are divinely promised not to be worthy of His holy Heaven:
"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them." Galatians 5:5-7
The dismal penalty for choosing the selfish sinful pleasures in this fleeting life will never end.
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Galatians 5:24
"NO MAN"
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24
Regardless of his past fellowship with Christ, the one who departs from the LORD, loses out.
Friend, are you serving Christ or self? According to Jesus, the answer is either one or the other – it is an impossibility to serve both masters. Is it really worth it to "despise" Jesus Christ while serving self interests? To refuse outright and blatant obedience to Him is to deny Him and forsake all divine mercy.
"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy." Jonah 2:8
Friend, are you going to "cover", or confess, forsake, and flee from sin?
"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13
Be not deceived: If experiencing the things of this fleeting world is more important to you than literally fellowshipping with and performing the will of God, you have denied and defied Him and are in love with the world and are the enemy of God (1 Jn. 2:15-17). If one loves this present world and the things in it, he is living in a state death – the state of spiritual adultery. Such a person will go to the eternal dwelling place of all enemies God – regardless of what he professes with his mouth:
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15
