On Judgment Day many Good People who do Good Deeds, who are even "Religious" will be sentenced to spend Eternity in Hell. Why? Matt 7:21-23 Jesus warns, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who DO the Will of My Father in Heaven will enter. On Judgment Day MANY will say to Me 'Lord! Lord! We Prophesied, Cast out demons, and Performed many Miracles in Your Name.' But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who break God's Laws." MANY people are Positive they're Saved because they think they're a Good Person, once said a "Sinner's Prayer", were Baptized, go to Church, etc. Yet the Bible clearly states you must: Repent & Trust in Jesus, THEN our Faith will be Tested to see if it's Genuine or Not. (Deut 8:2; Deut 13:3; James 1:12; 1 Pet 1:7) Even Jesus was Tempted by Satan. (Matt 4:1-11) Faith that Fizzles & Fails Before the Finish Line is Not a Saving Faith. Matt 10:22 Jesus says, "Those who endure until the end, will be Saved." Luke 6:46 Jesus says,"Why do you call Me Lord, but do not DO (OBEY) what I say?" Judas (the Disciple who "Accepted" Jesus & later betrayed Him), Failed his Tests & Temptations and was Found to be a False Convert who had a Lukewarm "Love" for Jesus (Rev 3:15-22) and a "Rocky Ground" Heart.

WOULD YOU BE GUILTY OR INNOCENT ON JUDGMENT DAY?

TAKE THE "GOOD TEST!" Test Yourself (2 Cor 13:5) & Ask: Do you think you're a "Good Person"?
If you do, let's compare your so called "Goodness" to God's Perfect Standards, the 10 Commandments.
Have you Lied or Stolen? If so, God sees you as a Liar & a Thief. Have you looked with Lust?
In Matt 5:28 Jesus says, "If you look at someone to Lust, you Commit Adultery in Your Heart." Have
you ever Hated, or been Angry at anyone? If so, God sees you as a Murderer. (1 John 3:15; Matt 5:22)
Thieves & Adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. (1 Cor 6:9-10) Liars & Murderers will be
thrown into the Lake of Fire. (Rev 21:8) We're All Guilty! (Rom 3:23) On Judgment Day we'd ALL
End up in Hell! (Rev 20:11-16; Rom 2:5-16) In Mark 7:20-23 Jesus says, “Out of a Person’s Heart,

come Evil Thoughts, Sexual Immorality, Theft, Murder, Adultery, Greed, Wickedness, Deceit, Lustful Desires,
Envy, Slander, Pride, and Foolishness. All these Evil things come from within; they are what Defile you
and make you UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD." Heb 12:14 says, "Without Holiness NO ONE shall see God.

GOOD NEWS! GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON JESUS! Jn3:16

We don't have to go to Hell! God Loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus to take the Punishment
and Die for our Sins (Rom 3:21-31; Eph 2:1-10); to satisfy God's Anger against us. (Rom 1:18-2:16) On
Judgment Day Jesus can declare us "Not Guilty" IF we Repent & Trust in Jesus. (Acts 17:30-31; Acts 20:21)

Jesus also warns us about True & False Conversion in the "The Parable Of The Sower". In this Story Jesus tells us about a Farmer (Jesus) who went out to Plant some Seeds (God's Word) in His Field. The Seeds fall on 4 Different Soils (Conditions of People's Hearts): Hard, Rocky, Thorny, and Good Soil.

1 - HARD GROUND

They Reject Jesus & Think they Understand God's Word, but Don't. (Mark 4:12) The Seed (God's Word) falls on Hard Ground (Deaf Ears). Satan Steals God's Word (Luke 8:12), & he Aims Fiery Darts of Pride & Anger at them (Eph6:16) when they hear about Jesus, & God's Word. (Acts 26:9-11)

• They Don't Resist Satan. (James 4:7) They're Spiritually Blind. (2 Cor 4:3-4) Hearts are Hard. (Heb 3:7-19)
• They're Unsaved, but think they're Saved. (Matt 15:8-9) Bible Is Boring & Seems Foolish. (1 Cor 1:17-31)
• They Believe Religious Traditions over God's Word. (Mark 7:7) They're Religious Hypocrites. (Matt 23:25-28)
• They Trust in their: Emotions, Religions, & False Teachings that Contradict God's Word. (2 Tim 4:3)

Gal 1:7 "They're being Fooled by those who Twist and Change the Truth concerning Christ." (Prov 14:12)

2 - ROCKY GROUND

Receives & "Accepts" Jesus with Joy, but No True Repentance. (Matt 3:8) The Seed (God's Word) falls on Shallow Rocky Ground. At first they're fine, but later Fall Away when Tested with Problems & Persecutions. (Gal 1:6-9) These "Christians" are Shallow & Superficial. (Luke 8:13)

• Roots in God's Word are not Deep; When Problems hit they Fall Away from Jesus. (Heb 3:12-15)
• Wilts under: Problems, Persecutions, Sufferings, Trials & Testings, Temptations. (Matt 13:20-21)
• They Hear Voices & Words "from God" that are Contrary to God's Word. (1 John 4:1-6; 2 Pet 2:1-6)

John 15:2-8 Jesus says, "He (God) cuts off every Branch that doesn't Produce Fruit and Burns it."

3 - THORNY GROUND

Receives & "Accepts" Jesus, but the Seed (God's Word) falls among Thorns (Weeds), and is sooner or later Crowded & Choked Out (Matt 13:22) by the Things of this World such as:

• Cares, Worries, Busyness of Life - (Luke 21:34; 17:26-33; Matt 24:37-39; 22:1-14; Luke 14:15-24)
• Cash, Pride in Possessions, Shopping - 2 Tim 3:2 "People will love only themselves & their Money."
• Comforts, Success, Fame - Gain is Not equal to Godliness (1 Tim 6:5-11; Matt 6:25-34; Heb 13:5)
• They Love Worldly Pleasures more than Obeying God's Word. (1 John 2:15-17; 2 Pet 2:20; Amos 5:21-24)

2 Tim 3:4 "Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God." Rom 12:2 "Don't be Conformed to the World"

Matt 13:37-43 Jesus Warns:Ungodly (Weeds) will Burn in Hell. Rom 8:6 "To be Carnally Minded is Death"

Jesus Warns: Ungodly (weeds) will Burn in Hell. (Matt 13:37-42) Rich Man in Hell. (Luke 16:19-31)

4 - GOOD SOIL

Repents & Trusts in Jesus. Seed falls on Good Ground (Humble Heart - James 4:6-10)

• They're Born Again. John 3:3 Jesus - "Unless you are Born Again you can't enter the Kingdom of God."
• They Obey God's Word (1 John 2:3-6); Forsake Sin (1 John 3:6-10) Surrendering All to Jesus (Gal 2:20)
• They Passionately Love & Conform to Jesus (Matt 10:37-39; Rom 8:29); Servant's Heart. (Matt 23:11)
• They Separate Themselves from the World & Do Not Compromise.(2 Cor 6:14-18; Rom 12:2; Titus2:11)
• They Overcome Satan's Lies, Temptations, & Anything Contrary to God's Word. (1 John 5:3-5; Rev 3:5)
• They Endure Hardships, Trials, Testings, & Persecutions for Jesus. (2 Tim 2:3-13; 3:12; 2Cor 11:23-30)
• They Pursue Holiness in Everything they Do (1 Pet 1:15-16; Heb 12:14) & Fear God. (Luke 12:5;Php 2:12)
• They Deny Self & Follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-26) They're Ready & Waiting for Christ's Return (Luke 12:35-48)
• They're Productive For Jesus (Matt 25:21) John 15:8 Jesus says,"My True Disciples Produce Much Fruit"

If You Died TODAY, Where Would YOU Spend Eternity? Are YOU Ready For Judgment Day?

EXODUS 20:3-17

Is Money, Fame, People, TV, Internet, Things, Pleasures more important than God? (1 John 2:15-17)

Isa 43:10-11 "I alone am God. There is NO other God, there never has been and there never will be."
Rom 1:28-32 "They refused to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their Evil minds…doing
things that should never be done (list of sins)...fully aware of God's Death Penalty."

Is your "god" the Holy God of the Bible, or another god you invented in your mind? (Ez 14:3-11)
Is he a "god of love" who would never send anyone to Hell? (Matt 13:37-43; Rom 1:18 thru 2:16)
Rev 21:8 "...Idol Worshipers & All Liars, their Doom is in the Lake that burns with Fire and Sulfur."

If you've ever used God's Name in Vain ("Oh my G-d!") or as a Cuss Word you are a Blasphemer.
Lev 24:16 "Those who Blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their Guilt and be Punished."
Ex 20:7 "The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse His Name." (Eph 4:29)

Sports on TV, Shopping, etc…with no thought for God? (Ex 35:2; Isa 58:13-14; Mark 2:28)

Honor & Show Respect For Your Parents. (Eph 6:1-3; Ex 21:17; 1 Sam 15:23) Rom 1:30-32 "They are forever inventing new ways of Sinning and are Disobedient to their Parents…fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things." (Matt 15:4; Mark 7:10; 2 Tim 3:1-2)

If you've Hated someone, God sees you as a Murderer. 1 John 3:15 "Whoever Hates his brother is a
Murderer; and no Murderer has Eternal Life." Anger leads to a Guilty Judgment. (Matt 5:21-22; James 2:11)
Rev 21:8 "Murderers, Unbelievers, Immoral...their Doom is in the Lake that burns with Fire & Sulfur."

Looking with Lust at a Person or Pornography is the same as Adultery in God's Eyes. Matt 5:27-28 Jesus says, "Whoever looks at a woman to Lust for her has already committed Adultery with her in his heart."
1Cor 6:9-10 "Those who indulge in Sexual Sin…Adulterers, Fornicators (ANY Sexual Activity Before Marriage), Homosexuals...NONE of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God." (Rom 13:9-14)

If you Steal one item, regardless of the amount, you are called a Thief. (Mark 7:20-23; Eph 4:28)
1 Cor 6:9-10 "Thieves, Drunkards, Cheaters...NONE of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God."

If you tell one Lie, you are called a Liar. Rev 21:8 "All Liars...their Doom is in the Lake that burns
with Fire & Sulfur." Prov 12:22 "Lying Lips are an Abomination to the Lord." (Col 3:9-10)
Matt 12:36-37 Jesus says, "You must give an account on Judgment Day of every Idle Word you speak."
 

Is your main Focus & Desire after Worldly Things? (Mark 7:22; Rom 1:29-32; 1 Tim 6:10; 1 Cor 6:10)
Eph 5:5 says, "No Immoral, Impure, or Greedy Person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God."

Do you always: Think, Talk, & Do Things for Jesus? If not, your Love for Him is Lukewarm. (Rev 3:16) If you love Family, Friends, or the World more than Jesus, you will Perish. (Matt 10:37-39; 1 John 2:15-17)

Do you Give those in need your Time & Money? Matt 25:45-46 Jesus says, "When you refused to help
the least of My Brothers, you were refusing to help Me; they'll go away into Eternal Punishment; the
Righteous to Eternal Life." In Luke 16:19-31 The Rich Man went to Hell, Poor Beggar went to Heaven.

In spite of our Failures to Obey God's Commands, He loved us so much, that He made a way of Escape from His Holy Eternal Wrath. (Rom 5:8) Here is God's Plan to save us from Eternal Hell: Jesus always existed as God, with God the Father. (John 1:1,14; John 10:30; Rev 22:13) Jesus became a man (John 1:14; Php 2:5-11; Col 2:9) Born of a Virgin, Conceived by the Holy Spirit. (Matt 1:18; Luke 1:26-35) On the Cross, a Holy God poured out His Anger, Fury, & Wrath, that we deserved because of our Sin (Eph 2:3-4; 1 Thess 5:9-10), onto a Holy, Perfect, & Sinless Jesus. (Heb 4:15; 1 Pet 1:19; 1 Pet 2:22-24; Col 2:14; Isa 6:3) Jesus became our Substitute when He died on the Cross. (2 Cor 5:21) Heb 9:22 "Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins." God treated Jesus as if He had personally committed every Sin, committed by every Person, who would ever Repent & Believe. (1 Pet 3:18) Jesus physically rose from the Dead. (Luke 24:36-43; 1 Cor 15:3-8) Jesus is Returning Soon to Judge the World with Justice. (Rom 2:5-11; 2 Thess 1:7-9) Jesus is the ONLY Way to be Saved from Hell. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Isa 43:11)

"God Commands everyone everywhere to Repent of their Sins and Turn to Him.
For He has set a Day for Judging the World with Justice by Jesus Christ." ACTS 17:30-31

Luke 13:3,5 Jesus says, "You will also Perish (Hell) unless you Repent of your Sins & Turn to God."
(Matt 4:17; Matt 18:3-4; Mark 1:15; 2 Cor 7:10; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19; Acts 20:21)

1 John 3:9-10 "Those who have been born into God's family do not make a Practice of Sinning, because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on Sinning, because they are Children of God. So now we can tell who are Children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does Not live Righteously and does Not love other Believers does Not belong to God."

1 John 2:3-6 "We can be sure that we belong to Him IF we Obey His Commandments. If someone claims, 'I know God,' but doesn't Obey God's Commandments, that person is a Liar and is not living in the Truth. But those who Obey God's Word really do love Him. That's the way to know whether or not we live in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did." (Deut 6:5-9;Josh 1:8;Mt 5:19)

Romans 12:2 "Don't be Conformed to this World, but let God transform you into a new and different person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how Good, Pleasing, and Perfect His Will really is. Rom 8:29-30 "God also Predestined (His Chosen) to be Conformed to the Image of His Son Jesus."

2 Cor 10:5 "Casting Down Imaginations, and every High Thing that exalts itself against the Knowledge of God, and bringing into Captivity every Thought to the Obedience of Christ."

1 Cor 10:31 "Whatever you Eat, Drink, or Do, you must Do All for the Glory of God."

"Life Is Short, Hell Is Forever, Repent & Trust Jesus!"sm
